The scarce first edition of the first French translation of the first extensive work on Lapland and the Lapps. This highly important work by Johannes Schefferus - Skyttean professor of Eloquence and Government at Uppsala University and one of the most important humanists in Sweden at that time - originally appeared in Latin, in 1673 and was soon translated into French, English, German, and Dutch. It constitutes one of the earliest works on the Saami and is considered a basic source of information on Saami religion and beliefs. Scheffer had been commissioned by the King of Sweden to undertake a study of the Saami, primarily because rumors circulated widely in Europe about the heathen traditions and magic allegedly flourishing among the Lapps. The rumors were based uopn unserious and unfounded studies that the Swedish sought to correct. Schefferbased his work on both his own experiences among the Saami and the extensive collections of manuscripts and artifacts at Upsalla.

(Paris, Mallet-Bachelier), 1863. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 56, No 10, No 16 a. No 26. Pp. (409-) 451, (729-) 808 a. (1185-) 1267. (3 entire issues offered). Pasteur's papers: pp. 416-421, 734-740 a.1189-1194.
First appearance of these importent papers in which Pasteur proved and concluded that putrefaction was, like fermentation caused by living organisms and they are, therefore, analogous processes, for both involve the decomposition of substatances of organisms living in the absence of air. He also here introduced the process of ""PASTEURIZATION"". The last paper is listed as PMM 336 (d).In these papers ""he discovered other organisms that live without air and established the idea of aerobic and anaerobic life and first used these names (1863). Aerobes were only able to live in presence of free oxygen, whereas anaerobic or zymics, as he called them, grew in the absence of oxygen.""(Bullocdh ""The History of Bacteriology"", p. 61).
