‎First appearance of this groundbreaking, classic paper in which Lothar Meyer first fully expressed his ideas of the relationsships between the atomic weight of the elements and their properties. In his ""Curve"" he plots the atomic volumes of the chemical elements against their weights and connects the points to obtain a curve with proonounced peaks and valleys. The periodicity in atomic volume and electrochemical behaviour revealed by this curve is matched by periodicities in other properties, such as fusibility and volatility etc.The ""Periodic Law"" may be stated in the words: The properties of the Elements are a periodic function of (or vary in a periodic manner with) the atomic weight. (Findlay).Lothar Meyer and Dimitri Mendeleev independently discovered the periodic system, but ""Meyer did not publish this work until after the appearance of Mendeleev's first paper on the subject in 1869. His table was very similar to that of Mendeleev, but it contained some improvements and was, perhaps, influential in causing some of the revisions made by Mendeleev in the second version of his table, published in 1870. In general, Meyer was more impressed by the periodicity of the physical properties of the elements, while Medeleev saw more clearly the chemical consequences of the periodic law.""(Source Book in Chemistry, p. 434). - Weeks p. 207 ff.‎

‎Scarce first edition of this importent work which is a large extension of Meyer's classic paper of 1870, in which he independently of Mendeleev, discovered that the properties of the elements are a periodic function of (or vary in a periodic manner with) the atomic weight - the Periodic Table.""The significance of atomic weights in the demonstration of chemical periodicity, and the suspicion that some atomic weights were not accurate, led Meyer and Seubert to examine critically and to recalculate all atomic weights then considered importent. Their study was published in 1883 (the work offered). All atomic weights were referred to the standard of unity for the atomic weight of hydrogen, a standard that Meyer championed.....In 1903 the newly created International Commission of Atomic Weeights decided to publish parallel tables based on H=1 and O=16, a practice followed for many years.""(DSB IX, pp. 351-352).‎

‎Spoken and Written Language Relations between Latin and the Vernacular Languages in the Earlier Middle Ages<br>‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2013 Hardcover. XII 364 p., 8 b/w ill. 4 colour ill., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, German, French, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503507705.‎

‎The linguistic situation of medieval Europe has sometimes been characterized as one of diglossia: one learned language, Latin, was used for religion, law, and documents, while the various vernaculars were used in other linguistic registers. Informing the relationship between Latin and the vernaculars was the choice of Latin as the language of the Western Roman Empire and the Roman Church. This choice entailed the possibility of a shared literary culture and heritage across Europe, but also had consequences for access to that heritage. Scholarship on the Romance languages has contested the relevance of the term diglossia, and the divergence between written or spoken Latin and Romance is a subject of energetic debate. In other linguistic areas, too, questions have been voiced. How can one characterize the interaction between Latin and the various vernaculars, and between the various vernaculars themselves? To what extent could speakers from separate linguistic worlds communicate? These questions are fundamental for anyone concerned with communication, the transmission of learning, literary history, and cultural interaction in the Middle Ages. This volume contains contributions by historians, cultural historians, and students of texts, language, and linguistics, addressing the subject from their various perspectives but at the same time trying to overcome familiar disciplinary divisions.‎

