| Summary: | Article in German, Abstracts in English and GermanHumboldt distinguished between three disciplines dealing with the inquiring of the earth: geognosia, historia telluris, physiografia. In 1793, he used the notion of “Geognosie” for the first time. He explained the notion in a footnote that was reprinted in 1815, 1817, and again in 1845. The paper analyses the meaning attributed by Humboldt to the notion of “Geognosie” and gives a new German translation of the Latin texts of the footnote. |
