Ciardi, Marco

See Nekoval-Chikhaoui Diffusion de la classification (note 56), 93-94 and 129-130. Although Wurtz accepted the periodic system as support for the new atomic weights, he included some critical remarks concerning the prediction of new elements in his famous book La thiorie atomique. See Charles-Adolphe Wurtz, La thiorie atomique, 4th ed. (Paris F. Alcan 1886), 108-134, critical remarks in pp. 117-118. See the chapters by Marco Ciardi and Antonio Garcia-Belmar and Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent for more data about the points of view of Wurtz on the periodic table and atomic theory. 

Sections 2, 5, 6 are attributed to Marco Taddia, sections 3, 4 to Marco Ciardi.
