History
European book trade (in the 17th Ventury)
In their quality as agents, diplomats, artists, scholars and merchants functioned as crucial intermediaries in the distribution of books, manuscripts and art in Europe. As has been explained, their professional background and qualities were decisive factors in their success as bibliographical entrepeneurs. Conversely, these qualifications may explain why a scholarly ***book scout*** like Nicolaas Heinsius – hunting rare editions and manuscripts all over Europe on assignment of Queen Christina of Sweden – eventually could embark on a diplomatic career
