Please look at the pictures, what you see is what you buy!The Academy of Sciences owes its origins both to the circles of scholars who, from the beginning of the 17th century, gathered around a patron or an erudite personality, and to the permanent scientific societies which were formed at the same time, such as the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome (1603), the Royal Society in London (1645)... In 1666, Colbert created an Academy dedicated to the development of science and advising the authorities in this area.
