(London, Harrison and Sons, 1880). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"", Vol. 171 - Part II. Pp. 713-891. A few textilustr. Clean and fine.
First printing of a main work by the ""Father of Geophysics"", in which he set up the hypothesis, that the results from his earlier investigations on the relations between the tidal frictions on the earth and the motion of the moon away from the earth, could be used to explain the formation of satellites of the other planets and their movements in relation to the sun.. (In DSB it is called ""a monumental paper"").""Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments, nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony, and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time.""(DSB).

First printing of a main paper by the ""Father of Geophysics"" in which he shows that the effect of the tides was to force a retreat of the moon from the earth - thus going backward in time in the history of the earth, he concludes that the earth had been in contact with the moon, and this represents the time at which the whirling earth threw off a portion of its outer crust by centrifugal action, loosing angular motion in that way.""Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments, nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations.

PARIS Daumont 1775 une vue d'optique en couleurs, GRAVÉE A L'EAU-FORTE ET AQUARELLÉE SUR PAPIER DE FORMAT: 48 x 29 cm., 1775 Paris Daumont Editeur,
Les vues doptiques sont un type particulier destampes populaires publiées en Europe au XVIIIe siècle. Ces estampes étaient une forme de divertissement destinée à être vue à travers des appareils appelés « machines optiques », « optiques », « zograscopes ». Ces estampes étaient exposées par des forains ambulants dans les rues de toute lEurope et étaient également collectionnées par les professionnels et les classes supérieures qui possédaient des machines optiques chez eux. Il y avait une grande curiosité pour lapparence des villes européennes non visitées et des lieux exotiques aux confins du globe, et ces estampes étaient lun des seuls moyens pour le grand public davoir un aperçu du monde. Les machines optiques utilisées pour ces gravures étaient équipées d'une lentille qui améliorait pour les spectateurs le grossissement et la perception de la profondeur tridimensionnelle des scènes représentées. Un miroir était souvent utilisé pour que les gravures en perspective puissent être vues à plat, et dans ces cas, les images étaient vues à l'envers. Il n'est donc pas rare que les scènes représentées soient dessinées à l'envers, et il y a souvent aussi un titre imprimé à l'envers en haut, permettant aux spectateurs de le lire rapidement. Il y avait généralement un texte supplémentaire au bas des gravures, souvent en plusieurs langues, qui pouvait être lu par l'opérateur de l'optique au bénéfice de son public ......... rare gravure ........... en bon état (good condition). en bon état

Summary Medieval historians who have explored the abbey of Sithiu (modern Saint-Omer) have often done so to explain the competition between the canons of Saint-Omer and the monks of Saint-Bertin, a rivalry deriving from their shared origins in the abbey of Sithiu. However, David Defries's book centers on the cooperative relationship that developed between the saints Omer and Bertin in the monks' collective memory. Throughout the early Middle Ages, the cults of the abbey's two patron saints shaped the life of the community at Sithiu, and the first four centuries of its development reveal how a group of monks negotiated their place in the larger Christian West, adapting Columbanian and Benedictine identities to fit the relationship they discerned between Omer and Bertin. The evolution of Sithiu's collective memory demonstrates that the methods used in most studies of early medieval collective memory produce a distorted image of the partnership. Historians overwhelmingly assume that collective memory has a narrative structure and that the texts meant to shape its evolution are "historiographic" in form. In contrast, David Defries treats Sithiu's historiography as a type of scriptural exegesis that emphasizes the allegorical levels, especially typology and tropology, of the Christian scriptural hermeneutic. Paradigm, not narration, structured early medieval Christian allegory and thus early medieval collective memory at the abbey. This argument has broad implications for the study of early medieval collective memory. The intellectual culture of Sithiu was typical of the early medieval West, and all the texts considered date between c. 740 and c. 1148, situating them in a period when writers trained in monasteries like Sithiu produced the vast majority of western European literature. From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin may thus be seen as a preliminary case study for the value of paradigmatic approaches to early medieval memory.

Summary 313 AD is generally considered a "turning point" in religious and political Western history. The meeting of Constantine and Licinius in Milan and the subsequent "edict" not only gave Christians the right to assemble and practice their faith, but opened the way to the Christianisation of Roman imperial structures and, finally, to the declaration of Christianity as the only religion allowed in the Roman Empire. The papers collected in this volume tackle this complex historical phase from a number of perspectives (from Church history and theology to political and juridical history), following a strongly multidisciplinary approach. The chronological schope, stretching from the decades preceding the meeting of 313 to the reign of Julian the Apostate, sheds light on the cultural, political and juridical premises of Constantine and Licinius's decisions as well as the way those premises affected a number of aspects of everyday life within the Empire up to Julian's pagan "restoration" and afterward.
