  abstract  = {In seiner sechsstufigen Epochengliederung der Wissenschaftsgeschichte sieht Alexander von Humboldt nur wenige Lichter, welche die abendl{\"a}ndische Dunkelheit der Zeit zwischen der wissenschaftlichen Bl{\"u}te im arabischen Raum und den Entdeckungsfahrten des Columbus durchbrechen. Als den wichtigsten dieser wenigen Wegbereiter hebt der Freiherr den Franziskanerm{\"o}nch Roger Bacon hervor, der sich in fast allen Disziplinen hervorgetan und f{\"u}r die Einheit der Wissenschaften eingesetzt habe. Nicht nur im Kosmos, sondern auch bereits in den popul{\"a}ren Vortr{\"a}gen in der Singakademie und den Kritischen Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der Geographie der Neuen Welt w{\"u}rdigt Humboldt den Engl{\"a}nder durch ausf{\"u}hrliche Auseinandersetzungen mit dessen Opus maius.},

  abstract  = {Since 1793, Alexander von Humboldt had been dreaming of realizing a travel to Russia, leading him right into Central Asia. In 1829, he finally was able to see his dream fulfilled, although the contexts and conditions of his travel to Russia were totally different from those of his voyage to the Americas, realized some thirty years earlier. Severely controlled by the Russian monarchy, the travellers made it up to the Chinese border, rapidly crossing, within very few months and with the help of more than 12000 horses, more than 18000 kilometers. This article analizes the outstanding importance of Humboldt's Asian project in the context of Humboldtian Science, specially focussing the relevance of TransArea studies within its omnipresent AsiAmerican dimensions. Therefore, Asie centrale occupies a highly specific place within the complex cosmos of Humboldt's writings, highlighting a fascinating transdisciplinary and geoecological approach still of great importance today.},
