Description

The Renaissance witnessed an upsurge in explanations of natural events in terms of invisibly small particles – atoms, corpuscles and minima. The contributions to this volume attempt to explain this phenomenon, considering natural philosophy, medicine, alchemy and the recovery of ancient texts.
