Krátky popis
Enter the mysterious world of sixteenth-century science, where
astronomers and alchemists shared laboratories, mixing magic with
mathematics. In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus declared the earth
revolved around the Sun. Centuries of scholastic presumption,
stretching back to the Ancients, were overturned. A new age was
coming into view – one guided by observation, technology and logic.
But omens, elixirs and alchemy did not disappear from the
sixteenth-century laboratory. Charms and potions could still be
found nestled between glistening brass instruments and
leather-bound tomes. The line between the natural and supernatural
remained porous, yet to be defined. From the icy Danish observatory
of Tycho Brahe, to the smoky, sulphur-stained workshop of John Dee,
Violet Moller tours the intellectual heart of early European
science. Exploring its rich, multidisciplinary culture, Inside the
Stargazer’s Palace reveals a dazzling forgotten world, where all
knowledge, no matter how arcane, was worth pursuing.
