Storia della Scienza. Storia della Chiesa. I. Sigismondi, Costantino. 509 – SCIENZE PURE, TRATTAMENTO STORICO 270 – STORIA DELLA CHIESA In copertina: Imago Gerberti dal medagliere capitolino e scritta ORBE NOVVS nell'epitaffio tombale di Silvestro II a S. Giovanni in Laterano (entrambe le foto sono di Daniela Velestino). Collana diretta da Rosalma Salina Borello e Luca Nicotra Prima edizione: maggio 2010 Universitalia INTRODUZIONE Introduzione Costantino Sigismondi L’edizione del convegno gerbertiano del 2009, in pieno anno internazionale dell’astronomia, si è tenuta nella Basilica di S. Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri il 12 maggio, e a Seoul presso l’università Sejong l’11 giugno 2009. La scelta della Basilica è dovuta alla presenza della grande meridiana voluta dal papa Clemente XI Albani nel 1700, che ancora funziona e consente di fare misure di valore astrometrico. Il titolo di questi atti, ORBE NOVUS, è preso, come i precedenti, dall’epitaffio tombale di Silvestro II in Laterano, e vuole suggerire il legame con il “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium” di Copernico, sebbene il contesto in cui queste parole sono tratte vuole inquadrare Gerberto nel suo ministero petrino come il nuovo pastore per tutto il mondo: UT FIERET PASTOR TOTO ORBE NOVVS. Elizabeth Cavicchi del Massachussets Institute of Technology, ha riflettuto sulle esperienze di ottica geometrica fatte da Gerberto con i tubi, nel contesto contemporaneo dello sviluppo dell’ottica nel mondo arabo con cui Gerberto era stato in contatto.

While confirming several previously docu- mented trends − e.g. the adoption of erroneous Ptolemaic longitudes by 15th and 16th-century European cartographers, or the striking accuracy of Arabic-language tables of coordinates−, we have observed accurate LongMed values largely unnoticed by historians in 16th-century maps and noted that widely diverging LongMed values coexisted up to 1750, sometimes even within the works of one same author.

  • Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex Recentibus Confecta Observationibus #313 1 Title: Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex Re
    Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex recentibus confecta observationibus #313 Title: Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex recentibus confecta observationibus. Date: 1507-1508 Author: Johannes Ruysch Description: In 1507, the copper plates used for the 1490 Rome edition of Ptolemy’s Geographia were reprinted, together with six new maps, either by the printer Bernard Venetus de Vitalibus or the editor Evangelista Tosinus. In addition to the new regional maps, this rare new map of the world by Johann Ruysch is sometimes found in advance of its normal appearance in the Ptolemy atlas the following year. It is not enumerated in the table of contents of the 1507 edition and it must be assumed that Ruysch’s drawing came into the engraver’s hands late in the year, just in time to be engraved and inserted into some of the copies then printed. An inscription on the map just off Taprobana refers to the voyages of the Portuguese to that area in the year 1507. This enlarged map of the known world constructed from recent discoveries, engraved on copper, is one of the earliest printed maps showing the discoveries in the new world. There had been many voyages of discovery immediately before Ruysch created his map, including: • Dias’ rounding of the horn of Africa in 1487, • the European rediscovery of Newfoundland by John Cabot in 1497 (actually a “rediscovery”, as the Norse had been to Newfoundland centuries before and settled there), • Vasco da Gama’s travel to India in 1499, • the explorations of the Caribbean and South America by Columbus (1492-93, 1493-94, 1498, 1502-04) and • visits to the Caribbean and South America by Vespucci (1499, 1501-02).

  • Stellarium for Cultural Astronomy Research
    RESEARCH The Simulated Sky: Stellarium for Cultural Astronomy Research Georg Zotti Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Susanne M. Hoffmann Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Michael-Stifel-Center/ Institut für Informatik and Physikalisch- Astronomische Fakultät, Jena, Germany [email protected] Alexander Wolf Altai State Pedagogical University, Barnaul, Russia [email protected] Fabien Chéreau Stellarium Labs, Toulouse, France [email protected] Guillaume Chéreau Noctua Software, Hong Kong [email protected] Abstract: For centuries, the rich nocturnal environment of the starry sky could be modelled only by analogue tools such as paper planispheres, atlases, globes and numerical tables. The immer- sive sky simulator of the twentieth century, the optomechanical planetarium, provided new ways for representing and teaching about the sky, but the high construction and running costs meant that they have not become common. However, in recent decades, “desktop planetarium programs” running on personal computers have gained wide attention. Modern incarnations are immensely versatile tools, mostly targeted towards the community of amateur astronomers and for knowledge transfer in transdisciplinary research. Cultural astronomers also value the possibili- ties they give of simulating the skies of past times or other cultures. With this paper, we provide JSA 6.2 (2020) 221–258 ISSN (print) 2055-348X https://doi.org/10.1558/jsa.17822 ISSN (online) 2055-3498 222 Georg Zotti et al. an extended presentation of the open-source project Stellarium, which in the last few years has been enriched with capabilities for cultural astronomy research not found in similar, commercial alternatives.

