3 Introduction
Elsevier has a long history of scientific publishing
The Publishing House of Elzevir was first established in 1580 by Lowys (Louis) Elzevir
Keeping to the tradition of publishing established by Lowys Elzevir, Jacobus George Robbers established the modern Elsevier Company in 1880
Among those authors who published with Elsevier are, Galileo, Erasmus, Descartes, Alexander Fleming, Julius Verne, Stephen Hawking 4 Introduction
In 1638 Elzevir published Galileo Galilei’s greatest work
Galileo published his “Discorsi e dimostrazioni matematiche, intoro a due nuoue scienze“ - his last work – with Elzevir despite being banned by the Inquisition and is recognized as the first important work of modern physics
The publication of “Gray’s Anatomy” in 1858 was a landmark for the study of the human anatomy and in many ways for the whole of medicine
The publication of the book, edited by Sir Alexander Fleming, about a revolutionary new antibiotic, “Penicillin: Its Practical Application”in 1946
