Table of Contents of the First Nine

Critical Bibliographies (including a Table of Contents of Vol. 1, 11, 111).

This table will enable any one to find rapidly the bibliographical information published in Isis about any period of the past. If he be interested in the twelfth century for inst.,the table will refer him to the various pages of vol. I, , I IIl, dealing with S. xnI or with the transitional periods S. xi-xn, S. xnI-xI. The reader will keep in mind that this bibliography made for historians is primarily chronological, - so is also the table. If he refers to the various pages quoted under other headings, for inst. China or astronomy, he will find there only the items which could not be included in the fundamental - chronological - classification. Hence if he wishes information on Chinese mathematics in the XIIIth century, he should consult the paragraph (( S. XIII)

as well as the paragraph ( China ); in the same way any paper dealing with an astronomer of the xvInth century, would likely be found under ?( S. xvn )), but it would be well however to read also the paragraph ? astronomy ).

It is only in vol. III that the chronological classification has been strictly abided by. In the previous volumes all the information on Greek science for inst. was classified under Greece. Hence it is well in each case to consult both the special paragraph and the more general one, for ex. ( S. iv A. C. ) and (( Greece ?.

The Editor has tried to improve his system of classification, as himself gained more knowledge and experience. Hence there are some divergences between the classification as used in vol. I and II on one hand, vol. III on the other. Short notes, and when necessary the French titles of the ancient classification, have been inserted in the present Table to protect the reader against misunderstandings.

When a number is underlined, it means that the page bearing this number quotes papers or reviews published in Isis. Every one of these indeed is classified in the bibliography. This little device makes it unnecessary to publish a table of contents of Isis.

It is hoped that this chronological classification will slowly oblige



CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES

historians and scientists to widen their horizon. They will not be able to forget any more that while civilization developed in the Medi- terranean basin, synchronous developments of great importance took

place in other parts of the world. The most interesting and valuable fruits of historical learning will be obtained some day by a deeper comparative study of Western and Eastern developments, than is now possible. This study is still in its infancy, but we will try to promote it by all means in our power. This classification wherein Latin, Jewish, Islamitic, Chinese, Indian items instead of being grouped apart are mixed and placed in their true chronological sequence is one of these means, and perhaps not the least efficient.
