cm. 17 x 24, 466 pp. Accademia toscana di scienze e lettere ?La Colombaria? - Serie Studi L?opera, pubblicata postuma e incompleta nel terzo volume delle Opere fisico-mediche del 1733, costituisce la testimonianza principale dell?interesse lessicografico ed enciclopedico di Vallisneri. Strumento di critica delle ambiguit? terminologiche e semantiche della tradizione, e dispositivo di chiarificazione dei paradigmi concettuali della nuova scienza, esso rappresenta non solo una sorta di testamento intellettuale del suo autore, ma anche lo specchio dei meccanismi di ridefinizione metodologica della cultura medico-naturalistica del primo Settecento. The work, incomplete and published posthumously in 1733 in the Opere fisico-mediche, volume III, is the main witness of Vallisneri?s lexicographic and encyclopaedic interests. Criticizing the terminology and ambiguity of traditional semantics and clarifying the conceptual paradigms of the new science, it represents not only a sort of intellectual testament, but also a mirror of the methodological mechanisms of redefinition of naturalistic and medical culture in the early XVIIIth century. 896 gr. 466 p.
