This is a continuation of the Revue de synthese historique; vol. 1 of the Revue 

 de synthese is called vol. 51 of the Revue de synthese historique. The change of 

 title indicates a broadening of purpose: not historical synthesis only, but general 

 synthesis of knowledge. 



Vol. 21 (62 of the general series), second half of 1947, is divided into two parts 

 entitled respectively "Sciences de la nature et synthese generale," "Synthese his- 

 torique." Last part seen vol. 22, 1 (63"* of the general series), 1948, first half, is 

 entitled Synthese generale and is largely devoted to Descartes. During proof- 

 reading received vol. 26 (or 67), 240 p., Paris, Janvier-juin 1950 which was pub- 

 hshed to celebrate three anniversaries, the 50th of the Revue de Synthese, the 25th 

 of the Centre de Synthese, and the 15th of the Semaine de Synthese. It includes 

 the history of these three dovetailed undertakings, all of which were created by the 

 same man, Henri Berr (Isis 42, 381; Osiris 10). 



1900-30: Revue de synthese historique (50 vols, in 38). Edited by Henri Berr. 



Pubhshed in Paris, by Cerf 1900-22, then by La Renaissance du Livre 1923-30. 



Table for the years 1900-10 (1912). 



As the title indicates, this was a general review of history but the editor attached 

 from the beginning much importance to the history of science and enlisted for that 

 purpose such collaborators as Paul Tannery, Andre Lalande, Lucien Poincare, 

 Abel Rey, Maurice Caullery. Tannery's inaugural lesson, never delivered, ap- 

 peared in vol. 8 (Isis 38, 31-51, 1947). I am especially grateful to Berr's Revue 

 because it provided a part of my initiation. 



The 50 vols, make two series: series 1, vol. 1-26, 1900-1913; ser. 2, vol. 1-24, 

 1913-1930. Continued by the preceding title. Revue de synthese. 



1948- : Revue d'histoire de la medecine hebrai'que. Edited by I. Simon, Paris 

 9', 55, rue de Clichy; published by the Societe d'histoire de la medecine 

 hebrai'que in Paris. 

 Irregularly pubhshed. No. 1 was issued in June 1948; No. 2 is the latest on 



record (Sept. -Dec, 1948). The Society was founded by I. Simon and others in 



1936; it was inactive during the war (1939-1947); activities resumed in June 1947. 



The society also wants to establish a library for the history of Hebrew medicine and 



science. (C. F. M.) 



1913- : Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie. Issued by the Societe d'histoire de la 



pharmacie which was founded February 1913. Edited by E. H. Guitard, Paris, 



VI, 4 Ave. de I'Observatoire. 



Vol. 1-17, 1913-1930, pubhshed as Bulletin (q.v.). Issued quarterly; single num- 

 bers are marked by continued notation of volume, whole-numbering and special 

 numbering of Revue issues; e.g., vol. 22, No. 100 is also No. 34 of the revue, issued 

 December 1937. No. 110 was published June 1940. Thereafter, during the turbu- 

 lent period of the war, it was temporarily replaced by an annual pubhcation called 

 Seances et travaux de la Societe d'histoire de la pharmacie. With No. 117, the title 

 of Revue was again assumed and the frequency made quarterly. No. 117, March 

 1947, annee 35; No. 121 (part of annee 36) is the issue for June-September 1948.

1926-1939: Revue d'histoire de la philosophie (et d'histoire generale de la civilisa- 

 tion). Published by the Libraire universitaire in Paris. 

 Quarterly. Series 1 is of five vols. 1926-1931. A new series was pubhshed in 



seven volumes from 1933 to 1939. (C. F. M.) 



^ I first thought that 62 and 63 were misprints for 72 and 73, but Mile. Suzanne Delorme 

 kindly informed me (Paris 29 Jan. 1949): "Les volumes 21-22 de la nouvelle collection s'ap- 

 pellent 62 et 63 de I'ancienne revue (et non 72-73). C'est qu'il s'agit des volumes de synthase 

 historique, alors que la nouvelle collection comprend en outre dix volumes de synthese generale des 

 sciences de la nature qui" ne comptent pas dans I'ancienne tomaison. La serie complete ne com- 

 prend que la synthese historique."
