Description: This third volume extends the line set out in volumes one and two. It specifies, moreover, the catalog of the library (and some other collections) which allowed for the composition of the foregoing monographs on the history of the atomic and molecular theory (and their forthcoming German version). It also features obituaries for two dear teachers-colleagues: Gerhard Klumpp (1936-2012) and Knut Kleve (1926-2017). Moreover, there are new issues of two series: the one on the history of the microscope (this time on the 18th century), the other devoted to great European physicists (this time on Manne Siegbahn, 1886-1978). Last but not least there is the text of a paper read at the congress commemorating the 6th centenary of the rediscovery of Lucretius' De rerum natura, held at University of Sassari (Alghero, Sardinia, 2017). The historiographic circle is now closed: there is a direct link, through Lucretius, with the world of Classics, on the one hand, while the recently retrieved details of Planck's calculatio crucis function as a bridge to modern Physics.
