"The Quarrel over Swammerdam's Posthumous Works reconstructs the vicissitudes of Johannes Swammerdam's Biblia naturae, a pivotal collection of writings in the history of science. Bequeathed to the polymath Melchise´dech The´venot, the manuscripts and drawings of the treatises constituting this collection were instead kept by the editor Hermann Wingendorp after Swammerdam's death (1680), triggering a quarrel over their publication. By analysing Swammerdam's scientific legacy and by offering an edition of the correspondence testifying to the efforts towards such publication, this book sheds light on the editorial history and intellectual context of Swammerdam's Biblia. This reveals not only an intricate plot of authorized and unauthorized attempts to publish it, but also an exchange of scientific texts and instruments in the late seventeenth century"--
