In the seventeenth century, a series of proposals and schemes for an artificial language intended to replace Latin as the international medium of communication gained currency, supported by many eminent scientists of the day.

Book Description Black Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine (-). 1st ed. x+277; a near pristine copy, jacket spine faded but this barely noticeable as it has faded back from a dark brown to a light brown which matches that used on front cover borders (will add protective sleeve to jacket when ordered). An interesting and wide-ranging study of the linguistic aspects of the Scientific Revolution, especially in England, focussing on projects such as Wilkins' to create a universal language and the relationship of this to educational ideas of e.g. Comenius and Ray's pioneering taxonomical efforts in natural science - in fact everyone from Bacon to Locke and Boyle gets a look-in somewhere. . Note: quoted shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range. Size: 16 Cms x 23.5 Cms. Seller Inventory # 008977
