本文分析了詹姆斯·佩蒂弗重新发现的一本日记，记录了他在1691年的一次旅行。在为期两个月的旅行中，Petiver离开了他在肯德尔的家，前往约克郡，随后访问了牛津、埃塞克斯和伦敦，对植物进行了研究，并观看了科学收藏品。佩蒂弗的日记代表了一种新兴的早期现代形式的科学漫游--“移动中的科学”--从1650年到1750年在英国盛行。还不是正式的田野工作，也不像大巡回赛的体验那样奢侈，科学巡回赛是发展自然的经验专业知识的一种手段，无论是人工的还是实地的。我对佩蒂弗日记的分析代表了一种人文田野工作的形式，给出了对自然历史标本、旅行方式、著名文物和其他证据的洞察，这些证据使我们能够重建这位早期现代艺术家和科学收藏家的精神世界。这份报纸包括该日记的在线附注版本。
This paper analyses a rediscovered diary by James Petiver, recording a journey he made in 1691. During his two-month trip, Petiver left his home in Kendal, travelled to Yorkshire, and subsequently visited Oxford, Essex, and London to botanize and to view scientific collections. Petiver’s diary represents a nascent early modern form of scientific peregrination – ‘science on the move’ – that was prevalent in England from 1650 to 1750. Not yet formal fieldwork, not as sybaritic as the experience of the Grand Tour, scientific peregrination was a means of developing empirical expertise of naturalia, both artificial and in the field. My analysis of Petiver’s diary represents a form of humanistic fieldwork, giving insights into the natural history specimens, mode of travel, noted antiquities, and other evidence that allow us to reconstruct the mental world of the early modern virtuoso and scientific collector. The paper includes an online annotated edition of the diary.
