‎First appearance of these milestone papers in the histroy of electricity in which Dufay explains his discovery of two kinds of electricity and the relation between them, attraction and repulsion, shocks and sparking, and the full recognition of electrostatic repulsion. He formulates the two-fluid theory of electricity. He further showed that ""not all bodies can become electrified themselves"" (by friction) and went on to show, ""that they can all acquire a considerable (electrical) virtue when the tube (of rubbed) glass), wood, metals or liquids are brought near them,"", provided only that they are insulated by beiing stood on ""a support of glass or of sealing-wax"".Dufay ""TRANSFORMED A COLLECTION OF MISCELLANEOUS WEEDS INTO THE FIRST GARDEN OF EUROPE"" (Heilbron)""Dufay's substantive discoveries - ACR, the two electricities, shocks and sparking - are but one aspect, and perhaps not the most significant, of his achievement. His insistence on the impiortence of the subject, on the universal character of electricity, on the necessity of organizing, digesting and regulariizing known facts before grasping new ones, all helped to introduce order and professionel standards into the study of electricity at precisely the moment when the accumulation of data began to require them. He foundthe subject a record of often capricious, disconnected phenomena, the domain of the polymaths, textbook writers, and prfesional lecturers, and left a body of knowledge that invited and rewarded prolonged scrutinity from serious physicists.""

‎Cet ouvrage traite des vertus curatives du café, du thé et du chocolat et sur la manière de les préparer. La partie sur le chocolat est une traduction de l’espagnol par le médecin parisien René Moreau (1587-1656) d’une relation de Antoine Colmenero de Ledesma. Philippe Sylvestre Dufour, né à Manosque en 1622 et mort à Vevey (Canton de Vaud) vers 1687 est un apothicaire, banquier, collectionneur et auteur protestant installé à Lyon. Il s'exila à Genève lorsque l'exercice des professions médicales fut interdit aux Protestants. Il fut l'un des plus riches apothicaires lyonnais par la fortune héritée de sa famille et par son commerce lucratif de drogues en provenance d'Orient. Il se constitua un cabinet de curiosités, l'un des plus fournis de la ville.Réf. Biblio.: Vicaire, Bibliographie gastronomique, 293. Bitting, p. 134. Oberlé, 733. Haag IV, 377-378.

‎GIOTTO TO DURER. EARLY RENAISSANCE PAINTING IN THE NATIONAL GALLERY,‎

‎London, Yale University Press/ National Gallery Publications, 1991 Illustrated cardboard cover in colour, 240 x 280mm., 408pp., profoundly illustrated in colour and b/w. . ISBN 0300050828.‎

‎This book provides a survey of European painting between 1260 and 1510, in both northern and southern Europe, based largely on the National Gallery collection, and is at the same time a guide to the paintings in the Gallery. It is published to coincide with the opening of the Sainsbury Wing in which the Early Renaissance collection will be exhibited. The authors explain the background of religious belief and devotional practice for which many of the paintings were created, and the secular requirements and ambitions which influenced them. They discuss the social context in which art was created and then displayed in the street, the palace or the church; and consider the role of the patron and the dealer. They describe the artist's workshop, consider the role of apprentices and assistance, discuss the influence of guilds and courts and explore the reasons for the introduction of new subjects and techniques and also the survival of traditions. The book goes on to supply an account of the materials and techniques of the early Renaissance artist. Good condition.‎
