About This Item

MODENA: PRESSO LA SOCIETA TIPOGRAFICA, 1776. Edizione originale del 1776 di questa importante opera scientifica del biologo italiano Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799), il “Padre scientifico” della fecondazione artificiale. Spallanzani confutò la teoria della generazione spontanea con un esperimento poi perfezionato da Louis Pasteur. In quest'opera raccoglie alcune teorie sulla fecondazione. Lettere del filosofo naturalista Charles Bonnet (1720-1793). "Il trattato principale nel secondo volume degli Opuscoli confermò ed estese le osservazioni di Leeuwenhoek sugli spermatozoi (iniziato nel 1677) e confutò i concetti sbagliati di Buffon sulla natura e origine della natura... Gli altri tre opuscoli sono di minore importanza. Il primo riguarda osservazioni ed esperienze intorno agli animali e vegetali chiusi nell'aria, il secondo su alcuni prodigiosi animali che in balia dell'osservatore il farli tornare da morte a vita',...e il terzo sulle muffe]" (DSB).

First edition of 1776 of this important scientiphic work by the italian biologist Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729-1799), the “scientiphic Father” of artificial fecondation. Spallanzani refuted the theory of spontaneous fecondation with an experiment then perfetioned by Louis Pasteur. He collected some of his theories about fecondation in this work. Letters by naturalist phylosopher Charles Bonnet (1720-1793). The main treatise in the second volume of the Opuscoli confirmed and extended Leeuwenhoek's observations on spermatozoa (which began in 1677) and refuted Buffon's erroneous concepts of their nature and origin... The remaining three tracts were of lesser significance. The first concerned the effects of stagnant air upon animals and vegetables,...[the second] concerned animalcules that 'enjoy the advantages of real resurrection after death',...[and the third was on mold]" (DSB, from a long account of this book). Prandi, Bibliografia, pp. 36-37. Graesse,VI, p. 457 - Razzolini-Bacchi della Lega, p. 322 - Pritzel,8811 - Garrison-Morton,239: "Later confutation of the theory of spontaneous generation. Spallanzani's conclusions were similar to those expressed by Pasteur nearly a century later".
