Abstract

The book aims to study the prefaces to the science books published during the period of 1700-1821 disclosing the acquired science knowledge of the scholars of that era. A lexical text analysis by means of a computer analysis aid lays the ground for the interpretation of the profound thesis of their authors.
The book eventuates to a typology of the prefaces in question reflecting the concept of scientific knowledge that formed in the Greek Enlightenment.
