Manufactory Map Theophilus

The name Theophilus goes back to the orig­inal, the “Theophilus” of the 12th century. The long lost work was discov­ered in 1770 by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Theophilus was the “Enzyk­lopädie des deutschen Kunsthandw­erks”, written by Theophilus Pres­byter, a Bene­dic­tine monk from Cologne.

His work presented German work­shops and various styles of crafts­man­ship. The new Theophilus picks up this thread again and presents today’s arts and crafts on around 500 pages.

 

The manu­fac­to­ries are arranged geograph­i­cally and themat­i­cally. Maps, places, prod­ucts, prices, personal life views of the manu­fac­tory owners and other infor­ma­tion are displayed clearly and can be found quickly. Despite the large volume, the book is a handy cultural travel guide for tours to still undis­cov­ered places throughout Germany.
