Accademia dei Sollevati
[According to an historical page on Treia, this Academy was founded in 1430 by Bartolomeo Vignati as the Accademia dei Sollevati and was devoted to poetry and literature. It was reconstituted in 1778 as the Accademia Georgica (Agricultural Academy), with a broader scope, but with a shift in emphasis to agriculture. Their findings were evidently published in the Giornale di Arti e Commercio. Perhaps Giornale delle Arti e del Commercio (1780-1781, v.1-v.3) is intended here; see Harvard Univ. cat. and GBV German Union cat.. Other than that, the only serial publication of theirs appears to be an Atti for an 1896 session (published 1897); see SBN Italian Union cat.]

Accademia degli Invaghiti (Academy of the Infatuated Ones)
[According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.363, this Academy was founded as the Accademia degli Invaghiti (Academy of the Infatuated Ones) in November, 1562 by Giulio Cesare Gonzaga. According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, pp.375, the Invaghiti were composed almost entirely of nobility, and in the early 1600s another Accademia was established in Mantova from the middle class: the Accademia degli Invitti (the Academy of the Invincible Ones). On 1645, April 18, the latter proposed to change to the less vainglorious name of Accademia dei Timidi (the Academy of the Bashful Ones), and this was done on 1648, March 12 ( Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, pp.376). According to Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, pp.365, in 1738 a planned restoration of the Accademia degli Invaghiti failed, and a portion of its members joined the Accademia dei Timidi; in 1752, the remaining members of the Accademia degli Invaghiti joined the Colonia Arcadica Virgiliana, which had been founded that year ( Maylender (1926-1930), v.5, pp.475). In 1767, plans were finalized to create a new Academy incorporating members from both the Accademia dei Timidi and the Colonia Arcadica Virgiliana (Maylender (1926-1930), v.5, pp.470-471). The new Academy was called Reale Accademia di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti = Reale Accademia di Scienze e Belle Lettere di Mantova and evidently began operation in 1768.]

According to an article in n.39 of Revista de la UPM, the Academy ceased to exist in 1625, and its resources became the property of the newly created Reales Estudios del Colegio Imperial de Madrid.]

Accademia degli Investiganti = Accademia degl' Investiganti = Academia Indagatrix (Academy of the Investigators)
[After the disbanding of the Roman Accademia dei Lincei in 1630, the centre of scientific study passed from Rome to Napoli and Florence, where two illustrious scientific societies carried on the tradition of the Lincei: the Accademia degli Investiganti (founded 1650 in Napoli) and the Accademia del Cimento (founded in 1657 in Florence). Various founding dates for the Accademia degli Investiganti have been suggested (1650, 1655, 1663 and 1669). The Accademia was suspended 1669 or 1670, then revived 1735-1737.]

Société Académique de Soissons (Academic Society of Soissons)
[According to a brief historical page by the Société Archéologique, Historique et Scientifique de Soissons, this society was founded in 1650 as the Société Académique de Soissons. In 1674 it received letters patent from the King. It appears that at this point it became the Académie de Soissons. The Academy had already become dormant by 1683, and was revived at the insistence of Colbert. According to another brief historical page by the Société Archéologique, Historique et Scientifique de Soissons, the Academy was dissolved during the Revolution (probably 1793 August 8, like so many other French academies). It was revived in 1806 as the Société des Sciences, des Arts et des Belles Lettres de Soissons; it apparently published two volumes of Mémoires in 1807 and 1808 (of which evidently no trace remains). It declined beginning in 1812 along with the Empire, and disappeared with the latter (around 1814).]

The above pages have disappeared since being accessed around 2007; we have provided links to the archival copies at the Internet Archive. They have been replaced by much abbreviated information at the website of the Société Historique de Soissons (); the latter claims that in 1847 it was founded as the successor to the Académie de Soissons, which had been established in 1650.

But, within 4 years, more room was needed; so meetings moved to the home of Jacopo Sandri. With the increasing renown of the Accademia, there came increasing interest in creating a stable authoritative scientific institute in Bologna. The prime mover in the latter project was Conte Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli. In 1705, the meetings of the Accademia moved to his palazzo. In 1712 Marsigli donated to the city of Bologna his Museum, which then moved to the Palazzo Poggi, where two years later (1714) the Accademia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna was established, and into which the Accademia degli Inquieti then merged.]

