Nuncius Library no. 59 - Istituti Nazionali, Accademie e Società Scientifiche nell'Europa di Napoleone
Area: |
Institute |
Start: |
1 October 2005 |
Description: |
A rich inedited documentation illustrates how the organizational model of the Institut, created in France in 1795, was transferred to Napoleonic Europe: to Italy, Holland and Spain. The Institut gathered the most illustrious scholars of science, letters and arts, ensuring sites and public financing. The traditional hierarchy among the disciplines was surmounted and the egalitarian ideals of the Enyclopédie were achieved. An organization model was introduced for the national academies in many countries which is still a point of reference today. |
