Text of Note

"The history of the science and the history of the book are complementary, and there has been much recent innovative research in the intersection of these lively fields. This volume is the first systematic general work to do justice to the fruits of scholarship in this area." "The twenty specially commissioned chapters, by an international cast of distinguished scholars, cover the period from the Carolingian renaissance of learning to the mid-nineteenth-century consolidation of science. They examine all aspects of the authorship, production, distribution, and reception of manuscripts, books and journals in the various sciences. An editorial introduction surveys the many profitable interactions of the history of the science with the history of books. Two afterwords highlight the relevances of this wide-ranging survey to the study of the development of scientific disciplines and to the current predicaments of scientific communication in the electronic age."--Jacket.
