Although Peter Lambeck had good contacts to the Republic of Letters, as court librarian in Vienna he had to resort to roundabout ways to participate in the exchange of books and knowledge transfer at the time. It proved difficult to manoeuvre Vienna from its peripheral position in the academic network. Moreover, procuring books via Domenico Federici in Venice proved to be increasingly unproductive. Ultimately Lambeck failed to achieve his original goals. How did this turnaround in Lambeck’s career come about? Dr. Vittoria Feola puts it down to a fundamental difference in culture between Viennese secrecy and the openness of other centres such as Paris.

Abstract
Although Peter Lambeck had good contacts to the Republic of Letters, as court librarian in Vienna he had to resort to roundabout ways to participate in the exchange of books and knowledge transfer at the time. It proved difficult to manoeuvre Vienna from its peripheral position in the academic network. Moreover, procuring books via Domenico Federici in Venice proved to be increasingly unproductive. Ultimately Lambeck failed to achieve his original goals. How did this turnaround in Lambeck’s career come about? Dr. Vittoria Feola puts it down to a fundamental difference in culture between Viennese secrecy and the openness of other centres such as Paris. Perhaps Lambeck’s isolation even had to do with an imperial order?Pubblicazioni consigliate
