The new critical edition of Heron?s Mechanics, presented here with a full
discussion of all its manuscript sources, is the consequence of the unexpected
discovery of four Persian manuscripts, which opened an unexplored field for
research and offered new perspectives, both philological and scientific, in
interpreting this text.
Hosszú leírás:
The three books of Heron?s Mechanics contain the first systematic theory of simple and
compound machines in the history of science, and many other remarkable matters
about theoretical and practical mechanics, including three interesting unknown
theories by Archimedes. This treatise began to circulate among Western researchers
through an Arabic manuscript discovered by Camille Carra de Vaux, who published
it together with a French translation in 1893. A German critical edition by Ludwig
Leo Nix (1900) and an English one by Aage Gerhardt Drachmann (1963) were then
published after this edition. The new critical edition, with a full presentation of all
the manuscript sources for the work, is the consequence of the unexpected discovery
of four Persian manuscripts, all concerning the second book of this important
treatise on mechanics, which opened an unexplored field of research and offered
new perspectives, both philological and scientific, in interpreting the text. At the
same time, analysis of the work has revealed passages very similar to corresponding
passages in works by Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei, advancing the possibility
that Italian scientists of the Renaissance may have been familiar with all or at least
part of Heron?s Mechanics.