It had as a predecessor the Academy degli Inquieti, which had been founded in either 1690 or 1691. The Latin name of the Institute was from at least 1731 to 1791: Bononiensis Scientiarum et Artium Institutum atque Academia. Its Italian name during the 18th century may have been something like Istituto e Accademia delle Scienze e delle Arti di Bologna. In 1802 or 1803, with the Napoleonic occupation, the Academy devoted to fine arts (the Accademia Clementina di Bologna) was suppressed, so that only one Academy remained, that for the sciences. From that point onward, it was known at various times as: (1) Accademia Reale delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna; (2) R.

But Maylender, on pp.435-436, v.5, gives the name of the first society as Accademia Veneta di Medicina, indicating that it was founded in 1789, dissolved in 1793, and reconstituted in 1807. Maylender, on p.373, v.2, gives the founding date of the Accademia dei Filareti as 1804. And Maylender indicates (p.434-435, v.5), that the third society was actually the Accademia Veneta di Belle Lettere, which had been formed in 1806 through the merger of the Accademia Veneta Letteraria, which had been founded in 1802, and the Accademia dei Sofronomi (which had been formed only that year, according to Maylender p.201, v.5). Furthermore, Maylender (pp.373-374, v.2) indicates that the date of Napoleon's decree was actually 1810. It is possible that the latter is true, with the first assembly being held in 1812. This society published many journals beginning in 1812; details at the ACNP catalogue.]

But Fausti (1977), p.90, indicates that in 1846, Fontana wanted the Accademia degli Ottusi to dedicate their efforts to agrarian studies, and arranged for the latter (which had been relatively dormant since 1823) to replace the Società Agraria Spoletina; funds previously set aside for the Società were diverted to the Accademia for the 1847 fiscal year.

According to Scudder #465, the Syro-Egyptian Society of London (founded in 1844) was merged into the Society of Biblical Archaeology. This evidently happened in 1870 or somewhat later. It appears that in 1919 the Society of Biblical Archaeology merged into the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland (founded in 1823). This latter contention is supported by two pieces of evidence. First, the Library Catalogues page at the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland includes the note: "Note: includes collections of the Library of the Society of Biblical Archaeology, merged with RAS, 1919." Second, according to a record in the University of Leicester Union List of Periodicals: "Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology London: Society of Biblical Archaeology, 1878-1918 [became Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland]".]

In 1921, it was revived under the name Петроградское Физико-Математическое Общество (Petrograd Physical and Mathematical Society), later the Ленинградское Физико-Математическое Общество (Lenigrad Physical and Mathematical Society). In 1930, in the face of persecution, the Society decided to dissolve itself. In 1953, the Ленинградский Общематематический Семинар (Leningrad All-Mathematical Seminar, or Leningrad Mathematical Seminar) was organized, and filled the gap in the Society's existence to some extent. In 1959 the Society was resurrected as the Ленинградское Математическое Общество (Leningrad Mathematical Society), and later became the Санкт-Петербургское Математическое Общество (St. Petersburg Mathematical Society).

Two East-German academies later joined, the Sächsischen Akademie (in 1991) and the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie (in 1993). In 1998 the word Konferenz was replaced by Union; evidently, at some point, the phrase "in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" was also removed to reflect the fact that it contained more than West German academies.]

[The Association was founded in 1895, and was in existence as late as 1914 (when its Proceedings ceased); it is possible that its activity ceased completely with the onset of WWI. (It should be noted that the ASTM was founded in 1898 as the American Chapter of the International Association for Testing Materials.) In 1927 a new international association bearing the same English and French names as the one founded in 1895 was founded; its names are given in various library catalogues as: Association Internationale pour l'Essai des Matériaux = International Association for Testing Naterials = Internationaler Verband für Materialprüfung. It is quite possible that this new association was intended as a replacement for the earlier association. This new association was still in existence in 1937, when it held its 2nd congress; it is possible that this association ceased with the onset of WWII. Finally, the founding in 1947 of RILEM may have been intended as a replacement for this 2nd association.]
