Collecting is a fascinating human-thing entanglement that arises from psychological incentives rooted in doubts and anxieties. It serves as a means to create a pleasant, unthreatening, and even paradisical environment to compensate for the uncertainties of everyday life. This book explores the phenomenon of collecting in various contexts, including the Habsburg empire, Rococo collecting in France, a fanatic English book collector, and a 16th/17th century encyclopaedic Dutch collector. It also delves into the intriguing story of Baron Edmond de Rothschild's boxes. The contributions to this book were first presented as papers at the seminar "The Psychology of Collecting" in June 2022, organized by the Interdisciplinary Research Group "Museums, Collections and Society" of Leiden University, Netherlands.
