These discussions were characterized by an appeal to laboratory work grounded on a thorough revision of ancient and/or traditional sources. Within this network, two major lines were identified: one maintaining tha…

• Abstract

  The refinement of our group's previous researches revealed a network of conceptions on the principles of matter that continued until the eighteenth century at least. These conceptions had a distinctive, and (particular but) very interesting development among people who relied on laboratory processes to understand nature. Almost always focused on all the three kingdoms of nature, these con…
