The research program from which this volume developed has been formulated in 2005 by Jeanne Peiffer and Jean-Pierre Vittu, and has since been supported by various institutions and individuals, to whom we wish to express our gratitude. The project was launched during an exploratory workshop of the European Science Foundation (ESF), devoted to " Scientific Periodicals in Early Modern Europe ". The workshop was hosted by the Herzog-August-Bibliothek (1-4 June 2005) in Wolfenbuettel and was an opportunity to strengthen the links which some of us had already with this outstanding institution and to introduce some others among us to the treasures of the library and its exceptional working atmosphere.
