Balthazar-Georges Sage and the Controversyon Animal Respiration
This article reconstructs an overlooked episode in the history of eighteenth-century chemistry: the public confrontation between Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and Balthazar-Georges Sage during Joseph II ’s visit to the Académie des Sciences in May 1777. On that occasion, Sage challenged Lavoisier’s experiments on animal respiration by staging a dramatic “resuscitation” of an asphyxiated sparrow with volatile alkali – an event he immediately sought to…

Glassmaking Goes Public
Glassmaking has prospered as an art since the late Middle Ages. It is therefore surprising that the first systematic treatise exclusively devoted to it appeared as late as 1612. In this article I explore the experimental background of Antonio Neri's L'Arte Vetraria, and its intimate connection with an ancient alchemical tradition and with more contemporary efforts to introduce technical innovations. Furthermore, the active role played by Antonio …
John C. Powers. Inventing Chemistry
Herman Boerhaave's important contributions to the reform of early modern chemistry have often been appreciated, but until recently, only a few studies have explored his work in an analytical way. Thus John C. Powers's Inventing Chemistry, based on hitherto little-known manuscript sources kept in St. Petersburg, is a most useful addition to the literature, offering a convincing reconstruction of Boerhaave's views on chemistry and alchemy. Accordin…
Between the Workshop and the Laboratory
Throughout his career, Lavoisier paid particular attention to the apparatuses he intended to use in his experimental pursuits. Lavoisier engaged many instrument makers in Paris, the French provinces, and abroad, and he made several efforts, more or less successful, to design a new environment for chemical experimentation. In addition to working with famous instrument makers such as Fortin, Mégnié, and Ramsden, Lavoisier had his instruments made b…

The Accademia del Cimento, founded by the Medici princes, Ferdinando II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and his brother, Leopoldo, later Cardinal, had members and programmes of research very different from earlier academies in Italy. The Cimento foreshadowed later European academies and institutions specifically devoted to research and improvement of natural knowledge. It issued only one publication, the Saggi di naturali esperienze , and most of the obs…
