Internally, the leaves are mostly clean with occasional water stains and medium foxing. -- Pseudodoxia Epidemica was Sir Thomas Browne's vast catalogue of refuted errors and considered an early European Encyclopedia contributing to the 17th century scientific revolution. Though containing many errors itself to modern readers, Pseudodoxia (also known as Vulgar Errors) paved the way for popular scientific journalism. It was published in no less than six editions (1646,1650,1658 twice,1659 and 1672) and translated into several European languages. Appendiced to Browne's encyclopaedia is An Alphabetical Table which indicates the wide spectrum of subjects covered in its pages. Compiled by Browne himself, the Index lists his main sources as commended authors, his many experiments, and his interests of astronomical, historical, biblical and zoological queries. In its day Pseudodoxia Epidemica was a best-seller and was placed upon the shelves of many English households. - REFERENCES: ESTCR29139; Wing 5161; Keynes 75, Bibliography of Browne.; [12], 326, [10] pages.
