The University Library of Trondheim is extending an invitation to a cross-disciplinary workshop in Trondheim 12- 13 May 2011, at Suhmhuset
Nature as book and image –scientific communication and exchange in 18th century Europe.
The workshop will explore central issues on the “long” 18th century history of science. Its four sessions focus on: 1) scientific networks, 2) the significance of illustrations and images in scientific communication and development, 3) Liber naturae, theology and the investigation of nature, and 4) the relationship between body and soul in 18th century philosophy and science. The workshop begins with a lecture “Laboratory enlightenment” and investigates these four topics in the following two days. The workshop commemorates the 250th anniversary of the first volume of the Transactions of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters:http://www.ntnu.no/ojs/index.php/
