Modus notandi
This paper seeks to make a contribution to the history of early modern note-taking by examining the note-taking practices of Sir Charles Cavendish (1591–1653). Rather than viewing the notes as records and memoranda for strictly personal use, Cavendish’s notes are seen as a repository of information which he shared with other scholars. Note-taking and the recording of “quaeres” are shown to be socially extensive, involving exchanges via correspond…

The Curious Ways to Observe Weight in Water’
This paper explores the experiments of the English mathematician Thomas Harriot (1560-1621) on specific gravity in the years 1600-1605, as recorded in a series of manuscript notes in British Library Add. MS 6788. It examines the programme of reading undertaken by Harriot before (or during) these experiments (including works by Jean Bodin, Giovanni Battista della Porta, Gerard de Malynes, Gaston du Clo, and Juan Bautista Villalpando), and describe…

An Early European Critic of Hobbes’s De Corpore
The Animadversiones in Elementorum Philosophiae by a little known Flemish scholar G. Moranus, published in Brussels in 1655 was an early European response to Hobbes’s De Corpore . Although it is has been referred to by various Hobbes scholars, such as Noel Malcolm, Doug Jesseph, and Alexander Bird it has been little studied. Previous scholarship has tended to focus on the mathematical criticisms of André Tacquet which Moranus included in the form…
Memory in the Renaissance and Early Modern Period
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries there was an important shift in the concept of memory from being regarded as a distinct part of the sensitive faculties within an essentially Aristotelian psychology to being regarded as one intellective function among others in a unified intellect. There is a corresponding shift between memory construed primarily as an aid to the practical realms governed by rhetoric and dialectic, and memory as the…

Laus Platonici Philosophi
This collection of essays presents new work on the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) which explores aspects of Ficino’s own thought and the sources which he used, and traces his influence on the philosophy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Pythagorean Number Symbolism, Alchemy, and the Disciplina Noua of John Dee's Monas Hieroglyphica
Tant dans sa Monas Hieroglyphica (1564) que dans sa Mathematical Praeface (1570), John Dee défend une vue des mathématiques qui se veut compatible avec l'idée d'un 'Pythagoricall, and Platonicall perfect scholer'. Cet article montre que ce furent les doctrines arithmologiques contenues dans les épîtres de Trithème—lues par Dee dans une copie du De vsu et mysteriis notarum (1550), qu'il acheta à Anvers en 1562/3—qui exercèrent sur les doctrines py…

Poem, Theorem
Cultural phenomenology and the everyday
The Infinite Variety of Formes and Magnitudes
In this article, I argue that the interest on the part of Bacon, Hill, and Warner in corpuscularian interpretations of natural phenomena and their similarity to certain views later held by Digby or Boyle offer a strong indication for the existence of an 'independent English atomistic milieu', a view that fits more closely Porter & Teich's recent model of national contexts for early modern science than Kargon's traditional picture of English atomi…
