Editorial Introduction
(2022)
The paper seeks to analyse the case of the theologian Tinius, one of the best-known representatives of >book- addiction< (bibliomania), as it is described in authentic contemporary documents, popular literature and fictionalised adaptations. Explanations of the phenomenon range from a special socialisation, rational calculation, criminal anthropology, and the >Faustian urge for knowledge<, to diabolical bibliophily and a theology of sin. A historical synopsis shows the heterogeneity of the contemporary criminal and psychiatric discourse on bibliomania as a >literary disease<. The continuing reception of the bibliomania exemplified by Tinius in a variety of literary genres suggests that it incorporates a considerable amount of >social energy<, based on the fascination with the >Other< of reason.

In 1735, the Leipzig professor of medicine Samuel Theodor Quellmaltz (1696–1758) designed and built an artificial horse. He presented it in an illustrated construction manual, which included precise information about the materials and dimensions of this wooden horse for therapeutic use. This contribution analyses Quellmaltz’s invention of the ‘machine horse’ as a medical and technological contribution to prevalent theories about the paradigmatic role of the machine in Enlightenment thought.
