  • Eschatology, Divination, and Gassendi’s Encounter with Spanish-Netherlandish Natural Philosophy (1629)

    STEVEN VANDEN BROECKEARTICLEErudition and the Republic of…2023

    Scholars have tended to focus on Gassendi’s relations with the mathematical, natural-philosophical, and erudite interlocutors he encountered in the Republic. This sits uneasily with the fact that Gassendi’s time in the Spanish Netherlands was about three times as long as his stay in the Republic (i.e., six weeks vs. two weeks). Drawing on the deep engagement with eschatology and divination of Gassendi’s close friend Govaert Wendelen (1580–1667) i…

  • Astrological Self-Government at the Fifteenth-Century Court of Bourbon

    STEVEN VANDEN BROECKEARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine2023

    In articulating the uses of their art, late-medieval astrologers often invoked the maxim that “the wise man will rule the stars” ( sapiens dominabitur astris ). However, it is by no means clear whether this invocation sought to emphasize ‘domination’ over the natural and social world, or the ontological self-government that is at stake in the pursuit of ‘wisdom’. Many historians have interpreted the past pursuit of astrology in terms of an intere…

  • The Use of Visual Media in Renaissance Cosmography

    STEVEN VANDEN BROECKEARTICLEPaedagogica Historica2000Cited by: 1

    Peter Apian's Cosmography (1524) first reached a large audience through the re‐editions of the Leuven mathematician Gemma Frisius. The book seems to have been intended as a didactic tool for use in a largely auto‐didactic and non‐institutionalised context. This disciplinary situation entailed the necessity of legitimation, which was partially attained by visual reference to instruments, available from the cosmographer‐instrumentmaker. Realistic d…
