Father Occupation: Musician, Merchant Vincenzio Galilei was descended from a Florentine patrician family. He himself was a distinguished musician. He was not an economic success. He died leaving his oldest son (Galileo) with heavy financial responsibilities but no assets. Financial stringency forced the father into commerce and made him move to Pisa, where Galileo was born. Everything is relative. I cannot see that Galileo grew up impoverished for all the talk of his father's lack of success. I list the financial position as unknown. 3. Nationality Birth: Italian Career: Italian Death: Italian 4. Education Schooling: Pisa As a boy he was tutored in Pisa. The family returned to Florence about 1575, and Galileo went to the school of the monastery at Vallombrosa. He entered the order as a novice in 1578, but did not pursue the clerical life. He enrolled in Pisa in 1581 as a medical student, but left without a degree. Galileo was attracted to mathematics and studied it under Ostillio Ricci in 1583. After he left Pisa, he studied mathematics privately.

Extractions: Greatly esteemed in the late sixteenth century, the Florentine scientist and cosmographer Don Miniato Pitti left behind only a single securely attributed instrument. However, a newly discovered document indicates that immediately after Pitti's death in 1566 the young ducal cosmographer Egnazio Danti bought a number of Pitti's scientific tools and instruments, as well as several artistic objects. Danti's purchases shed new light on how tools circulated within the scientific community and also illustrate the high regard that the young Danti had for his predecessor. This article discusses a particular type of optical instruments, refractive dials, made in the sixteenth century, by placing them in the context of contemporary optical knowledge. First, the properties of refractive sundials and their introduction in the sixteenth century by the German instrument-maker George Hartmann will be discussed. Second, it will be shown how these refractive dials were constructed in the sixteenth century. From an analysis of the notes of Ettore Ausonio, this article argues that the procedure to make refractive dials used by instrument-designers in the sixteenth century was based on contemporary knowledge of refraction.

Dealing with spherical trigonometry on a two-dimensional surface, this book is in two parts. In the first, Monte discusses the planisphere of Gemma Frisius, and at the end gives intructions for its construction (with diagrams). He demonstrates also how the celestial sphere can be projected onto a plane. The second part considers the plansiphere of Juan de Rojas (the inventor of the universal astrolabe), which Gemma Frisius described as a sort of perspective, with the viewer at an infinite distance.

Extractions: CONTACT The way in which the Archimedes Project deals with the digitization of historical sources and their analysis is determined by the necessary interplay between technical and scholarly work. This interplay is reflected in the development and use of some key instruments of the project. Indeed, the first phase of the project was, apart from the continuation of data entry, mainly dedicated to the development of these instruments and their implementation in the project's production line. The production line follows a number of well-defined steps: text selection and the data entry of sources, automatic minimal XML tagging, interactive tagging of formal source structures such as chapter divisions, automatic generation of metadata such as the morphological analysis of words and the establishment of links to an integrated system of sources and metadata, such as dictionaries and bibliographic refernces, interactive creation of scholarly metadata within the content-based access system.

Page 201 of 314 [He is known as Guidobaldo del Monte, although his signature reads Guidobaldo dal Monte. The form Guido Ubaldo (from the Latinized version) is often used, Ubaldo being taken incorrectly as the family name.] Guidobaldo was born into a noble family in the territory of the dukes of Urbino. While at the University of Padua in 1564 he studied mathematics and befriended the poet Torquato Tasso. Later Guidobaldo served in campaigns against the Turks and in 1588 was appointed visitor general of the fortresses and cities of the grand duke of Tuscany. Soon afterward Guidobaldo retired to the family castle of Montebaroccio near Urbino, where he pursued his scientific studies until his death. Guidobaldo was a prominent figure in the renaissance of the mathematical sciences. At Urbino he was a friend and pupil of Federico Commandino and an intimate of Bernardino Baldi, the mathematical historian. In 1588 Guidobaldo saw Commandino's Latin translation of Pappus through the press at Pesaro. The autograph transcript had initially been sent to the Venetian mathematician Barocius for publication; but Barocius, having refused to edit the work without making extensive changes, sent the manuscript to Guidobaldo, who published the text exactly as he found it. Concerning Pappus, Guidobaldo also corresponded with the Venetian senator Jacomo Contarini, who helped Guidobaldo secure an appointment at Padua for Galileo. Guidobaldo's correspondence with these and other friends is an important source for the history of the mathematics of the period.

