Zustand: as new. Amsterdam : APA-Holland University Press , 2002. Paperback. 304 pp. 24 cm. French & English text. (Tirage à part de Lias : sources and documents relating to the early modern history of ideas, 28). - This critical edition presents 122 annotated letters exchanged between the Dutch naturalist Petrus Camper (1722-1789) and his son Adriaan-Gilles Camper (1759-1820) between 1785 and 1787. During this period, Adriaan-Gilles resided in Paris to advance his scientific education, while Petrus Camper continued his research in Friesland. Petrus Camper was a physician, anatomist, physiologist, naturalist, zoologist, palaeontologist, and anthropologist. He was one of the most important Dutch scholars of the eighteenth century. His research into comparative anatomy, the anatomy of apes and other animals, fossils, and the human skull made him internationally renowned. The French-language correspondence with his son illuminates the circulation of scientific knowledge between the Dutch Republic and France within the intellectual culture of the Enlightenment. The letters concern anatomy, zoology, geology, mineralogy, and related fields, reflecting the emphasis on empirical observation, comparative inquiry, rational investigation, and the systematic study of nature. Particularly revealing are the Campers' efforts to establish scientific contacts with the famous French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, demonstrating the importance of correspondence, reputation, and patronage in eighteenth-century science. By publishing these letters with scholarly annotations, Bots and Visser reveal the social infrastructure underlying Enlightenment knowledge production and European intellectual exchange.
