| Research Abstract |
Georg Forster's Reise um die Welt(Voyage around the World), an 18th century German publication of his travels around the world, was analysed from two points of view : one as 'litarary text' and the other as 'database of natural science and cultural history'. This work was subsequently published in Germany.
