Northern Networks: Astronomical and Medical Knowledge from the Baltic to East Central Europe, 1550-1750

英语国家的学术界以牺牲北方和波罗的海地区的知识创造（和分享）为代价，极大地保护了近代早期欧洲的通信史。我们的研讨会系列回应了这一差距，主要目的是绘制一幅跨越北方欧洲学习中心的新地图。目标是双重的。首先，该网络强调了学术流动性的影响，通过早期的现代移民的人和思想，确定，第一次，从波罗的海到中欧的认识统一，连接的地理区域，否则可能似乎是分开的。其次，这一重点促进了更密切的，跨学科的早期现代知识的集合，迄今已被边缘化的英语学术工作。该网络超越国家和学科界限，汇集了来自英国，欧洲大陆和北美的知识历史学家，科学历史学家，文学学者，艺术历史学家，海事历史学家，语言学家和策展人。北方网络为这些不同的学术团体提供了一个平台-他们很少在研究中合作-以满足，分享和扩展早期现代北方欧洲未充分研究的知识网络的知识。第一次研讨会将于2022年3月在阿伯丁大学举行。重点将放在十六和十七世纪的医学研究和苏格兰和欧洲大陆之间的学术流动性。我们的目标是，利用邓肯赖斯爵士图书馆丰富的馆藏，重新考虑医学研究中的外国交易，这些交易为艾萨克·牛顿在不列颠群岛的时代铺平了道路。这次研讨会将特别关注医生邓肯利德尔（1561-1613）的档案和出生于爱丁堡的医生约翰克雷格（死于1620年）的工作，他是詹姆斯六世的第一位医生，后来是英格兰的詹姆斯一世，也是一位执业天文学家。这两个研究的地理重点和指定的时间段已被过去的学术界所忽视，往往集中在大陆的学术活动在“共和国的字母”，后来在十七世纪。第二次研讨会发生在捷克科学院在布拉格。我们这次聚会的学科重点是收集的历史，方法论是手工认识论，或作为一种认识方式，这使得中欧数学社区的全新研究与他们的北方同行进行谈判。我们之所以选择布拉格，是因为开普勒和第谷·布拉赫的著名存在，但也是为了补充阿伯丁和乌普萨拉的主要帝国宫廷。在这个框架内，我们将试图突出伊拉斯谟·哈伯梅尔（1538-1606）、约斯特·比尔吉（1552-1632）和布拉格钟表匠海因里希·斯托尔（Heinrich Stolle）等制造商丰富的宇宙学作品。在当地学者现有专业知识的基础上，他们将“解剖”一些选定的作品，这个基于对象的研讨会充分利用了我们在本次投标的管理部分中解释的数字传播。第三个研讨会将于2023年3月在乌普萨拉大学举行。卡罗莱纳雷迪维瓦图书馆收藏了被称为《哥白尼》的早期现代天文学文献，据信是波兰天文学家尼古拉斯·哥白尼（1473-1543）所拥有的--这是世界上与他的出处有关的文献数量最多的一次。除了对哥白尼研究的宝贵贡献外，该图书馆还为沃勒收藏的早期现代医学研究历史提供了丰富的资源，其中包括从中世纪到20世纪50年代的50，000多部自然哲学作品。随着这些非凡的档案的内容为重点，本次研讨会将重新考虑大量的，但显着不足，早期现代瑞典的贡献，北方欧洲的知识网络。

Anglophone scholarship has overwhelmingly privileged the history of correspondence in early modern Europe at the expense of knowledge-making (and sharing) across Northern and Baltic locations. Our workshop series responds to this gap, with the primary aim of drawing a new map across Northern European centres of learning. The objective is twofold. Firstly, the network emphasises the impact of academic mobility through the early modern migration of people and ideas, identifying, for the first time, an epistemic unity from the Baltic to Central Europe which linked geographical areas that might otherwise seem separate. Secondly, this focus fosters closer, interdisciplinary work on collections of early modern knowledge that have been hitherto marginalised within Anglophone scholarship. The network transcends national and disciplinary boundaries by bringing together intellectual historians, historians of science, literary scholars, art historians, maritime historians, linguists, and curators, from the UK, continental Europe, and North America. Northern Networks provides a platform for these different academic communities - who rarely otherwise collaborate in research - to meet, share and expand knowledge of the understudied intellectual networks across early modern Northern Europe.The first workshop will be held at the University of Aberdeen in March 2022. The focus will be on sixteenth and seventeenth-century medical research and academic mobility between Scotland and continental Europe. Our aim, drawing on the rich collections at the Sir Duncan Rice Library, is to reconsider the foreign transactions in medical research that paved the way to Isaac Newton's era in the British Isles. This workshop will focus especially on the archive of the physician Duncan Liddel (1561-1613) and the work of the Edinburgh-born medical practitioner John Craig (died 1620), who was first physician to James VI, later James I of England, and a practicing astronomer. Both the geographical focus and the designated time period of this research have been overlooked by past scholarship, which has tended to focus on continental academic activity during the 'Republic of Letters', later in the seventeenth century.The second workshop takes place at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. Our disciplinary focus for this gathering is the history of collecting, and the methodology is artisanal epistemology, or making as a way of knowing, which enables a brand new study of mathematical communities in Central Europe who negotiated with their Northern counterparts. We chose Prague because of the well-known presence of Kepler and Tycho Brahe, but also to complement Aberdeen and Uppsala with a major imperial court. Within this scheme, we will attempt to highlight the rich cosmological production of makers such as Erasmus Habermel (1538-1606), Joost Bürgi (1552-1632) and the Prague-born clockmaker Heinrich Stolle. Building on the existing expertise of local scholars, who will 'dissect' a few selected pieces, this object-based workshop makes full use of the digital dissemination we explain in our management section of this bid.The third workshop will be at Uppsala University in March 2023. The Carolina Rediviva Library houses a collection of early modern astronomical texts known as the Copernicana, thought to have been owned by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) - the largest number of texts with his provenance in the world. In addition to its invaluable contribution to Copernican studies, the library also provides rich resources for the history of early modern medical research in the Waller Collections, which hold over 50,000 natural philosophical works dating from the middle ages to the 1950s. With a focus on the contents of these extraordinary archives, this workshop will reconsider the substantial, yet significantly understudied, early modern Swedish contribution to Northern European intellectual networks.
