An historiographical review of source books is a desideratum. Here is not the place to publish a full bibliography; suffice to say that the original sequence of volumes published by McGraw-Hill on astronomy, mathematics, physics, medical history, Greek science, animal biology, psychology, agricultural chemistry and chemistry were all reprinted during the expansion period of history of science teaching in the late 1950s and early 1960s. During the latter period, these were supplemented by editions of complete documents such as M. Clagett, The science of mechanics in the Middle Ages (1959) and KnightD. M., Classical scientific papers: Chemistry (1968). For WalcottGregory D., see Dictionary of American biography.

Note also the useful review by HallVance, “Chemistry by location in western and central Europe”, in RussellC. A. (ed.), Recent developments in the history of chemistry (Royal Society of Chemistry, London, 1985), 253–87.