Rare first edition of the authors first work, generally regarded as the most important treatise on mechanics since Archimedes and a critical influence on Galileo. The work is notable for its commitment to establishing mechanics on a rigorously mathematical basis, for its powerful argument that mechanics and statics are separate sciences and for its insistence that mechanics should not consider abstract and/or abstruse entities but the activity of machines. Stillman Drake particularly emphasizes the importance of the section on pulleys, where Monte reduces them (as he does most other simple machines) to a lever. As such, the work has technological implications for navigation, manufacture, the plastic arts and medicine (l. 245).

Extractions: We are currently exploring various automatic approaches to the analysis of document content. We have defined a test corpus of 16 texts in mechanics from medieval and early Renaissance times, including the entire contents of the Filemaker Database Latin Texts, Galileo's De Motu Antiquiora , Guidobaldo del Monte's Liber Mechanicorum (1577) and In Duos Archimedis Aequeponderantium libros paraphrasis (1588), and Biancani's Aristotelis Loca Mathematica (1615) . The texts are first minimally tagged in XML and are then run through the orthographic normalization modules of Arboreal. This yields a body of orthographically normalized word lists which can be run through the morphological analyzer, yielding frequency results for all lexical (i.e. dictionary) forms in all the texts. We next compute the tf*idf score for all of these lexical forms in all the texts. This score is defined as follows (view slide) . For each term i in a document j, we compute the term frequency of i in j, i.e. the number of occurrences of i in j (tf

This comes when she begins examining what she calls the "professional" encroachment on perspective by mathematicians such as Egnatio Danti, Federico Commandino, Giovanni Battista Benedetti, and Guidobaldo del Monte in chapter 7. Here we get a sense of how perspective is simply one aspect of geometry, although an aspect that can lead in suggestive directions for mathematicians. For instance, Guidobaldo del Monte was interested in the point of "concurrence," that is, the point at which orthogonals converge (the so-called vanishing point), leading him to the important geometric observation that all sets of parallel lines will appear in the picture plane as a series of lines meeting at a point. This then leads in turn to the purely mathematical problem of finding the "positions of the points of concurrence for various sets of parallels" (p. 173).

Extractions: Died: 8 Jan 1642 in Arcetri (near Florence) (now in Italy) Galileo Galilei 's parents were Vincenzo Galilei and Guilia Ammannati. Vincenzo, who was born in Florence in 1520, was a teacher of music and a fine lute player. After studying music in Venice he carried out experiments on strings to support his musical theories. Guilia, who was born in Pescia, married Vincenzo in 1563 and they made their home in the countryside near Pisa. Galileo was their first child and spent his early years with his family in Pisa. In 1572, when Galileo was eight years old, his family returned to Florence, his father's home town. However, Galileo remained in Pisa and lived for two years with Muzio Tedaldi who was related to Galileo's mother by marriage. When he reached the age of ten, Galileo left Pisa to join his family in Florence and there he was tutored by Jacopo Borghini. Once he was old enough to be educated in a monastery, his parents sent him to the Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa which is situated on a magnificent forested hillside 33 km southeast of Florence. The Camaldolese Order was independent of the Benedictine Order, splitting from it in about 1012. The Order combined the solitary life of the hermit with the strict life of the monk and soon the young Galileo found this life an attractive one. He became a novice, intending to join the Order, but this did not please his father who had already decided that his eldest son should become a medical doctor.

Extractions: 1. Introduction The development of perspective had fundamental consequences for science, art, the environment and the imagination. Each of these domains will be considered in turn in the chapters that follow. 2. Astronomy Ever since the Babylonians, there had been observation of the heavens and, already in Antiquity, there were instruments to observe the apparent motions of the planets and stars. Yet the focus of attention was on finding a pattern for phenomena such as eclipses of the sun and moon. Since the heavens were assumed to be unchanging, astronomy became primarily a conceptual problem of accounting for a set of recurring events. Indeed, once a basic catalogue of stars visible to the naked eye had been made, there was little incentive to look more closely. Hence, paradoxically, although ancient astronomy produced various instruments for observation of the heavens, it remained in many ways unvisual: a question of deceptive appearances1 rather than of visual truth. The development of the planisphere and astrolabe2 imposed a deductive grid on the heavens, not unlike that of Ptolemy's projection in his
