< doctype html public '-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en'>< >Jakob Friedrich Reimmann stands between Baroque and Enlightenment. He is one of the major representatives of early 18th centuryhistoria litteraria, that forgotten discipline which set out to be a history of education, science and the book, and which Reimmann himself applied systematically to a whole range of subjects and cultures. His oeuvre may be seen as typifying the tensions emerging between an inherited faith in providentially ordained history and a new skeptical/hypothetical scientific culture.
