    TEMA DEL DÍA LAS RAÍCES DE LA GEOLOGÍA. NICOLAS STENO, LOS ESTRATOS Y EL DILUVIO UNIVERSAL The roots of the Geology. Nicolaus Steno, the strata and the Deluge Leandro Sequeiros * RESUMEN El De Solido intra solido naturaliter contento dissertatinis prodromus, uno de los libros más importan- tes para los inicios de la geología, fue publicado en Florencia en 1669. Su autor, Niels Steensen (también conocido por su nombre latinizado de Nicolaus Steno), fue un anatomista y naturalista danés nacido en Copenhague (Dinamarca) el 11 de enero de 1638. Estudió primero medicina en su ciudad y anatomía en Holanda y París. En 1660, visitó Roma y en 1666 se había establecido en Florencia donde fue acogido por el Gran Duque de Toscana Fernando II. En Florencia, estudiando los dientes puntiagudos que formaban diversas coronas en las mandíbulas de los tiburones, se sorprendió por su gran número, y sus semejanzas con las llamadas Glossopetrae, ob- jetos de piedra traídos de Malta. Steno pensó que ellos pertenecían a partes anatómicas de animales que habían vivido en otro tiempo, y que habían podido transformarse con facilidad mediante procesos quími- cos que no habían afectado a la forma. Los resultados llevaron a Steno a extender sus hipótesis a amplios estudios sobre las conchas de los moluscos antiguos, de los que describe su estructura y su origen orgáni- co, llegando a conclusiones muy cercanas a las aceptadas hoy día. ABSTRACT The De Solido intra solido naturaliter contento dissertationis prodromus, one of the most important bo- ok in the beginning of geology, was published at Florence in 1669.

  • The Geohistorical Time Arrow: from Steno's Stratigraphic Principles To
    JOURNAL OF GEOSCIENCE EDUCATION 62, 691–700 (2014) The Geohistorical Time Arrow: From Steno’s Stratigraphic Principles to Boltzmann’s Past Hypothesis Gadi Kravitz1,a ABSTRACT Geologists have always embraced the time arrow in order to reconstruct the past geology of Earth, thus turning geology into a historical science. The covert assumption regarding the direction of time from past to present appears in Nicolas Steno’s principles of stratigraphy. The intuitive–metaphysical nature of Steno’s assumption was based on a biblical narrative; therefore, he never attempted to justify it in any way. In this article, I intend to show that contrary to Steno’s principles, the theoretical status of modern geohistory is much better from a scientific point of view. The uniformity principle enables modern geohistory to establish the time arrow on the basis of the second law of thermodynamics, i.e., on a physical law, on the one hand, and on a historical law, on the other. In other words, we can say that modern actualism is based on the uniformity principle. This principle is essentially based on the principle of causality, which in turn obtains its justification from the second law of thermodynamics. I will argue that despite this advantage, the shadow that metaphysics has cast on geohistory has not disappeared completely, since the thermodynamic time arrow is based on a metaphysical assumption—Boltzmann’s past hypothesis. All professors engaged in geological education should know these philosophical–theoretical arguments and include them in the curriculum of studies dealing with the basic assumptions of geoscience in general and the uniformity principle and deep time in particular.

Special Editors for volume 8: Giovanni Iamartino and Irma Taavitsainen. © 2019 Jan Kochanowski University Press. Token: A Journal of English Linguistics 8, 2019 Italy and the Royal Society: Medical papers in the early Philosophical Transactions Lucia Berti University of Milan ABSTRACT During the first years of the Royal Society’s existence, a whole network of natural philosophical exchanges was set up between the Fellows and foreign gentlemen interested in the study of nature. From the exchanges with Italy, medicine appears to be one of the major topics of interest; and a series of medical papers based on Italian researches appear in the Society’s journal, the Philosophical Transactions (PT). This article is a linguistic and socio-historical analysis of 25 medical papers published in the PT in the first fifty years of its existence. The selected articles were either translations of Italian writings or reports of Italian research. The purpose of the study is: (1) to illustrate from a linguistic and socio-cultural point of view the nature of Italian medical contributions to the early PT; and (2) to investigate Anglo-Italian relations through the Royal Society’s medical interaction with Italians by analysing the PT articles and further contextual resources from a critical perspective. Keywords: Anglo-Italian relations, medical writing, Philosophical Transactions, Royal Society, seventeenth century. And your own intelligence will spur you on, without the urging of others, to inform yourself about these matters; in the same way you will be led, without doubt, to encourage all the keen minds of Italy to employ their talents in advancing the sciences and the arts by observations and experiments faithfully and diligently performed.

