Naturerkenntnis und Kunstschaffen - Die Discours admirables von Bernard Palissy. Übersetzung und Kommentar

For the first time, this volume offers a complete German translation of the principal literary work of Bernard Palissy (1510–90), including critical commentary. The tractate by the French ceramic artist represents a major foundational text in art history and the history of science, integrating themes from geoscience with artistic practice. A commentary section examines the implications of the work for the growth of knowledge and discovery.
