Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. During the early modern period, the emergence of what ultimately became modern science took place mainly in Latin, the international language of educated discourse of the era. Hundreds of thousands of scientific texts were published in Latin from the invention of print around 1450 to the demise of Latin as a language of science around 1850. Despite its importance, our knowledge of this literature is extremely limited. This book aims to providean overview of this area, the first ever to be written. It does so, not from the perspective of a natural scientist or a historian of science, but of a literary scholar. Instead of the scientificcontent or methodology of the respective works, it focusses on the genres of scientific literature and their communicative functions. Latin Scientific Literature, 1450-1850 falls into two main parts. The first part ('Contexts') introduces four aspects of early modern intellectual culture which are crucial for an understanding of the scientific literature of the time: the development of science, the role of Latin, the concept of literature, and the rise of print.Part two ('Texts'), offers an overview of Neo-Latin scientific literature. Subsumed under five communicative functions - disclosing sources, presenting facts, arguing for certain positions, summarizingknowledge, and publicizing science - twenty pertinent genres are discussed. During the early modern period, the emergence of modern science took place mainly in Latin, the international language of educated discourse. However, the Latin literature in which most new insights were presented at that time has never been studied as a whole and in its own right. This book provides the first overview of this vast body of texts. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780198866053
