Picturing the Book of Nature pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Because of their spectacular, naturalistic pictures of plants and the human body, Leonhart Fuchs' "De historia stirpium" and Andreas Vesalius' "De humani corporis fabrica" are landmark publications in the history of the printed book. But as "Picturing the Book of Nature" makes clear, they do more than bear witness to the development of book publishing during the Renaissance and to the prominence attained by the fields of medical botany and anatomy in European medicine. Sachiko Kusukawa examines these texts, as well as Conrad Gessner's unpublished "Historia plantarum", and demonstrates how their illustrations were integral to the emergence of a new type of argument during this period - a visual argument for the scientific study of nature. Kusukawa begins with a survey of the technical, financial, artistic, and political conditions that governed the production of printed books during the Renaissance. It was during the first half of the sixteenth century that learned authors began using images in their research and writing, but because the technology was so new, there was a great deal of variety of thought - and often disagreement - about exactly what images could do. Kusukawa investigates the works of Fuchs, Gessner, and Vesalius in light of these debates, scrutinizing the scientists' treatment of illustrations and tracing their motivation for including them in their works. What results is a fascinating and original study of the visual dimension of scientific knowledge in the sixteenth century.
Sachiko Kusukawa is a fellow in the history and philosophy of science at Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
對科學書籍中文本圖像關係非常考究的辨析。第三部分談vesalius的三點canonical body, teleological method, adjudicating authority,以及res, verba, pictura三者互動的論述都很到位。封底四位美國當今最著名的科學史傢(還都是女的)聯閤薦語太耀眼。
評分How scientists use illustrations as arguments for their scientific discoveries in Early Modern Europe. also touches upon the economics of publishing at that time, very revealing.
評分希望講image的部分能夠再多一點
