This book discusses the early modern engagement with books that
survived intentional or accidental fire in Lutheran Germany. From
the 1620s until the middle of the eighteenth century, unburnt books
became an attraction for princes, publishers, clergymen, and some
laymen. To cope with an event that seemed counter-intuitive and
possibly supernatural, contemporaries preserved these books,
narrated their survival, and discussed their significance. This
book demonstrates how early modern Europeans, no longer bound to
traditional medieval religion, yet not accustomed to modern
scientific ways of thinking, engaged with a natural phenomenon that
was not uncommon and yet seemed to defy common sense.
