‎Scarce first edition of Wiegleb's most importent work and one of the most importent historical criticism of the alchymistic theories of transmutations. ""Wiegleb’s critical attitude in assessing scientific questions earned him high esteem in learned circles. After several years of work he published Historisch-kritische Untersuchung der Alchemie (1777), which went through a second edition. In this work he stated: ""The best accounts from the period when the name alchemy is encountered, . . . are examined, and it is thereby demonstrated that they are, taken together, incapable of confirming the reality of alchemy. Then, the strongest proof is adduced to show that the entire imaginary art of alchemy is impossible according to all known, certain natural laws of human art: thus [it is shown] that it has never truly been practiced by anyone."" Wiegleb carefully examined famous reports of the transformation of metals and pointed out their deficiencies: in a short time his work became widely known. His motto was ""To doubt is the beginning of knowledge,"" so it is all the more as tonishing that Wiegleb was a convinced proponent of Stal’s phlogiston theory throughout his life.""

‎First printing of this importent paper in the development of the atomic theory.The cause of the Brownian movement was ascribed by C.

‎First appearance of Wien's importent paper in which he shows that the cathode rays are particles, that their velocity is about a third to that of light and he establish the ratio between the mass and the charge.In the paper are ""described the experiments by which Wien determined the properties of the canal rays. The firstpart of the paper conatins a description of observations on the cathode rays, made with a Lenard Tube, in which the cathode rays passed through an aluminium window into an extension of the tube where as high a rarefaction as possible was maintained. The magnetic and electrostatic deflexions of a narrow cathode stream were observed and Wien concludes that it is proved by his investigation that the cathode rays which pass through the windoww carry with them strong negative charges.""(Magie ""Souce Book in Physics"", p. 597 ff.).Wien was awarded the 1911 Nobel Prize for physics for his discoveries regarding laws governing the radiation of heat.‎

‎The fascinating history of gemstones in art and jewellery Gemstones have always been, since time immemorial, heavily charged with meaning and have even been regarded as magical objects. For that reason they have also been an art medium since the early modern age and have shaped as art symbols - in the form of the crystal - both Romanticism and Modernism, for example in the works of Caspar David Friedrich, Lyonel Feininger and many more. In the latter half of the twentieth century, not only have such artists as Bernd Munsteiner, Ute Eitzenhofer and Bernhard Schobinger rediscovered the gemstone; through the Hochschule fur Edelstein und Schmuck Trier/Idar-Oberstein and other similar specialist institutions it is also undergoing a revival in today's art production - right up to Damien Hirst.

‎Sybolae Facultatis Litterarum Lovaniensis - Series B : 21. De humanist Erasmus heeft zich ingezet voor een verniewd en eigentijds christendom, gebaseerd op de kritische studie van de bronteksten. Daarmee heeft hij de aanzet gegeven tot de studie van Oosterse talen aan de Leuvense universiteit, wat uiteindelijk leidde tot de oprichting van het Instituut voor de Orientalistiek in 1936. De studie van het Hebreews baande de weg naar de studie van andere taal- en schrijfsystemen en het onderzoek rond het Christelijke Oosten leidde tot de ontdekking van culturen uit het Verre Oosten. De universiteit van Leuven heeft zich internationaal onderscheiden zowel in de studie van het boeddhisme als, meer recent, in de japanologie. De tentoonstelling Orientalia. Oosterse studies en bibliotheken te Leuven en Louvain-la-Neuve schetst de grote lijnen van dit wetenschappelijk avontuur en toont onbekende schatten uit de bibliotheken van de K.U.Leuven en de UCL in Louvain-la-Neuve. Het Leuvense onderzoek en onderwijs op het gebied van Oosterse talen en culturen heeft aanleiding gegeven tot belangrijke schenkingen. Ondanks de bewogen geschiedenis van de Leuvense Universiteitsbibliotheek, bezitten beide universiteiten op dit moment bijzonder mooie en waardevolle Oosterse collecties. De belangrijkste is zonder twijfel de uitzonderlijke Japanse collectie, die een beeld biedt van de Japanse cultuur en die geschonken werd na de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Deze catalogus is beschikbaar in een Nederlandstalige en een Franstalige versie. ‎
