Críticas
"A remarkably clear picture of Renaissance culture through its imaginative speculations on the order of the universe." - The Sixteenth Century Journal; "Each figure is analyzed and set in context by... a connected and readable exposition illustrated in detail." - Scientific American; "Will be of great interest not only to students of Renaissance cosmology but also to anyone interested in the arts that influenced and were influenced by cosmology." - Shakespeare Quarterly"
Reseña del editor
What are the parts of the universe? How are they arranged? Where are its center and its boundaries? What forces control its motion? "Cosmographical Glass" features more than 100 astronomical and mythical diagrams from books printed before 1700, revealing how people of the Renaissance answered these complicated questions. Throughout this period, which one historian has called 'the most psychically disturbed era in European history', the universe was depicted as a rational arrangement of disparate parts. The author bridges the gap between the Renaissance and today by explaining in detail these astronomical, mythical, and alchemical maps of the universe.
