在过去半个世纪关于欧洲科学革命的所有优秀研究中，对早期现代苏格兰科学史的研究一直是一种糟糕的关系。1天文学和数学领域一直是一个特别的学术焦点，因为人们对哥白尼在16世纪中期出版的《革命》，第谷·布拉赫在16世纪末的活动，以及他的学生约翰尼斯·开普勒在17世纪初的活动产生了反响。那些通过苏格兰教育系统的人在这一特定领域发挥的作用是重要的。已经对这些人进行了一些工作；2然而，关于苏格兰在早期现代时期整个科学状况的讨论很少或根本没有。在某种程度上，我们对这场辩论中苏格兰领域性质的不完整图景是由两个主要因素决定的：用来探讨这个问题的文学形式(不完整的散文和神秘的诗歌形式的混合，几乎没有书信体的证据--在欧洲背景下，这种东西比比皆是)；以及用来研究它的语言(经典的拉丁语)。关于拉丁文学的文化宇宙的研究，早期现代科学是通过它进行的，现在是1，这些研究是巨大的。T.Kuhn的《科学革命的结构》(芝加哥，1962)提供了关于这一时期及其意义的第一次重大讨论。《哥白尼和他的继任者》(剑桥，1995)是一本罗森的散文集，内容涉及与哥白尼的余波有关的各种主题。关于这一时期重要人物的其他研究
The study of the history of science in early-modern Scotland has been something of a poor relation amid all of the excellent studies in the past halfcentury on the scientific revolution in Europe. 1 The fields of astronomy and mathematics have been a particular scholarly focus, because of the reaction to the publication of Copernicus’ De Revolutionibus in the mid-sixteenth century, Tycho Brahe’s activities in the late-sixteenth century, and those of his student Johannes Kepler in the early-seventeenth century. The role played by those who passed through the Scottish education system in this particular field was significant. Some work has been carried out on these individuals; 2 however, there has been little or no discussion on the state of science within Scotland as a whole in the early-modern period. In part, our incomplete picture of the nature of the Scottish sphere of this debate has been determined by two main factors: the literary forms employed to explore the question (a mix of incomplete prose and arcane poetic forms, with little epistolary evidence—something that is in abundance in a European context); and the language used to examine it (classicising Latin). Studies on the cultural universe of the Latin literature through which early modern science was conducted are now at the1 The studies are vast. T. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (Chicago, 1962) provided the first major discussion of the period and its significance. E. Rosen, Copernicus and his Successors (Cambridge, 1995), is a collection of essays, all by Rosen, on various subjects relating to the fallout from Copernicus.
