[Systematic study of natural artifacts. On the program of the Academia Naturae Curiosorum of 1652 and its early history].

Abstract

By means of indications this paper stresses the importance of the founder's father of the Academia Naturae Curiosorum, Leonhard Bausch, for the academy founded 16 years after his death. The long array of the monographs of predecessors, listed by Philipp Jacob Sachs von Lewenhaimb, whereof nearly the half of it belonged to father and son Bausch's library, allows an instructive insight into the 150-years-old tradition of the elaboration of medical-philosophical monographs. Finally the young Leopoldina raised this tradition to its program. The following bibliography contains all monographs edited in this program.
