This is the first volume of a new publication series by the Kunstkammer Georg Laue: Kunstkammer Edition. From the preface of the editor Georg Laue: "The Kunstkammer Edition allows me the opportunity to publish academic articles on particular artists or objects alongside my existing catalogue series, which in contrast focuses on specific themes surrounding the Kunst- und Wunderkamer. I have deliberately decided to dedicate the first volume of the Kunstkammer Edition to the world of the Kunst- und Wunderkammer in general. It should give all Kunstkammer enthusiasts and experts the possibility to place the objects from the Kunstkammer Georg Laue within the context of this theme and to inspire the creation of their own collections."
