About This Item
Paris: Masson & fils, 1862. First edition. Good+. Octavo (22 cm); 512 pages, and five plates (four folding, one in color). Original half calf over green cloth. Extremities rubbed. Abrasion damage to plate 5. Bookplate of Andras Gedeon.
References: PMM 336c; Garrison & Morton 2475; Gedeon, "Science and Technology in medicine," #50 (this copy).
This volume contains both Pasteur's landmark experiments in fermentation, including the swan-necked culture vessels (illustrated on the engraved plate) which remained sterile despite being open to the atmosphere, and spectral analysis of salts by their color bands by Gustav Kirchhoff and Wilhelm Bunsen.
The experiments described herein were the downfall of the theory of spontaneous generation and also eventually led to a better understanding of the brewing and fermentation process in beer and wine.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