  • ASTR 101L Astronomical Motions I: the Night Sky (Spring)
    ASTR 101L Astronomical Motions I: The Night Sky (Spring) Early Greek observers viewed the sky as a transparent sphere which surrounded the Earth. They divided the stars into six categories of brightness and arranged the stars into groupings called constellations (as did many other cultures). Most of the names of the eighty-eight constellations we use today are based on Greek mythology and their Latin translations. Modern astronomy uses the constellation designations to map the sky. On skymaps, the size of the dot is usually related to the brightness of the object (look on your planisphere). Most only show the brightest stars. They are typically named from brightest to faintest using a letter from the Greek alphabet (α, β, γ, etc.) and the constellation name in the genitive form; e.g. alpha (α) Cygni is the brightest star in Cygnus. Many stars also have Arabic names such as Betelgeuse, Algol, and Arcturus; α Cygni is named Deneb and α Ursa Minoris is more commonly known as Polaris. Either designation is correct. In the exercise “Angles and Parallax,” you made a cross-staff and quadrant and learned how to use them to measure objects inside. Now we will use them to measure objects in the night sky, much like Tycho Brahe did in the 1500’s. Remember to record the date, time, and conditions when making any astronomical observations! All numerical data should be recorded to one decimal place. Objectives: . Measure angular separations and altitudes of objects in the night sky with instruments . Estimate angular separations and altitudes of objects in the night sky with your hands .

  • Build Your Own Planisphere
    Make your own planisphere Dominic Ford 2014{2021 A planisphere is a simple hand-held device which shows a map of which stars are visible in the night sky at any particular time. By rotating a wheel, it shows how stars move across the sky through the night, and how different constellations are visible at different times of year. Here, I present a kit which you can download and print to make your own planisphere out of paper or cardboard. The design of a planisphere depends on the geographic location where it is to be used, since different stars are visible from different places. I have created kits for use at a wide range of latitudes, which you can download from https://in-the-sky.org/planisphere/ The planisphere presented in this document is designed for use at a latitude of 35◦N . What you need • Two sheets of A4 paper, or preferably thin card. • Scissors. • A split-pin fastener. • Optional: one sheet of transparent plastic, e.g. acetate designed for use with overhead projectors. • Optional: A little glue. Assembly instructions Step 1 { Planispheres look slightly different depending on where you live. The planisphere prepared in this document is designed for use anywhere on Earth which is within a few degrees of latitude 35◦N . If you live elsewhere, you should download an alternative kit from https://in-the-sky.org/planisphere/ Step 2 { Print the pages at the back of this PDF file, showing the star wheel and the body of the planisphere, onto two separate sheets of paper, or more preferably onto thin card.

Summer 2015 From Alterity to Allegory: Depictions of Cannibalism on Early European Maps of the New World James Walker Foreword The Philip Lee Phillips Map Society of the Library of Congress is a national support group that has been established to stimulate interest in the Geography and Map Division’s car- tographic and geographic holdings and to further develop its collections through financial dona- tions, gifts, and bequests. The Phillips Map Society publishes a journal dedicated to the study of maps and collections held in the Division known as The Occasional Papers. This install- ment focuses on images of cannibals on early European maps of the New World. I heard Dr. James Walker, the author, deliver a version of this paper while attending a conference at the Society for the History of Discoveries in Tampa, Florida in 2013. I was im- pressed with his discussion of a wide range of cartographic sources, including a number of im- portant holdings in the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress. He synthe- sized an array of cartographic works and thoughtfully commented on how the imagery on the borders of the early European maps of the New World presented a false impression of both the land and people that was believed to be true by many Europeans.
