Traditionally thought of as the home of the Counter-Reformation
papacy and of the Inquisition, Rome has never been regarded as a
major scientific centre. Yet the new research presented here, much
of it based on previously unstudied archival material, highlights
the special character of science and medicine in the city and its
institutions: academies (above all, the famous Accademia dei
Lincei), hospitals, libraries, monasteries, universities and
courts, as well as the papal Curia and the Congregation of the
Index. The approach is thoroughly interdisciplinary, ranging over
many disciplines - engineering, architecture, chemistry, botany,
mathematics, astronomy and geography - and covering a diversity of
topics, from atlases and anatomical illustration to sudden death
and autopsies, from authorship and censorship to patronage and the
Republic of Letters.
