Science

Heirs to the observations and learning of Antiquity, the sciences developed out of the desire to understand the laws of nature and the workings of the world. In the Renaissance, experimentation and the great discoveries profoundly renewed established knowledge. The 17th and 18th centuries saw the scientific method assert itself, championed by numerous scholars and academies. Early scientific books thus bear witness to the advances, debates and intellectual revolutions that founded modern science.
