Gebundenes Buch

Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850

Beschreibung

During the early modern period, the emergence of modern science took place mainly in Latin, the international language of educated discourse. However, the Latin literature in which most new insights were presented at that time has never been studied as a whole and in its own right. This book provides the first overview of this vast body of texts.
