Importance in the ISI-CNV System
The book documents the systematic pattern — already described by Moréty/Paret and by Donato himself — whereby magnetizers discover real phenomena that official science first denies, then appropriates without citing the predecessors. It provides the historical context for understanding why Donato founded his journal and why Morselli wrote his book: it was necessary to defend the reality of the phenomena against a biased academic establishment.
