The article examines the close relation between early modern media of illusion and literary imagination in 17th century. The disembodied imagines of optical apparatuses like the camera obscura and laterna magica were met with great fascination by literary writers such as Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen and Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac as well as authors of compilations such as Athanasius Kircher and Georg Philipp Harsclorffer. Their reactions to the tense arrangement of projection, illusion and literary as well as technical imagination ranged from aesthetic enthusiasm to open rejection. Especially novelists like Grimmelshausen and Bergerac drew parallels between the ability to create disembodied images with the help of optical machines and their own power of literary imagination.
