merely enumerative, but an evaluative and commentatorial bibliography is feasible in digital form. One of the main disadvantages of a printed version is that it is usually outof-date at the time of publication. For a printed publication an adequate typographic presentation would have been desirable. The dashes around the parentheses are of different length, the quotes on the right side are different in part, there are a lot of hyphens to divide syllables one below the other at the end of the line, and last but not least, I think it would have been better to choose a smaller font size for the bibliographies. That this book is not focused on the presentation of new research means the value for current research discussions may not seem all that big at first sight. This publication is a kind of guide through Cusanus reception of the last five centuries, offering its readers starting points and orientation. These are values that are not to be underestimated.
