At the Edge of the Republic of Scientists: the East-West Routes of Scientific Communication in Europe in the Age of Experiment (1650-1680)

Cel

Eastways of Science aims to implement Highways of Science, the project that Favino is still carrying on thanks to a Marie Curie EIF. Highways of Science purposes to use electronic sources to publish on-line ac accurate map of the network constituting the Republique des lettres in the age of Scientific Revolution. It aims to construct a prototype of a multitask data-base user-friendly, that takes into account evidence gathered from scientific and learned correspondences (personal biographies, scientific institutions, instruments, natural specimina and objects, places related to scientific practices) so as to define and highlight the contents, the networks and the ways of transmission of cultural and scientific information in early modern West Europe. Information will be arranged and available in a spatial fashion, so as to construct a map of information fluxes in that cultural space, following the model of a traffic stream visualized on a luminous screen.
Eastways of Science purposes to extend such inquiry to middle-east Europe, especially Poland and the border of the Habsburgh Empire (Moravia, Bohemia, Hungary and Romany) in the second half of XVIIth century. To succeed in, the researcher and the host institution plan to cooperate with academies and research institutes in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovack Republic and Romany who are working on electronic editions of sources of historical interest. The ERG program is for Favino an extraordinary opportunity to reintegrate the Italian university and to obtain a long-term job at the University of Teramo.
