First French edition of Amici's famous paper ""Dei microscopii catadiottrici"" first published in Italian in 1818, in which he describes his invention of a new type of catadioptric microscope, the first with successfull achromatic lenses. The invention had a great impact on biology - Amici himself was able to see the streeming movements of protoplasm in the Alga Chara and in examining the hairs on the stigma of Purslane he saw a tube given off by the pollen grain, and the granular content os prerform streaming movementys like those in Chara, an importent feature in plant fertilization.

The first comprehensive survey of the major - but much neglected - contribution made by holy women to the religious culture of the later Middle Ages. Medieval Holy Women in the Christian Tradition offers the first wide-ranging study of the remarkable women who contributed to the efflorescence of female piety and visionary experience in Europe between 1100 and 1500. This volume offers essays by prominent scholars in the field which extend the boundaries of our previous knowledge and understanding of medieval holy women. While some essays provide new perspectives on the familiar names of the unofficial canon of mulieres sanctae, many others bring into the spotlight women less familiar now, but influential in their own time and richly deserving of scholarly attention. The five general essays establish a context for understanding the issues affecting female religious witness in the later Middle Ages. The geographical arrangement of the volume allows the reader to develop an awareness of the particular cultural and religious forces in seven different regions and to recognize how these influenced the writing and reception of the holy women of that area. Seventeen major figures have essays devoted exclusively to each of them; in addition, the survey chapters on each region introduce the reader to many more. The extensive bibliographies which follow each chapter encourage further reading and study. Alastair Minnis was Director of the Centre for Medieval Studies and Head of the Department of English at the University of York, and is currently Douglas Tracy Smith Professor of English at Yale University. A Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America and of the English Association, he is the author of six monographs and the editor or co-editor of fifteen further volumes. Rosalynn Voaden (D.Phil., University of York, UK) is the author of God?s Words, Women?s Voices: The Discernment of Spirits in the Writing of Late-Medieval Women Visionaries, and is the editor or co-editor of several volumes in the field. She was a Research Fellow at St Anne?s College, Oxford, and is currently Associate Professor of English at Arizona State University.

First appearance of this paper in which Amontons describes his invention, construction and function of his air thermomer. He thus improves on Gallileo's design by using air pressure instead of volume. The paper is the earliest study in this field, and Amontions concludes ""that unequal masses of air under equal weights invcrease equally the force of their spring for equal degrees of heat"" Fifteen years later Gay-lussac performed the same experiments with better technique and results - the Gay-Lussac laws.The paper ""contains Amontons' account of the first thermometer with which temperature was measured by the pressure of air.""(Magie ""A Source book in Physics"", pp. 128 ff.).""His first scientific production was a Hygrometer in 1687....The other was an air thermometer independent of the atmospheric pressure. Air occupied the top of one of the branches of a U-shaped tube, and by its dilation it pushed down one of the mercury columns so that the other end ofthe branch formed a barometric chamber.""(DSB I, p. 138 a).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1702 M).

This was Ampère’s first excursion into molecular physics, and was followed almost immediately by a second. In 1815 he published a paper demonstrating the relation between Mariotte’s (Boyle’s) law and volumes and pressures of gases at the same temperature. The paper is of some interest as a pioneer effort, along with Laplac’s great papers on capillarity, in the application of Mathematical analysis to the molecular realm.""(DSB).The volume contains 3 importent papers by Jean-Baptiste Biot on polarisation of light and Berzelius ""Experiences pour déterminer les proportions définies, dans lequelles les élémens de la nature organique sont combinés"" + ""Suite..."" 1-2, pp. 5-33, pp. 170-190 a. pp. 296-232

First appearance of Ampere's notable memoir (issued in 4 parts) in which he tries to set up a classification system for the elementary entities in chemistry tieing the elements together in a natural classification, a dim foreshadowing of the periodic table.""Here (in the paper offered) he drew attention to the similarities between Lavoisier's and his fellowers classification of elements in terms of their reactions with oxygen and Linnaeus' classification of plants in terms of their sexual organs. Bernard de Jussieu had successfully challenged Linnaeus with a natural system that took the whole plant into account and sought affinities between all parts of the plant, not just the flowers, as the basic classification. Ampère now wished to do the same thing for chemistry. By discovering a natural classification, i.e., one that tied the elements together by real and rather than artificial relations, Ampère hoped to prove a new insight into chemical reactions. His classificatory scheme, therefore, was not merely an ordering ofthe elements but, like the later periodic table of Dimitri Mendeleev, a true instrument of chemical research. Ampères system was as artificial as Lavoisier's...Thepapermay be noted, however, as an early attempt to find relationships between elements that would bring some order into the constantly growing number of elementary bodies.""(DSB I, p. 143).

Heidi Kippenberg studied ceramics under Walter Popp, the legendary teacher at the Kassel Art Academy whose avant-garde work opened up new dimensions of form and expression for ceramic vessels. She internalized the aesthetic of Popp?s vessels and simultaneously gave them her own distinctive touch. Strongly twisted, thick-walled, sometimes mounted stoneware vessels, further enlivened by thick monochrome glazes and augmented with sign-like contrasting glazed accents, characterize her oeuvre. Later she was inspired by East Asian ceramics and began to build her vessels, assembling them from slabs, giving their surfaces a lively structure, and transforming them into decorative landscapes. An oeuvre spanning more than half a century can be admired!
