Abstract

The article first examines the attempts to methodise and systematize the modes of travelling within the early modern apodemic discourse. Special emphasis is paid to the early modern traveller's modes of perceiving, observing, and judging. The interrelations between travelling, visitingfamous scholars and correspondence as well as between travelling and the various formal and informal institutions (universities, scholarly societies, libraries, cabinets, publishing houses etc.) of the “res publica literaria” is analysed in detail. Having interpreted travelling as an early modern mode of communication, epistemological and cultural repercussions of the differentiation of travelling since the second half of the 18th century will be hinted at. *Das Zitat stammt aus August Ludwig Schlözer, Vorlesungen über Land‐ und Seereisen..., nach dem Kollegheft des stud. jur.
