How to questions keep society going, allowing us to refine civilisation. Until the recent age of social media, printed guides, instructions and recipe compilations were the media of knowledge transfer that prevailed. The label 'Age of How to' has been given by scholars to the 16th century, when not only ephemeral printed products but also hardbound voluminous books with practical advice flooded the market. In this project, concrete-pragmatic knowledge as it found expression in How to formulas, is treated from a comparative, diachronic and cross-disciplinary perspective. The basis is a concrete selection of materials from the University of Glasgow Library (UoGL) and the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel (HAB): notably treatises from the early modern period on distillation, medicine, dyeing, cosmetics, glassmaking, ceramics, metallurgy and much more quench our curiosity. A 'histoire totale' of practical knowledge can be gleaned from their pages, but these sources need to be contextualised typologically and examined with the help of innovative methods from the fields of cultural studies and digital humanities. A cooperative constellation between the HAB and the UoGL creates the conditions conducive to this goal.The HAB, with its holdings that have grown over centuries and which, as a princely collection, has tended to neglect ephemeral book formats, meets the UoGL, whose magnificent Ferguson Collection has always paid attention to even the most inconspicuous book. While the HAB has been pioneering (since the 1990s) in successively digitising its historical holdings and making them accessible, even in 2023 the Ferguson Collection remains largely absent from the scholarly digital universe. This cooperation project has set itself the goal of (partially) remedying this omission. The benefits are therefore twofold: two complementary national academic cultures meet so as to bring together both indexing and applied research. The project has three cultural studies foci at its core - 'Issues of Practicability', 'Intermediality between Text and Image' and 'Materiality and Traces of Use' - through which questions about the main features of How to books unfold. The project's scaffolding stands on the foundation of indexing with its three approaches: 'Corpus Building', 'In-depth Indexing' and 'Digitisation'. A bespoke multilingual digital indexing tool will be developed for the How-to book genre with its instruction manuals and recipes. Many of these books are completely inadequately indexed and therefore hardly identifiable. Since research and cataloguing take place simultaneously in this project, mutual and ongoing insights and perspectives are to be expected. Overall, in Glasgow-Wolfenbüttel collaboration, we aim to gain new insights into the early modern codification, dissemination, and application of practical knowledge through a combination of systematic analysis and indexing.

如何质疑社会的前进，使我们能够完善文明。直到最近的社交媒体时代，印刷指南，说明和配方汇编都是盛行的知识转移媒体。学者们给了16世纪的学者们的标签“如何”标签，当时不仅短暂的印刷产品，而且还带有实用建议的大量繁多书籍淹没了市场。在这个项目中，从比较，历时性和跨学科的角度来对待具体捕集的知识，因为它在如何进行公式中发现了表达。该基础是从格拉斯哥大学图书馆（UOGL）和Herzog August BibliothekWolfenbüttel（HAB）中选择的材料：值得注意的是，近代早期就蒸馏，染色，染色，化妆品，化妆品，玻璃制作，玻璃制作，玻璃制作，陶瓷，陶瓷，金属制品，金属质量以及更多的浓度。可以从它们的页面中收集到实践知识的“历史记录”，但是这些来源需要在本文上进行类型化，并借助文化研究和数字人类领域的创新方法进行检查。 HAB和UOGL之间的指导星座为这一目标创造了导电的条件。HAB凭借数百年来的股份增长了，并且作为王子收藏，它倾向于忽略近代书的格式，遇到了uogl，符合UOGL，其宏伟的Ferguson Collection始终关注最不合时宜的书籍。尽管HAB自1990年代以来一直在成功地数字化其历史持有物并使其可访问，但即使在2023年，Ferguson Collection仍然在很大程度上不在科学数字宇宙中。该合作项目的目标是（部分）纠正此遗漏的目标。因此，好处是双重的：两种完整的国家学术文化相遇，以便将索引和应用研究汇总在一起。该项目具有三个文化研究，其核心 - “可实用性问题”，“中间文本和图像”和“物质性和使用痕迹” - 通过，有关如何展开书籍的主要特征的问题。该项目的脚手架以其三种方法为基础：“语料库建设”，“深入索引”和“数字化”。定制的多语言数字索引工具将使用其说明手册和食谱为操作书籍类型开发。这些书中的许多人完全没有足够的索引，因此几乎无法识别。由于研究和分类仅在这个项目中进行，因此可以期待相互的见解和观点。总体而言，在格拉斯哥 - 沃尔芬布尔（Glasgow-Wolfenbüttel）的合作中，我们旨在通过系统分析和索引结合结合使用现代现代编纂，传播和应用实践知识的新见解。
