A later reduced format edition of Perraults Memoires of 1671-1676 Perraults study of this nature was first published in 1669 with the results of investigations of five animals and later expanded with studies of over forty animals. Prior to 1670 most descriptions of animals paid little attention to their internal structure and there were very few images in natural history encyclopedias that depicted skeletons or muscles. That changed with the establishment of the Académie des Sciences in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert with the approval of King Louis XIV. The Academy functioned with neither statutes nor regulations until 1699. At that time the Academy used the term mathématique to encompass the fields that are now called astronomy mathematics and physics and the term physique to encompass the fields that are now called anatomy botany zoology and chemistry. In January 1699 Louis reorganized the Academy giving it first regulations. The effect was to give the King more control over their activities in exchange for becoming an official institution under his protection with the new name Académie Royale des Sciences. One of the original academicians the physician Claude Perrault organized regular sessions at which participants could dissect deceased animals from Louis XIVs royal menagerie and record all they observed. Lions chameleons bears gazelles wolves ostriches crocodiles monkeys eagles tigers porcupines and salamanders among some were all laid open by the academics scalpels. These superb folding plates record in great detail the pioneering work at the Academy. These three volumes in three parts focus on the transformative and foundational years of the French Royal Academy of Sciences and Claude Perraults efforts which had made comparative anatomy a vital tool for the classifying naturalist.

He then leaves Basel for Cluny while his family remained behind in penury and he does not return until 1499 when he retires ; this publication amongst the earliest for Basle is of the celebrated work of William of Auvergne ca. 1180-1271 : the Summa de Virtutibus or The Summation of Virtues the first of the famous two-part tract whose second part published separately treats of the vices. William was born in the former Province of Auvergne about 1180 and by 1223 he was master of theology at the University of Paris and a canon at Notre Dame. He was consecrated Bishop and given the See of Paris in 1228 by Pope Gregory IX and he remained there until his death in 1249. The Summa de Virtutibus et Viitis On the Virtues and Vices a massive work is itself part of a much larger work the Magisterium Divinale et Sapientiale The Teaching on God in the Mode of Wisdom. The style of the work is somewhat rambling moving off into many tangents as it explores related concepts and makes the work appear as an extemporaneous discourse often making a point and then immediately raising objections to that point which William then proceeds to refute. It was reprinted many times and was a monumental Dominican theological work. name variants for William of Auvergne: Guilelmus Peraldus Guillermus Parisiensis Guilielmus Peraldus Guilelmus Peraldus Guillaume Perrault Guilelmus Peraldus Willelmi de Peraldo Wilhelm Peraldus Guilelmus de Petra Alda Guillaume de Peyraud Ardeche G.
