In this study, new archival research enables a re-reading of the controversial art historian Hans Sedlmayr. Modes of citing, excerpting, and writing are analyzed in depth and examined as practices of theory formation. This textological investigation sheds light on receptive, productive, and material aspects that are constitutive for the emergence and discursivization of a scientific model of thought.
