Abstract

Athanasius Kircher (1601/2-1680) fut l'un des derniers polygraphes du monde occidental. En dépit des avancements des dernières décennies, les études sur ce savant souffrent encore d'un retard accumulé il y a plus qu'un siècle ; une lacune majeure concerne son autobiographie (Vita, Augsbourg 1684). Ce travail se propose d'étudier cet ouvrage en adoptant une approche philologique, afin de parvenir à une analyse contextualisée de ses contenus. Pour la première fois, le texte original latin de la Vita est intégralement publié, amendé et traduit en français et en italien. Une confrontation directe est instituée entre les éléments essentiels de la biographie historique de Kircher (préalablement reconstruits grâce aux sources manuscrites et à la littérature secondaire) et le récit autobiographique. Les données tirées de l'exégèse du texte sont ensuite employées pour aborder d'un nouveau point de vue certains lieux de la biographie de Kircher qui ont toujours fait l'objet de descriptions divergentes de la part des critiques. De même, les décalages entre le texte de la Vita et les faits historiques avérés sont employés comme point de départ pour un questionnement des matériels qui permet de mettre en évidence un remaniement volontaire et conscient des données de la part de Kircher.

Abstract

A contemporary of Descartes and Newton, Athanasius Kircher, S. J. (1601/2-80), was one of Europe's most inventive and versatile scholars in the baroque era. He published more than thirty works in fields as diverse as astronomy, magnetism, cryptology, numerology, geology, and music. But Kircher is most famous-or infamous-for his quixotic attempt to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs and reconstruct the ancient traditions they encoded. In 1655, after more than two decades of toil, Kircher published his solution to the hieroglyphs, Oedipus Aegyptiacus, a work that has been called "one of the most learned monstrosities of all times." Here Daniel Stolzenberg presents a new interpretation of Kircher's hieroglyphic studies, placing them in the context of seventeenth-century scholarship on paganism and Oriental languages. Situating Kircher in the social world of baroque Rome, with its scholars, artists, patrons, and censors, Stolzenberg shows how Kircher's study of ancient paganism depended on the circulation of texts, artifacts, and people between Christian and Islamic civilizations. Along with other participants in the rise of Oriental studies, Kircher aimed to revolutionize the study of the past by mastering Near Eastern languages and recovering ancient manuscripts hidden away in the legendary libraries of Cairo and Damascus. The spectacular flaws of his scholarship have fostered an image of Kircher as an eccentric anachronism, a throwback to the Renaissance hermetic tradition. Stolzenberg argues against this view, showing how Kircher embodied essential tensions of a pivotal phase in European intellectual history, when pre-Enlightenment scholars pioneered modern empirical methods of studying the past while still working within traditional frameworks, such as biblical history and beliefs about magic and esoteric wisdom.

Abstract

Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) -- German Jesuit, occultist, polymath - was one of most curious figures in the history of science. He dabbled in all the mysteries of his time: the heavenly bodies, sound amplification, museology, botany, Asian languages, the pyramids of Egypt -- almost anything incompletely understood. Kircher coined the term electromagnetism, printed Sanskrit for the first time in a Western book, and built a famous museum collection. His wild, beautifully illustrated books are sometimes visionary, frequently wrong, and yet compelling documents in the history of ideas. They are being rediscovered in our own time. This volume contains new essays on Kircher and his world by leading historians and historians of science, including Stephen Jay Gould, Ingrid Rowland, Anthony Grafton, Daniel Stoltzenberg, Paula Findlen, and Barbara Stafford.-
