The central review bodies of the 17th century, the journal of the Sçavans who edited in Leipzig Acta Eruditorum appeared, the international scientific community committed to Latin and French. The focus was on the four subject areas of university teaching activities (theology, jurisprudence, philosophy, medicine ). The natural sciences were part of the field of philosophical inquiry. Among the great debate objects the historical subjects gained self-interest (also a part of the field of philosophy), with them could be very far reach out into the current reporting.
