Abstract

A Chronicle of Pre-Telescopic Astronomy Barry Hetherington Astronomy, the oldest of the sciences, has a history which goes back thousands of years. Civilizations throughout the world recorded events which they observed, including eclipses of the sun and moon, and the behaviour of meteors, comets and stars. These observations contain a wealth of information which is of great importance and interest to the modern day astronomer. A Chronicle of Pre-Telescopic Astronomy presents a chronological record of all types of account of astronomical discoveries and events from all nations, from the earliest times to the year AD 1609, the year in which the telescope was first used. As such, it provides a unique history of mankind's changing view of the Universe. Useful biographies of the major figures are given, including details of the conflicts and rivalries between astronomers, and between astronomers and the authorities. A Chronicle of Pre-Telescopic Astronomy will be of great value to all modern day astronomers. Amateur astronomers and all those interested in the history of astronomy will also find it a fascinating source of information. The index of some 1000 names, together with an extensive subject index, make this an especially accessible and valuable work. The referencing of every entry in the work facilitates further investigation of the literature, making A Chronicle of Pre-Telescopic Astronomy an absorbing and enduring reference source.

Abstract

Today few would think of astronomy and astrology as fields related to theology. Fewer still would know that physically absorbing planetary rays was once considered to have medical and psychological effects. But this was the understanding of light radiation held by certain natural philosophers of early modern Europe, and that, argues Mary Quinlan-McGrath, was why educated people of the Renaissance commissioned artworks centered on astrological themes and practices. Influences is the first book to reveal how important Renaissance artworks were designed to be not only beautiful but also-perhaps even primarily-functional. From the fresco cycles at Caprarola, to the Vatican's Sala dei Pontefici, to the Villa Farnesina, these great works were commissioned to selectively capture and then transmit celestial radiation, influencing the bodies and minds of their audiences. Quinlan-McGrath examines the sophisticated logic behind these theories and practices and, along the way, sheds light on early creation theory; the relationship between astrology and natural theology; and the protochemistry, physics, and mathematics of rays. An original and intellectually stimulating study, Influences adds a new dimension to the understanding of aesthetics among Renaissance patrons and a new meaning to the seductive powers of art.