  • Building Saint and Bio. Science 'S' Block Blessed Nicolas Steno
    Building Saint and bio. Science Blessed Nicolas Steno (Niels Stenson) (1638-1686) was a convert to ‘S’ block Catholicism, a bishop, a pioneer in anatomy and geology, and the father of palaeontology because he discovered what fossils were. His laws of stratigraphy are still in use. And he managed all this before dying at the age of 48! Saint Servulus of Rome Saint Servulus was a perfect model of submission to the divine Will; it would be difficult to offer a more consoling example to persons afflicted by poverty, illnesses and the other miseries of life. He was deprived of all the goods of this world; a long illness had reduced him to a pitiful state. From his youth he was paralyzed in all his limbs. Not only could he not stand up, but he was unable to rise from his bed; he could neither sit down nor turn himself from one side to the other, nor bring his hand to his mouth. This unfortunate man, who had learned the mysteries of religion, meditated unceasingly on the sufferings of the Saviour, and never did he complain. He was surrounded by the loving care of his mother and brother. Neither the mother nor the children had ever studied, yet he had pious books bought for himself, in particular the Psalms and the Holy Gospels, and he would ask the religious who came to visit him on his cot to read from them to him. In this way he learned these books by heart; he spent days and part of the nights in singing or reciting them, and meditating them, and he constantly thanked the Lord for having taken him to be a victim associated with the pains and sufferings of Jesus Christ.

  • "The Business Solution to the Problem of Climate Change"
    SPEECH/09/258 José Manuel Durão Barroso President of the European Commission "The business solution to the problem of climate change" World Business Summit on Climate Change Copenhagen, 25 May 2009 Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, Let me start by thanking the organisers, especially Tim Flannery and Erik Rasmussen, for inviting me to speak to you today. [I'd also like to thank Anders Eldrup for his very kind introduction.] Business input is going to be very important to the success of the other climate change conference in Copenhagen in December, so I very much welcome this timely initiative to hold a World Business Summit. If you allow me, I'd like to take you back to Copenhagen in the 17th century. From the beginning of recorded history, humans wondered why seashells and shark teeth could be found at the top of mountains. For many, the explanation was obvious, and could be found in the Bible: the maritime remains were left behind by Noah's Flood! It took a young Danish scientist, Nicolas Steno – or Niels Stensen, to give him his original name – to discover that the teeth and shells were in fact fossils, deposited millions of years ago when the land was beneath the sea. He realised that the layers of rock in which the fossils were embedded told the story of Earth. And that story was a violent and ever-changing one. He didn't know it at the time, but his work would unlock the door to a great deal of what we know today about plate tectonics, dinosaurs, geology and, of course, climate change.

  • Niels Stensen: a 17Th Century Scientist with a Modern View of Brain Organization André Parent
    HISTORICAL REVIEW Niels Stensen: A 17th Century Scientist with a Modern View of Brain Organization André Parent ABSTRACT: In 1665 the Danish scholar Niels Stensen (1638-1686) reached Paris, where he pronounced a discourse on brain anatomy that was to orient neuroscientists for years to come. In his lecture, Stensen rejected ancient speculations about animal spirits and criticized René Descartes and his followers who, despite a poor knowledge of brain anatomy, elaborated complex models to explain the multifaceted function of what he considered the principal organ of the human mind. He advocated the need for studying the brain through a comparative, developmental and pathological convergent approach and called for appropriate dissection methods and accurate illustrations. His own careful anatomical studies permitted him to precisely depict many brain structures. After pioneering works in paleontology and geology, he devoted himself to theology. In 1677 Stensen converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism and, while working relentlessly as a bishop and apostolic vicar in Northern Europe, he died in self-imposed poverty at age 48. RÉSUMÉ: L’organisation anatomique et fonctionnelle du cerveau selon Sténon. En 1665, le savant Danois Nicolas Sténon (1638-1686) arrive à Paris où il prononce un remarquable discours sur l’anatomie du cerveau. Dans cette allocution, il dénonce d’abord l’ancienne théorie des esprits animaux pour ensuite critiquer vertement les philosophes comme Descartes qui, malgré une piètre connaissance de l’anatomie du cerveau, développent des modèles complexes pour expliquer le fonctionnement de ce qu’il considère être l’organe suprême. Il souligne l’importance d’utiliser une approche multidisciplinaire, impliquant l’anatomie comparée, l’embryologie et la pathologie et insiste sur la nécessité de méthodes de dissection et d’illustration adéquates.

