  • The Science of Astrology: Schreibkalender, Natural Philosophy, and Everyday Life in the Seventeenth-Century German Lands
    The Science of Astrology: Schreibkalender, Natural Philosophy, and Everyday Life in the Seventeenth-Century German Lands A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kelly Marie Smith M.A. University of Cincinnati, December 2003 B.S. Eastern Michigan University, December 2000 Committee Chair: Sigrun Haude, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation explores the use of Schreibkalender, or writing-calendars, and their accompanying prognostica astrologica to evaluate how ideas about seventeenth-century natural philosophy – particularly the relationship between astronomy and astrology – changed throughout the period. These calendars contain a wealth of information that demonstrates the thirst early modern readers had for knowledge of the world around them. Because Schreibkalender and prognostica were written annually for the general populace and incorporated contemporary ideas regarding natural philosophy, they provide a means to assess the roles of both astronomical and astrological ideas during this period and how these changes were conveyed to the average person. Not only did authors present practical information related to the natural world, but they also explained basic philosophical principles and new discoveries to their audience. This research examines how changing ideas about the role of natural philosophy and its direct influence on everyday life developed over the course of the seventeenth century. An examination of the Schreibkalender and prognostica reveals a shift in emphasis throughout the period. Early calendars (approximately 1600-30) presented direct astronomical and astrological information related to the daily life of the average person, whereas those from the middle of the century (~1630-70) added helpful details explaining astronomical and astrological concepts.

  • The Nova Stella and Its Observers
    Running title: Nova stella 1572 AD The Nova Stella and its Observers P. Ruiz–Lapuente ∗,∗∗ 1. Introduction In 1572, physicists were still living with the concepts of mechanics inherited from Aris- totle and with the classification of the elements from the Greek philosopher. The growing criticism towards the Aristotelian views on the natural world could not turn very produc- tive, because the necessary elements of calculus and the empirical tools to move into a better frame were still lacking. However, in astronomy, observers had witnessed by that time the comet of 1556 and they would witness a new one in 1577. Moreover, since 1543 when De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium by Copernicus came to light, the apparent motion of the planets had a radically different explanation from the ortodox geocentrism. The new helio- centric view slowly won supporters among astronomers. The explanations concerning the planetary motions would depart from the “common sense” intuitions that had placed the earth sitting still at the center of the planetary system. Thus the “nova stella” in 1572 happened in the middle of the geocentric–versus–heliocentric debate. The other “nova”, the one that would be observed in 1604 by Kepler, came just shortly after the posthumous publication of Tycho Brahe’s Astronomiae Instauratae Progymnasmata1 which contains most of the debates in relation to the appearance of the “new star”2. arXiv:astro-ph/0502399v1 21 Feb 2005 The machinery moving the planetary spheres, i.e. the intrincate system of solid spheres rotating by the motion imparted to them as the wheels in a clock, was not directly affected by the new heliocentric proposal.

  • Copernicus' First Friends: Physical Copernicanism
    Filozofski vestnik Volume/Letnik XXV • Number/Številka 2 • 2004 • 143–166 COPERNICUS’ FIRST FRIENDS: PHYSICAL COPERNICANISM FROM 1543 TO 1610 Katherine A. Tredwell and Peter Barker Early assessments of the Copernican Revolution were hampered by the failure to understand the nature of astronomy in the sixteenth century, as scholars took statements made in praise of Copernicus to be implicit endorsements of his heliocentric cosmology. Gradually this view has been supplanted by the ac- knowledgement that many supposed partisans of Copernicus only endorsed the use of his astronomical models for the calculation of apparent planetary positions, while rejecting or remaining silent on the reality of heliocentrism. A classic example of this shift in historiography concerns Erasmus Reinhold (1511–1553), a professor of mathematics at the University of Wittenberg. Re- inhold’s use of Copernican models in his Prutenic Tables (Tabulae prutenicae, 1551) has led to the mistaken belief that he sanctioned a Sun-centered cos- mology as well. Careful reassessment of his published writings has revealed that he commended certain aspects of Copernicus’ work, such as the elimi- nation of the equant, but showed no interest in heliocentrism (Westman, 1975: pp. 174–178). Other supposed Copernicans, such as Robert Recorde (c. 1510–1558), expressed some openness to the Earth’s motion but left no clear indication of what they thought to be the true system of the world (Rus- sell, 1972: pp. 189–191). Between the publication of Copernicus’ epoch-making book On the Revo- lutions of the Celestial Orbs (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium) in 1543 and the year 1610, only a handful of individuals can be identified with certainty as Copernicans, in the sense that they considered heliocentrism to be physically real and not merely a calculational convenience.

