ERUDITORUM EXAMINI SUBMITTIT PETRUS JOANNES VAN KERCKHOFF Roterodamensis, AD DIEM XXV NOVEMBRIS, MDCCCXLIII [1843] , HORA II. ROTERODAMI. EX TYPOGRAPHEO MENSING & VAN WESTREENEN. [1843].

Impresso em latim sobre papel encorpado. Ilustrado com quadros de dados das experiências efectuadas. Petrus Johannes van Kerckhoff (1813-1876), químico holandês, futuro professor emérito reconhecido pelas Universidades de Utrecht e de Groningen, apresenta aqui a sua tese em bioquímica. Obra muito rara escrita em latim, tal como era uso nas provas académicas da época, da qual existem só mais 7 exemplares referenciados. Trata-se da investigação da estrutura química dos fios das barbas de baleia. O autor, através de várias decomposições químicas (em álcool, éter, ácido acético, ácido sulfúrico, etc.) e com a análise dos resultados efectuada num microscópio (com potência de 233 x), consegue verificar, através da luminescência, a existência de ácidos nucleicos próprios da baleia, por comparação com a estrutura de outras matérias vegetais. Trata-se de um passo científico para o conhecimento do ADN no início do século XX. [EN] In 4º (21x14 cm) with [8], 83, 4 pp. Binding: Contemporary artistic full red morocco. Gilt tools on the boards? frames. Gilt edges. Printed in Latin on thick paper. Illustrated with tables with the data of the performed experiences. Petrus Johannes van Kerckhoff (1813-1876), Dutch chemist, later professor emeritus recognised by the Utrecht and Groningen Universities, presents here his thesis in biochemistry. A very rare work, written in Latin, as it was usual in the academic examinations at the time. There are only 7 copies referenced of this work. The theme is the investigation of the chemical structure of the baleen hair strands. The author, through several chemical decompositions (in alcohol, ether, acetic acid, sulphuric acid, etc.) and analysing the results under the microscope (with a 233x zoom), manages to verify, by means of luminescence, the existence of nucleic acids proper to the whale, by comparison with the structure of other vegetal matters. This is a scientific step towards the knowledge of DNA at the beginning of the 20th century. Language: Latim / Latin Location/localizacao: M-11-C-2.…
