Abstract

L’embryon humain est-il un végétal qui devient un animal lorsqu’il sort à la lumière et reçoit une âme dont l’intelligence ne se manifestera qu’à partir de l’âge de raison? C’est bien ce que soutient un traité ancien qui fut d’abord attribué à Galien, le célèbre médecin de l’époque impériale, mais qui l’est désormais à Porphyre, le disciple de Plotin. Cette définition de l’embryon s’oppose à ce qu’Hippocrate, Aristote, les stoïciens ou encore la Genèse enseignaient sur l’origine de la vie humaine; elle s’inscrit également en faux contre l’opinion commune, qui penchait plutôt pour une formation et une animation progressives de l’embryon. Le débat dans lequel ce texte s’inscrit se poursuivra dans les traditions hébraïque, chrétienne et islamique. Avec les recherches menées au XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècles, la question de la formation et de l’animation de l’embryon deviendra l’objet d’un savoir biologique, qui ne cessera de se développer. Et pourtant, en dépit de découvertes scientifiques étonnantes et d’innovations techniques prodigieuses, les questions philosophiques et théologiques que les textes anciens posaient sur la formation et l’animation de l’embryon gardent toute leur actualité. Ce recueil en propose une synthèse, la plus complète possible.

Abstract

Modern mechanics was forged in the seventeenth century from materials inherited from Antiquity and transformed in the period from the Middle Ages through to the sixteenth century. These materials were transmitted through a number of textual traditions and within several disciplines and practices, including ancient and medieval natural philosophy, statics, the theory and design of machines, and mathematics. This volume deals with a variety of moments in the history of mechanics when conflicts arose within one textual tradition, between different traditions, or between textual traditions and the wider world of practice. Its purpose is to show how the accommodations sometimes made in the course of these conflicts ultimately contributed to the emergence of modern mechanics. The first part of the volume is concerned with ancient mechanics and its transformations in the Middle Ages; the second part with the reappropriation of ancient mechanics and especially with the reception of the Pseudo-Aristotelian Mechanica in the Renaissance; and the third and final part, with early-modern mechanics in specific social, national, and institutional contexts.

Abstract

Medieval translators played an important role in the development and evolution of a scientific lexicon. At a time when most scholars deferred to authority, the translations of canonical texts assumed great importance. Moreover, translation occurred at two levels in the Middle Ages. First, Greek or Arabic texts were translated into the learned language, Latin. Second, Latin texts became source-texts themselves, to be translated into the vernaculars as their importance across Europe started to increase. The situation of the respective translators at these two levels was fundamentally different:
