Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

Description
Le forme latine della scienza: il Dynamica de potentia di W. G. Leibniz
In the modern age, the history of Latin is indissolubly interwoven with science, which until the eighteenth century uses this language as a means of communication to announce the new dimensions of the cosmos, and to define the whole taxonomy of reality. A decisive role in this process is played by Leibniz, who, although working from his youth to the project of a characteristic universalis, a mathematical encyclopedic idiom, proposed using Latin - a 'simplified' Latin, devoid of bending and genres - as a universal language. Here is the Latin translation of a section of Leibniz's work Dynamica de potentia, a book on mechanics, written after 1690, which has been reworked many times and which is missing a translation into Italian: the analysis of Sectio III 1 -18, which deals with the impact (for Leibniz the fundamental phenomenon of all physics), highlights the characteristics of the exhibition system and the scientific writing model adopted by the great philosopher.
