Such a comp arative approach has rarely been investigated. Questions that will be addressed are: What were th e major discoveries and inventions in the humaniti es?

The papers of this panel show h ow closely intertwined the practices of the humani ties and natural sciences were, and how the same s cholar could combine both practices in the same pi ece of work.
