The study investigates imaginary libraries in literary works of the
16th and 17th centuries and their status in the context of the
history of ideas. Since the invention of printing there had been a
headlong increase in the production of texts, accompanied by a
corresponding information overload. These were the preconditions
required for certain feats of the imagination to become possible in
the first place. In the form of thought-experiments, contemporary
literary figures and scholars attempted to outline solutions for
the urgent problems involved in imposing order on the unmanageable
plethora of texts and assuring the progress of knowledge in the
face of the untrammeled abundance of factual information.
