"'This book argues that changes in the generation, preservation and circulation of
information, chiefly on newly available and affordable paper, constituted an 'information
revolution'. In commerce, finance, statecraft, scholarly life, science, and communication,
early modern Europeans were compelled to place a new premium on information management.
These developments had a profound and transformative impact on European life. The
huge expansion in paper records and the accompanying efforts to store, share, organize,
and taxonomize them are intertwined with many of the essential developments in the
early modern period, including the rise of the state, the Print Revolution, the Scientific
Revolution, and the Republic of Letters"
