项目摘要

SES 00-80445 - A. Mark Smith (University of Missouri - Columbia) - "Alhacen Edition, 4-5"The goal of this project is to complete a critical edition, with English translation and scholarly annotation, of books 4-5 of the medieval Latin version of Alhacen's Kitab al-Manazir ("Treatise on Optics"), a comprehensive treatment of light and sight in seven books. Composed in Arabic in the very early eleventh century, this treatise was rendered into Latin some two centuries later under the title De aspectibus. In that form it quickly became a canonical source for optical thought in the Latin West, inspiring a series of important derivative works (above all those of the "Perspectivist" authors Roger Bacon, John Pecham, and Witelo) and also serving as a primary text in the teaching of optics until the early seventeenth century. Both directly and indirectly, then, Alhacen's De aspectibus played a critical role in the formation of medieval and Renaissance ideas about light, color and visual representation. Unlike the first three books of the De aspectibus, which deal with visual perception in general, books 4 and 5 are devoted specifically to reflection and the formation of point-images in plane, convex and concave mirrors. Remarkable for both its originality and its mathematical sophistication, Alhacen's analysis of image-location in book 5 served as the benchmark for the study not only of reflection but also for mathematics in the later Middle Ages. The proposed critical edition will make this portion of Alhacen's work accessible in definitive form not only to specialists in the history of science but also to those with more general interests in medieval and Renaissance intellectual and cultural history.

SES 00-80445 - A。Mark Smith（密苏里州大学-哥伦比亚）-“Alhacen版，4-5“该项目的目标是完成一个关键版本，与英语翻译和学术注释，第4-5册的中世纪拉丁文版本的Alhacen的Kitab al-Manazir（“光学”），一个全面的治疗光和视觉的七本书。在阿拉伯语组成的非常早期的第十一世纪，这篇论文被渲染成拉丁美洲一些两个世纪后的标题德aspectibus。在这种形式下，它迅速成为拉丁美洲西方光学思想的经典来源，激发了一系列重要的衍生作品（首先是“透视主义”作家罗杰·培根、约翰·佩查姆和维特洛的作品），并一直作为光学教学的主要文本，直到世纪初。无论是直接还是间接，阿尔哈森的De aspectibus在中世纪和文艺复兴时期关于光，颜色和视觉表现的思想的形成中发挥了关键作用。与前三本书的德aspectibus，其中涉及的视觉感知一般，书籍4和5是专门用于反射和形成点图像在平面，凸，凹镜子。卓越的独创性和数学的复杂性，阿尔哈森的分析图像位置在第5册担任基准研究不仅反映，而且数学在中世纪后期。拟议的关键版本将使这部分阿尔哈森的工作在最终的形式访问不仅在科学史上的专家，但也对那些在中世纪和文艺复兴时期的知识和文化史更普遍的利益。
