The Prodromus Of Nicolaus Steno's Dissertation

The Prodromus of Nicolaus Steno's Dissertation: Concerning a Solid Body Enclosed by Process of Nature Within a Solid is a historical text written by Nicolaus Steno and published in 1916. The book is a translation of Steno's original work, which was written in Latin in the 17th century. Steno was a Danish scientist and theologian who is considered one of the founders of modern geology. In the book, Steno describes his observations of the natural world and his theories about the formation of rocks and minerals. He proposes that some rocks are formed through a process of nature in which a solid body is enclosed within another solid body. He also discusses the concept of stratification, or the layering of rocks, and how it relates to the history of the earth. The Prodromus of Nicolaus Steno's Dissertation is an important work in the history of science and geology. It provides insight into the early theories and observations of one of the field's pioneers, and sheds light on the development of scientific thought during the 17th century. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science or geology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