    Int. J. Morphol., 31(4):1491-1497, 2013. Niels Stensen and the Discovery of the Parotid Duct Niels Stensen y el Descubrimiento del Conducto Parotídeo Goran Strkalj* STRKALJ, G. Niels Stensen and the discovery of the parotid duct. Int. J. Morphol., 31(4):1491-1497, 2013. SUMMARY: Niels Stensen was a renowned Danish scientist, theologian and Catholic bishop. Stensen’s early career was devoted to anatomy and it is in this discipline that he made many important contributions. His method in anatomy was rooted in systematic observations based on meticulously executed dissections of human and animal cadavers, as well as experiments on animals. His first important discovery in the field of anatomy, which is the main focus of this paper, was the discovery of the parotid duct. The discovery brought Stensen recognition and fame but only after a controversy in which he was accused of plagiarism by his mentor Gerard Blaes. Although still in an early stage of his career Stensen dealt with the accusation masterfully, producing further research which confirmed him as the discoverer of the parotid duct. KEY WORDS: Niels Stensen; History of anatomy; Parotid duct; Scientific discovery. INTRODUCTION The year 2013 marks the 375th anniversary of the birth of the renowned Danish scholar Niels Stensen (Fig. 1). He is remembered for his contribution to science, theology and as a Catholic bishop who was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1988. Stensen’s remarkable scientific opus includes seminal contributions to anatomy and geology. In anatomy he made several important discoveries, described previously unknown structures and elucidated their function.

  • Dutch Anatomy and Clinical Medicine in 17Th-Century Europe by Rina Knoeff
    Dutch Anatomy and Clinical Medicine in 17th-Century Europe by Rina Knoeff The Leiden University medical faculty was famous in 17th-century Europe. Students came from all over Europe to sit at the feet of the well-known medical teachers Peter Paauw, Jan van Horne and Franciscus dele Boë Sylvius. Not only the lecture hall, but also the anatomical theatre as well as the hospital were important sites for medical instruction. The Dutch hands-on approach was unique and served as an example for the teaching courses of many early modern cen- tres of medical education. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

The town of Leiden was an attractive place for students – it had excellent facilities for extracurricular activities such as theatre visits, pub crawls, horse riding and boating. The English student Thomas Nu- gent stated that Ÿ1 They [the students] wear no gowns, but swords and if they are matriculated they enjoy a great many privi- leges.

  • Printing Natural Knowledge
    Chapter 3: Printing Natural Knowledge “The purpose of writing may be to persuade the wise and intelligent; or else it may be to persuade everyone in town.” So wrote Giovanni Alfonso Borelli, pro- fessor at the university of Pisa and already the author of an important work on Euclid, to his ex-colleague Marcello Malpighi, just starting out on the faculty at the university of Bologna and about to publish his fundamental work revealing the microstructure of the lungs. Deciding what to publish, and for whom, was no easy matter, still some thirty years after the twin trials of Orazio Morandi and Galileo Galilei. “But if you choose to write to the common citizens of Bo- logna to persuade them about the calumnies made against truth,” Borelli con- tinued, “I conceive that in this case you may use every effort to deride any per- son who peddles a pile of idiocies just to offend virtuous and meritorious people.” 1 Of course, for Borelli, “virtuous and meritorious people” meant per- sons who followed empirical method for the study of nature, exemplified by Galileo; and “truth” meant the truth drawn from the use of that method. “Idio- cies” meant ideas conceived by those whom the Galileians conceived as dogma- tists and mystifiers. Still in the 1660s, whether Galileo’s disciples and their followers would triumph against the dogmatists and mystifiers was by no means clear. The story of their campaign to capture public attention, with all its fits and starts, is far less well known than the content of their ideas. It will occupy us here.