Previous scholarship has highlighted the important role of Sacrobosco’s Sphere in medieval and early modern universities, where it served as an introductory astronomy text. We argue that the Sphere was more than a university teaching text. It was translated many times and was accessible to a wide range of people. The popularity of the Sphere suggests widespread interest in cosmological questions. We suggest that the text was a profitable one for early modern printers, who strove to identify books that would be reliable sellers. We also argue that the Sphere was not a static text. Rather, translators and editors added commentaries and other supplemental material that corrected and updated Sacrobosco’s original text and Corresponding author: Kathleen Crowther, Department of the History of Science, University of Oklahoma, 601 Elm Avenue, Room 625, Norman, OK 73019, USA.

  • Philipp Melanchthon — a Shining Example O. a True
    SCIENTIIC PAPERS O THE UNIVERSITY O PARDUBICE Series C Institute of Languages and Humanities 5 (1999) PHILIPP MELANCHTHON A SHINING EXAMPLE O A TRUE SCHOLAR, EDUCATOR AND PEDAGOGUE AND HIS INLUENCE ON BOHEMIA AND MORAVIA Werner Korthaase Areie Universität Berlin The historicalremoteness from Melanchthonseems enormous. Nobody seems to be aware of his once undisputed importance, least of all those in the world of the academic education of pedagogues, as nearly all the memorial services which were held in honour of his 500th birthday were carried out by theologians or histori- ans of the church. No pedagogues were seen at these memorialcelebrations,al- though the person being remembered did not carry the honorary title Theologus Germaniae but Praeceptor Germaniae, which means the educator of the German nation. This honorary title was not presented to him by any academy or royal uni- versity, but by his gratefulstudents who lovedand worshipped him to the highest degree. This is a wretched state of affairs and throws a poor light on the condition of PedagogicalStudies at the present time, where the highest representatives ig- nore the greatest of their field as if they hat never existed and could not possibly be examples to the younger generation. The important scholar and founder of the verstehende Kulturwissenschaft, Wil- helm Dilthey (1833-1911), already ascertained that Melanchthon could be consid- ered to be the most underrated person of the following generations, although he unfolded an immeasurable effectiveness and was the greatest organizing power in Protestant Germany in the 16th century. He was an incomparable didactical genius (Dilthey, V.

This article offers a first exploration of the bicen- tennial. It explores how Melanchthon’s commemorators in central Europe positioned him as a hero of the early German Enlightenment (Aufklärung), singling out and reinterpreting his labours for the ‘improvement of humanity’. Shorn of context, divested of theological and eccle- siastical commitments, Melanchthon became the model scholar and the pride of Lutheran Germany, who transcended confessional particularities to instruct all of Europe.

  • Astrology in Antiquity, in the Renaissance, and Today
    Astrology in Antiquity, in the Renaissance, and Today WALTHER LUDWrC* An alleged science, astrology, and an alleged form of magic, cartomancy, have had an upswing almost as tremendous as that of electronic technology in Germany within the last decades. This seems to be the case also in other European countries as well as in the USA and in Asia. I must ask you to evaluate the situation in Australia for yourselves. Esoteric practices like gazing at crystal balls or belief in chiromancy and in talismans also have increasing numbers of followers, who venture into the public arena. According to an opinion poll, more than 50 per cent of Germans believe that there is something in astrology. It has acquired the reputation of being a respectable science of a special kind. Not only illustrated magazines and television channels propagate it seriously as a reliable instrument of foretelling the future. Even some prominent persons confess their adherence to it without hesitation. One reads about politicians in the USA and in Russia who have been counselled by astrologers. And investors at the stock market, managers, and even physicians, are said to rely on their help. The spread of belief in astrology during the twentieth century is an astonishing phenomenon which demands an explanation. This development and its causes deserve more scholarly attention than they have so far received. It seems that the more our world changes, the greater the attraction of mysterious astrological statements becomes. The more complicated and * Walther Ludwig is Emeritus Professor of Classical and Nco-Latin Studies at the University of Hamburg in Germany.
