This book presents the first interdisciplinary study of Alessandro Piccolomini’s two early astronomical works – De la Sfera del Mondo and De le Stelle Fisse. First published in Venice in 1540, the two treatises are amongst the earliest scientific texts written in the vernacular (Italian) and were specifically composed to make astronomical principles and practices available to a lay reader.

The book includes modern editions of the original Italian texts and an English translation of both treatises (all appended as Electronic Supplementary Material to the online edition), while also examining the contents of each treatise in depth. It explores the way in which Piccolomini addresses the theoretical underpinnings of the science of astronomy in his De la Sfera del Mondo by providing a version of Sacrobosco’s De sphaera, which he has expanded and updated to include the views of more recent natural philosophers and astronomers. The book also presents an extended study ofDe le Stelle Fisse and the unique method that Piccolomini devised for observing the stars, as well as explanatory notes on the sources behind his explanations of the mythographic sources of each constellation.

In addition to this, the book presents a detailed examination of the cultural context in which Piccolomini wrote his treatises, focussing on such issues as how astronomy was taught in Italian universities in the 16th-century; the on-going debates on the viability of Italian as language as a means for discussing scientific ideas; and how Piccolomini navigated through the competitive and complicated world of book production in 16th-century Venice. Given that Piccolomini originally dedicated both treatises to his female friend, the Sienese aristocrat Laudomia Forteguerri, there is also a discussion of the mysteries behind their personal relationship; of the dynamics of Sienese society at the time; and, in particular, the role that the Sienese Accademia degli Intronati played in Piccolomini’s own intellectual development and the composition of his astronomical treatises.

This book is a companion volume to Alessandro Piccolomini’s Early Astronomical Works: II. An Examination of Their Scientific Content by Elly Dekker in the same series.

中文| 2024 | ISBN:978-3-031-56786-5 | 297页| True PDF，EPUB | 35.5 MB本书首次对亚历山德罗·皮科洛米尼的两部早期天文学著作《世界之歌》和《恒星裂变》进行了跨学科研究。这两篇论文于1540年在威尼斯首次出版，是最早用白话（意大利语）撰写的科学文本之一，专门为非专业读者提供天文学原理和实践而撰写。 这本书包括意大利原文的现代版本和两篇论文的英文翻译（均作为在线版的电子补充材料附上），同时还深入研究了每篇论文的内容。它探讨了Piccolomini在他的《De la Sfera del Mondo》中阐述天文学理论基础的方式，提供了Sacrobosco的《De sphaera》的一个版本，他对该版本进行了扩展和更新，以包括最近的自然哲学家和天文学家的观点。这本书还对De le Stelle Fisse进行了深入研究，介绍了Piccolomini为观测恒星而设计的独特方法，并对他解释每个星座的神话来源背后的来源进行了说明。 除此之外，这本书还详细考察了皮科洛米尼撰写论文的文化背景，重点关注了16世纪意大利大学如何教授天文学等问题；关于意大利语作为讨论科学思想的一种手段的可行性的持续辩论；以及皮科洛米尼如何在16世纪威尼斯竞争激烈、复杂的图书制作世界中游刃有余。鉴于Piccolomini最初将这两篇论文都献给了他的女性朋友，锡耶纳贵族Laudomia Forteguerri，因此也讨论了他们个人关系背后的奥秘；当时锡耶纳社会的动态；特别是，锡耶纳学院在皮科洛米尼自己的智力发展和天文论文的撰写中所发挥的作用。 这本书是亚历山德罗·皮科洛米尼《早期天文学著作：II》的配套卷。Elly Dekker在同一系列文章中对其科学内容的考察。