‎The rare first edition of the founding work of Niebuhr's Arabia-expedition, which would gain world-wide fame and establish the scientific description of the Arabian peninsula. The present work consists in 100 questions, the answers to which constitute the purpose of the Royal Danish Arabia Expedition. In fact, the present work is the handbook of Niebuhr's travel to Arabia Felix, as its author is the spiritual father of it. The work is extraordinary in many ways, and it not only served as the basis for the Arabia-expedition, it also constitutes a forerunner of modern bible science that would begin to emerge a few decades later. Johann Davis Michaelis (1717-19) was a theologian and orientalist, whose fame today rests upon the present work and upon the fact that he was responsible for the first scientific expedition to Arabia Felix, namely that of Niebuhr. In 1753, he had come up with the idea for the the Royal Danish Arabia Expedition (1761-1767) and had gotten the Danish minister Bernstoff to agree to it. In 1760, when the expedition was becoming a reality, Michaelis recommended Niebuhr as a participant, and he outlined the entire purpose of the trip - namaly the list of 100 questions that he prepared and published for the members of the expedition, in order for them to answer in the course of the voyage. For all intents and purposes, Michaelis was the spiritual father of the Arabia-expedition. As a theologian and an orientalist, many of Michaelis' questions have root in the Bible. But unlike many other theolgians of the time, Michaelis sought to shed light over biblical themes through sources outside of the Bible - especially from the Middle East, not least Arabia. In this regard, his 100 Questions also came to be a precursor to the emergence of modern bible science.Although the expedition would have never taken place had it not been for Michaelis and his 100 questions - many of which are also purely naturalistic - he could not quite have foreseen the scientific outcome of the expedition. He had not foreseen that Niebuhr would become the founder of the scientific description of the Arabian peninsula and that Niebuhr's notes would become the basis for the first decipherment of Mesopotamian and Persian cuneiform. On the contrary, he was probably quite disappointed that his questions were not all answered as thoroughly as the had anticipated. Adding to that, Niebuhr's answer to the questions ""only"" takes up six pages in the preface to ""Description of Arabia"", although the text itself contains many detailed explanations and answers to Michaelis' questions.‎

‎First appearance of this classic paper which announced one of the most celebrated experiments in the history of physics and eventually led Einstein to his Relativity Theory.The experiment was expected to show the rate of the earth's movement through the ether"" they looked in vain for a difference between the speed of light in the direction of the earth's motion around the sun and the direction perpendicular to it. The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existance of the universal ether which had been a basic principleof, for example, the Newtonian theories of the universe. (Vide PMM: 378, 401, 408).The paper appeared first in the ""American Journal of Science"" in November (as offered here), and was published a month later in ""Philosophical Magazine"" in a slightly modified form.""Michelson, trained at the U.S. Naval Academy, and Morley, minister turned chemist, began a series of experiments to determine the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light, effects of extremely minute values. They used a slightly silvered glass set angular to a ray of sunlight so that a part ofthe ray was transmitted, a part reflected out and again returned, thereby providing two paths, one perpendicular to the other. If drift existed, the superimposed rays would produce interference. None was observed, showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed. The negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry.""(Dibner)In 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both, Einstein said in a speech ""You (Michelson) uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light, as it existed, and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald, out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation..."" In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: ""It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity...On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case, Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable.""Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize ""for his optical precision instrument (the inteferometer) and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on.""Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 (lising the later version from ""Philosophical Magazine"") - Norman 1505.- Magee ""A Source Book in Physics"", pp. 369 ff. (the later paper).The volume contains another paper by Michelson and Morley ""On a method of Making the Wave-lenght of Sodium Light the actual and practical Standard of Lenght"", pp. 427-430.‎

‎Old English Life of Saint Pantaleon. Old English text with introduction, translation and Latin version‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 160 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 5 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Old English, Latin. ISBN 9782503609256.‎

‎Summary The Old English Life of Saint Pantaleon survives in one eleventh century manuscript: it appears here for the first time in an easily available edition. This edition is based both on independent research and on the work of previous scholars. It is a challenging text, from a much-damaged manuscript, but well worth reading: it is interesting both from a linguistic point of view, as a testimony of late Anglo-Saxon language, and also as a sign of continental influence on Anglo-Saxon culture and of a change in literary taste in England on the eve of the Norman Conquest. It is preceded by a full introduction dealing with the history of the text, from Greece to Western Europe and the context of its translation into Old English. The text is accompanied by copious notes dealing with difficult passages and it is made more accessible by a Modern English translation. The edition is completed by a 12th century Latin version which seems to be the closer to its Old English counterpart. The edition is completed by an Anglo-Saxon glossary.
