  • The Vienna University Observatory
    The Vienna University Observatory THOMAS POSCH Abstract The Vienna University Observatory, housing what was once the world’s largest refracting telescope, still serves as a centre of astronomical research and teaching. In 1819, Johann Josef von Littrow (1781-1840) became Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at the University of Vienna. He tried to move the University Observatory - which was at that time still located at the city centre - to the outskirts, but did not succeed. After his death, his son Carl Ludwig von Littrow (1811-1877) became director of the Observatory. The total solar eclipse which took place on July 8, 1842, in his first year as director, made astronomy very popular and helped promote new investment. In 1872, a large site was acquired for a new observatory on a hill called "Türkenschanze", near the village of Währing outside Vienna. Building began in 1874. The architects of the imposing new building were Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer, both specialists in theatre buildings. Their concept was to combine observatory and apartments on a cross-shaped plan, which was unusually large for its day; 101 m length and 73 m width. The big refractor telescope (with an aperture of 27 inches, or 68 cm and a focal length of 10.5 m) was then the largest refracting telescope in the world. The celebratory opening took place in 1883. The excellent instrumentation made possible numerous remarkable Fig. 1 - Georg von Peuerbach’s ‘Theoricae novae planetarum’, discoveries in the fields of binary stars, Nuremberg 1473 asteroids and comets. However, the Währing district quickly became attractive to the Viennese upper classes and the observatory was soon part of an illuminated urban area.

  • Preprint N°494
    2019 Preprint N°494 The Reception of Cosmography in Vienna: Georg von Peuerbach, Johannes Regiomontanus, and Sebastian Binderlius Thomas Horst Published in the context of the project “The Sphere—Knowledge System Evolution and the Shared Scientific Identity of Europe” https://sphaera.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de The Reception of Cosmography in Vienna: Georg von Peuerbach, Johannes Regiomontanus, and Sebastian Binderlius1 Abstract In this paper, the importance of the cosmographical activities of the Vienna astronomical “school” for the reception of the Tractatus de Sphaera is analyzed. First, the biographies of two main representatives of the Vienna mathematical/astronomical circle are presented: the Austrian astronomers, mathematicians, and instrument makers Georg von Peuerbach (1423– 1461) and his student Johannes Müller von Königsberg (Regiomontanus, 1436–1476). Their studies influenced the cosmographical teaching at the University of Vienna enormously for the next century and are relevant to understanding what followed; therefore, the prosopo- graphical introductions of these Vienna scholars have been included here, even if neither can be considered a real author of the Sphaera. Moreover, taking the examples of an impressive sixteenth-century miscellany (Austrian Na- tional Library, Cod. ser. nov. 4265, including the recently rediscovered cosmography by Sebastian Binderlius, compiled around 1518), the diversity of different cosmographical studies in the capital of the Habsburg Empire at the turning point between the Middle Ages and the early modern period is demonstrated. Handwritten comments in the Vienna edition of De sphaera (1518) also show how big the influence of Sacrobosco’s work remained as a didactical tool at the universities in the first decades of the sixteenth century—and how cosmographical knowledge was transformed and structured in early modern Europe by the editors and readers of the Sphaera.

  • Aestimatio: Critical Reviews in the History of Science
    Astrolabes from Medieval Europe by David A. King Variorum Collected Studies Series 977. Farnham, UK/Burlington, VT: Ashgate Publishing, 2011. Pp. xvi + 404. ISBN 978–1–4094–2593–9. Cloth. £100.00, $190.00 Reviewed by Sara J. Schechner Harvard University [email protected] This volume gathers 12 studies written by David A. King and published between 1993 and 2008. King is Emeritus Professor of History of Science at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He is a historian of medieval astronomy and its instrumentation, specializing in both Islamic and Christian traditions. It is a heterogeneous collection, offering readers insight into specific me- dieval sundials and Renaissance astrolabes in addition to the astrolabes from medieval Europe advertized by the book title.Looking like a technical course reader, this is not a book to be browsed lightly, even though the 148 black- and-white illustrations are sure to intrigue those who pick up the book.The target audience for the volume is the specialist—for whom the book does a service in bringing the miscellany together, especially since the titles were originally published in esoteric Festschrifts and niche journals. As in other volumes in the Variorum Collected Studies Series, Ashgate has not reformat- ted or repaginated the originals but reproduced them as they first appeared, so that users may cite the studies using the original pagination. Each arti- cle has been given a Roman numeral, however, which will accompany the original page numbers when cited in this review. The first article, ‘Astronomical Instruments between East and West’, origi- nally appeared in Kommunikation zwischen Orient und Okzident, a publi- cation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences [King 1994].
