"Nuncius.
Annali del Museo di Storia della Scienza di Firenze" publishes
four kinds of essays:
The essays, which may have footnotes, should be no more than 40 pages long (with one page equal to about 2000 typed characters, or 300 words), and should be accompanied by an abstract in both Italian and English (max. 100 words). The function of the abstract is to give a clear idea of the content of the article. References to authors in the text should include, at least the first time, the name of the author in full and the full title of the work in italics. In later references, the author can be referred to by surname alone, and titles of works can be cited in short form. After the title of the article, followed by NAME and SURNAME, the author of the essay should specify his or her INSTITUTIONAL AFFILIATION. We also request that you indicate on a separate sheet the address to which correspondence should be sent and an e-mail address.
These are devoted to the examination in depth of one or more texts, connected by a common perspective, or to the discussion of a particular historiographical theme. Critical discussions can have footnotes, and should not be more than 25 pages long. They are not accompanied by an abstract, but must have a title.
