The supernova of 1604 marks a major turning point in the
cosmological crisis of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Capturing the eyes and imagination of Europe, it ignited an
explosion of ideas that forever changed the face of science.
Variously interpreted as a comet or star, the new luminary brought
together a broad network of scholars who debated the nature of the
novelty and its origins in the universe. At the heart of the
interdisciplinary discourse was Johannes Kepler, whose book On the
New Star (1606) assessed the many disputes of the day. Beginning
with several studies about Kepler's book, the authors of the
present volume explore the place of Kepler and the 'new star' in
early modern culture and religion, and how contemporary debate
shaped the course of science down to the present day. Contributors
are: (1) Dario Tessicini, (2) Christopher M. Graney, (3) Javier
Luna, (4) Patrick J. Boner, (5) Jonathan Regier, (6) Aviva Rothman,
(7) Miguel A. Granada, (8) Pietro Daniel Omodeo, (9) Matteo Cosci,
and (10) William P. Blair.
