The interplay between nature, science, and art in antiquity and the
early modern period differs significantly from late modern
expectations. In this book scholars from ancient studies as well as
early modern studies, art history, literary criticism, philosophy,
and the history of science, explore that interplay in several
influential ancient texts and their reception in the Renaissance.
The Natural History of Pliny, De Architectura of Vitruvius, De
Rerum Natura of Lucretius, Automata of Hero, and Timaios of Plato
among other texts reveal how fields of inquiry now considered
distinct were originally understood as closely interrelated. In our
choice of texts, we focus on materialistic theories of nature,
knowledge, and art that remain underappreciated in ancient and
early modern studies even today.
