‎First edition - in the scarce offprint-issue - of this milestone paper where Minkowski was the first to conceive that the relativity principle formulated by Lorentz and Einstein led to the abandonment of the concept of space and time as separate entities and to their replacement by a fourdimensional ""space-time"", THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM. In the opening passage Minkowski declared: ""Henceforth, space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fadeaway in the shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality.""The work was simultaneously published in ""Jahresberichte der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung"". Leipzig 1909, in ""Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte"". Leipzig, 1909 (a shorter version) and as here.The paper was read 20th of September 1908 at a Conference in Cologne only a few months before his death. Here ""he introduced the notion that made possible the expansion of the Relativity Theory of Einstein from its specific to its general form. The technical description of Minkowski's hypothesis is the four-dimensional Space-time continuum.... Minkowski's space-time hypothesis was in effect a restatement of Einstein's basic principle in a form that greatly enchanced its plausability and also introduced importent new developments. Hitherto natural phenomena had been thought to occur in a space of three dimensions and to flow uniformly through time. Minkowski maintained that the separation of space and time is a false conception"" thet time is itself a dimension, comparable to lenght, breadth and height: and that therefore the true conception of reality was constituted by a space-time continuum possessing these four dimensions. This strongly reinforced Einstein's objections to absolute concepts and supported his view of the relativity of events in nature."" (PMM No. 401).‎

‎En los florilegios se reunen obras muy diferentes en su planteamiento, genero y epoca formando una obra nueva con un plan y un tratamiento unitario, de manera que los escritores de la literatura latina clasica pueden convivir con los autores cristianos y medievales, contemporaneos en algunos casos al compilador del florilegio. Ademas, en ellos se realiza una lectura particular de los textos originales y una interpretacion acorde con la finalidad buscada por el compilador, de forma que cada obra pierde sus caracteristicas individuales y los rasgos del genero en el que se escribio, al sufrir un proceso de reescritura comun. En este volumen se presentan diversas formas de encuentro y convivencia de los autores antiguos y medievales ofrecidas en los florilegios latinos, prestando especial atencion a los manuscritos conservados en Espana. Las conclusiones alcanzadas bien pueden ser de aplicacion general, puesto que entre los florilegios conservados en bibliotecas espanolas se encuentran testimonios de obras con una amplia tradicion, como el Florilegium Gallicum, al que se dedican dos colaboraciones sobre la presencia de Claudiano y de las epistolas literarias de Horacio; ademas, en otros dos capitulos se analiza la selecciones de Los Fastos de Ovidio y de las Satiras de Persio y Juvenal en el manuscrito 749-II de la Bibliotheque Municipale de Douai. Otras contribuciones analizan diversas formas de compilacion confeccionadas en tierras hispanas.‎

‎First edition of Mohr’s important work on the economy and natural history of Iceland. “In 1780, the Faeroese naturalist, Nicolai Mohr (1742-90) was sent to Iceland specifically to investigate some of Olavius’ discoveries, such as graphite in Siglufjördur in the North which, it was believed, might be of economic significance. Mohr spent two summers in Iceland and travelled around the northern and eastern parts. He later wrote a book (the present) about his travels. MPhr concentrates on the economy and natural history of Iceland, but his book is written in the form of a travelogue, and his observations on all that he saw helped to build up a picture of conditions in Iceland at the time” (Caseldine, Iceland – Modern Processes and past Environments).‎

‎First appearance of the paper in which Moissan describes his isolation and observation of the properties of fluorine gas and his succes in producing diamond with his pectacular arc method. Fo these achievements he was the first French to be awarded the Nobel Price in chemistry (1906).The existence of the element fluorine had been well known for many years, but all attempts to isolate it had failed and some experimenters had died in the attempt.""Moissan eventually succeeded in preparing fluorine in 1886 by the electrolysis of a solution of potassium hydrogen difluoride (KHF2) in liquid hydrogen fluoride (HF). The mixture was needed because hydrogen fluoride is a non-conductor. The device was built with platinum/iridium electrodes in a platinum holder and the apparatus was cooled to -50 °C. The result was to completely isolate the hydrogen produced from the negative electrode from the fluorine produced at the positive one.This is essentially still the way fluorine is produced today.""

‎First printing of the paper in which Moissan described his famous invention of the Electric Furnace and hereby laying the foundations for high-temperature chemistry. For this invention and his isolation of flourine Moissan received the Nobel Prize in 1906.""Moissan had turned his attention to the production of artificial diamonds and in the process constructed his famous electric furnace, which, although simple in design, proved to be a technological tool of the first order. The original model, which he subsequently improved, was demonstrated to the Academy of Sciences in December 1892 (the paper offered). It consisted of two blocks of lime, one laid on the other, with a hollow space in the center for a crucible, and a longitudinal groove for two carbon electrodes which produced a high-temperature electric arc. In one experiment Moissan heated iron and carbonized sugar in his electric furnace, causing the carbon to dissolve in the molten iron..... Moissan’s electric furnace provided great impetus to the development of high-temperature chemistry. With this apparatus he prepared and studied refractory oxides, silicides, borides, and carbides" he succeeded in volatilizing many metals" and, by reducing metallic oxides with carbon, he obtained such metals as manganese, chromium, uranium, tungsten, vanadium, molybdenum, titanium, and zirconium. The electrochemical and metallurgical applications to industry of Moissan’s work became immediately apparent, for example in the large-scale production of acetylene from calcium carbide.""(DSB).Moissan received the Nobel prize in Chemistry in 1906 ""in recognition of the great services rendered by him in his investigation nd isolation of the element fluorine, and for the adoption in the service of science of the electric furnace called after him"".Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1892 C.This issue also contains another notable paper by PIERRE CURIE in which he describes his invention of a quadrant electrometer that improved upon the one devised by Kelvin by adding an ingenious magnetic damper.‎
