(1810)
Ueber die Verbindungen gasförmiger Körper eines mit dem andern. Frei übersetzt von Gilbert. (+) Ueber den salpetersauren Dampf und über das Salpetergas als eudiometrisches Mittel. Frei übersetzt von Gilbert. (2 papers).
Halle, Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1810. Without wrappers as published in ""Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert"", Bd. 36, Neuntes Stück. The entire issue offered (=Heft 9). Titlepage to vol. 36. Pp. 1-112. a. 2 engraved plates. Gay-Lussac's papers: pp. 6-36 a. pp. 37-51.
First German edition of this classic paper in chemistry in which he states the law, that when two gases combine chemically, they do so that the volumes are in the ratio of whole small numbers.""In 1805, with Alexander von Humboldt he observed the already known fact that hydrogen and oxygen combines in the ratio of 2 to 1 by volume. Stimulated by this work he studied the reactions of other gases to see whether there were other simple relationshipas, and in 1808 he announced the la of combining volumes, which is now known as GAY-LUSSAC'S LAW, This generalization, obviously connected with some fundamental property of matter, was in part responsible for Avogadro's hypothesis.""(Leicester & Klickstein).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1809 C. - Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"" pp. 292 ff.
IMITATION AND ILLUSION, Applied Brocade in the Art of the Low Countries in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries
, Brepols Publishers, 2011 hard cover, 660 p., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782930054117.
In the late Middle Ages luxurious textiles were among the most highly prized indicators of status and wealth and an essential requirement of prestigious secular and ecclesiastical life. The depiction of these sumptuous silks and gold brocades was a crucial element in the visual arts, and their realistic and recognizable representation was a challenge to every artist. Painters and polychromers strove to imitate the fashionable fabrics by using applied brocade, a highly sophisticated form of relief decoration that adhered to panel paintings, murals and sculpture and through the play of light and shadow evoked the dazzling illusion of gold-brocaded cloths. Imitation and Illusion is the result of a detailed study of applied brocade in the art of the Low Countries. Eleven fascinating and innovative chapters offer an in-depth examination of the historical, geographical, morphological and technical aspects of this cast tin relief technique. New light is also shed on artistic collaboration and workshop practice in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The catalogue includes 86 well known and lesser known panel and wall paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and architectural elements produced between 1420 and 1540, decorated with applied brocade and providing stunning testimony to the visual variety and material magnificence of late-medieval art. Abundantly illustrated, Imitation and Illusion investigates the artistic production of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Low Countries from an intriguing and original perspective. It represents a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval polychromy and will appeal to everyone whose curiosity is aroused by the illusionistic ingenuity of the medieval artist.
