Scientific activity

Finis eius est rerum cognitionem
et sapientiam non solum acquirere,
recte, pieque simul vivendo; sed et
hominibus voce et scriptis absque
ullius noxa pacifice pandere.
(Lynceographum, I, 15-19)

The aim of the Academy is not only
that of acquiring knowledge of phenomena and knowledge
through a just and at the same time pious life, but also
pass them on to men by word of mouth and in writing,
peacefully, without harm to anyone
