Capturing, Modeling, Overseeing, and Making Credible: The Functions of Vision and Visual Material at the Accademia del Cimento
No full textThe Accademia del Cimento (Florence) is the first European academy to be supported by a public power and to put experimentation at the core of scientific activity. During its activity (1657–1667), the Cimento carried out hundreds of experiments. A minor part of them is collected in the only printed work produced by the Accademia, the Saggi di Naturali Esperienze (1667). Almost one hundred illustrations accompany the twelve groups of experiments presented in the Saggi. They are mainly drawings of instruments and experimental apparatus. In spite of the sumptuousness of the edition, these drawings are characterized by a functional simplicity. Tables, diagrams and illustrations also punctuate diaries, handwritten notes and correspondence. A study of the unpublished documents shows the role of visual images in experimental design and allows to explore the wider problem of the relationship between thought and vision. This contribution analyses the epistemic function of vision in the Cimento’s experiments and debates around the issue of natural freezing and the properties of heat and cold. Discussions on the topic include geometrical demonstrations and mathematical representations, punctually excluded from the Saggi but occasionally resumed by individual members in later works
An Indirect Convergence between the Accademia del Cimento and the Montmor Academy: The ‘Saturn Dispute’
No full textThe purpose of the present chapter is to examine an indirect (albeit significant) point of contact between the Florentine academy, later known as the Accademia del Cimento, and the so-called Montmor Academy: their role in the “Saturn dispute”. In particular, this essay intends to demonstrate how, despite fragmentary evidence and often interrupted exchanges, the issue of the planet’s strange appearances offers a unique standpoint from which to assess the interests and the ways in which the two societies operated, as well as the nature of their relations
