This book, edited by Kim Williams and Cosimo Monteleone, follows
the publication of two other books dedicated to Daniele Barbaro and
published by Springer: Daniele Barbaro's Vitruvius of 1567 (Kim
Williams, 2019) and Daniele Barbaro's Perspective of 1568 (Kim
Williams and Cosimo Monteleone, 2021). Therefore, it can be
considered another installment in a series that has deepened the
scientific treatises published by Daniele Barbaro. Due to the
numerous scientific interests that Barbaro matured in the years he
spent at the University of Padua, we have invited experts in these
topics to discuss Barbaro in relation to his training. In
particular, the book opens with the essays of the two editors to
frame its general theme in relation to mathematics. Cosimo
Monteleone addressed the relationship between Barbaro's perspective
theory with Euclid's optics, the Aristotelian process of knowledge
and the ophthalmological discoveries of the University of Padova in
the Renaissance. Kim Williams underlines how Barbaro's arithmetic
and geometry established `the most certain sciences' and set the
base of the `primary sciences'. A series of essays concerning
Barbaro's training at the University of Padua complete the
theoretical framework analyzed by the two editors. These studies
embrace the following subjects: mathematical instruments (Filippo
Camerota), astronomy and sundials (Cristiano Guarneri),
mathematics, geometry and polyhedral (Vera Viana), perspective and
anamorphosis (Agostino De Rosa), botany and the foundation of the
botanical garden (Stefano Zaggia), Vitruvius' architecture
(Ekaterina Igoshina, Ilya Anikyev, Anna Markova) and
Aristotelianism (Branko Mitrović). A foreword by Xavier Salomon
sets the stage for this book, outlining the innovations that
Barbaro brought to scientific knowledge. Barbaro's scientific
efforts are sometimes dismissed in recent studies as a compilation
of known principles. The aim of this present book is to reveal the
truly innovative nature of Barbaro's experiments and results and
restore him to his rightful place as an original scholar of
Renaissance.
