  Accademia dei Lincei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Accademia dei Lincei, (literally the "Academy of the Lynxes", but also known as the Lincean Academy), is located at the Palazzo Corsini on the Via della Lungara in Rome, Italy.
The Lincei was founded in 1603 by Federico Cesi (1586-1630), an aristocrat from Umbria (the son of Duke of Acquasparta and a member of an important family from Rome) who was passionately interested in natural history, above all in botany.
The modern Lincei have constituted a pantheon of European intellectuals: from Righi and Pacinotti to Fermi, from Pasteur to Roentgen and Einstein, from Mommsen to Wilamowitz, Comparetti, Croce, and Gentile.

The Accademia dei Lincei (Academy of Lynxes), was founded in 1603 by Duke Frederico Cesi, and was the earliest society that appears to have published any proceedings.
For a history of the various attempts to revive the Accademia, the reader may consult both the Italian and English histories at the website of its current incarnation, the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.
On p.75 of The Rôle of Scientific Societies in the Seventeenth Century, Martha Ornstein indicates that this publication (the proceedings of the Academy) is mentioned on p.11 of Domenico Carutti's Breve Storia della Accademia dei Lincei (Rome, 1883).

Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.367 indicates that the opinions of scholars on the founding date of the Accademia degli Investiganti were (in the 1920s when Maylender wrote this) varied and included dates of 1650, 1655, 1663 and 1669.
Fisch (pp.521-526) indicates that the Accademia degli Investiganti arose in Naples out of the dispute between the"ancients" (those guided by the writing of the ancients) and the "moderns." (those favouring the new experimental method, or "new science").
Finally, it should be noted that although Maylender (1926-1930), v.3, p.367 gives the name of the Academy as the Accademia degli Investiganti, the name appears as Accademia degl' Investiganti on a 1735 title-page reproduced as Fig.6 of Plate L (falling between pp.550 and 551) of Fisch.

 DISF - Interdisciplinary Encyclopaedia of Religion and Science | Pontifical Academy of Sciences
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences has its origins in the “Accademia dei Lincei” (The Academy of Lynxes) which was established in Rome in 1603, under the patronage of Pope Clement VIII, by the learned Roman Prince, Federico Cesi.
He thus called this Academy 'dei Lincei' because the scientists which adhered to it had to have eyes as sharp as lynxes in order to penetrate the secrets of nature, observing it at both microscopic and macroscopic levels.
For this reason, as Enrico di Rovesanda observes, «the religious inspiration of the Lincei cannot be overlooked, as is done in many quarters, nor can it be reduced to an “almost mystical glow of the school of Pythagoras”, as has also been suggested.
