Protogaea Summary

Protogaea by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Claudine Cohen and Andre Wakefield offer the first English translation of Protogaea, a central text in natural philosophy and an ambitious account of terrestrial history. Written between 1691 and 1693, and first published long after Leibniz's death in 1749, Protogaea reemerges in this bilingual edition with an introduction that carefully situates the work within its historical context.

Protogaea Reviews

Historically, this is a very influential book that has finally been brought out of obscurity for readers of English. Essential. - Choice Protogaea gives us a much fuller picture of science and culture in the territories of the Holy Roman Empire at a crucial time in its history. Cohen and Wakefield are to be commended for their hard work in making it possible for the Protogaea to reach the audience it deserves. - H-Net Review.
