"After 300 years of Leibniz research, this volume takes stock: the manual reception and research of Leibniz's contributions to the humanities, natural and technical sciences are presented in order to create a working tool for all scientists and disciplines that deal with Leibniz. The interdisciplinary overview reveals the historical contexts that have shaped the image of the universal scholar and the economic cycle of research in the past three centuries. It is supplemented by an outlook on existing research desiderata. A source source also makes the extensively preserved holdings of Leibniz's work and their eventful publication history accessible. The conditions and areas of Leibniz's diverse activities for the Princely Court and the Republic of Scholars, academies and libraries are also taken into account. It is only on this basis that his universal profile and its effect in the differentiating modern scientific landscape become recognizable, which, be it in philosophy, mathematics, history, politics, linguistics, physics or in law, can be recognized up to the present day." --Translated from back cover
