In light of research which, since the publication of Rousseau and Porter’s Ferment of Knowledge, has demonstrated the continued centrality of magic and the occult to what may be termed “scientific knowledge” in the early modern period, this essay argues that one domain of practice where these concerns remained paramount well into the eighteenth century is the consumption of recipes. Whether exchanged between individuals or collected in print form…
Opium, Experimentation, and Alterity in France
The effects and dangers of opium were subject to intense scientific scrutiny and experimentation in Paris in the decades around 1700, as rival networks of healers contended for commercial advantage over the compound drugs that contained it.

Apothecaries sought to resurrect a…

Le Jardin d’utopie: L’Histoire naturelle en France de l’Ancien Régime à la Révolution
Fondé en 1635, le Jardin des plantes a acquis, sous la direction de Buffon, une grande réputation. Contrairement à d’autres institutions monarchiques, il a non seulement survécu à la Révolution mais il y devint l’un des plus grands établissements scientifiques publics : le Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, aujourd’hui encore en pleine activité.
