Abstract
Eric Garberson's interdisciplinary study is a substantial revision of his doctoral dissertation (Johns Hopkins, 1990). The 226 numbered pages of this small volume consist of 116 pages of actual text, supported by notes, a bibliography, a catalog of libraries, copies of archival documents, and an index. In addition there is an unnumbered section of schematic plans and thirty-four black-and-white photographs of library interiors and ceiling frescoes. The study complements the two-volume folio edition of Die Bibliotheksräume der deutschen Klöster in der Zeit des Barock by Edgar Lehmann (Berlin: Deutscher Verlag für Kunstwissenschaft, 1996). These two works are the only studies in book form that deal with this genre of libraries unique during this period.
