De Sphaera of Johannes De Sacrobosco in the Early Modern Period

Even though cosmographers loved to drape their discipline in the ancient dignity of Ptolemy, actual manuals of cosmography often depended on Johannes de Sacrobosco's medieval introduction to spherical astronomy. In fact, certain strains of cosmography shared organization, principles, and even visual apparatus with Sacrobosco's Sphaera and its growing commentary tradition, to the extent that these cosmographies can be seen as themselves commenting on the Sphaera. This paper traces the origins of certain Renaissance cosmographical handbooks to the commentary on the Sphaera by Lefèvre d'Étaples and his colleagues at Paris around 1495. By focusing on the visual elements of this commentary, its instructions for calculating techniques, and the emergence of the "lathe" model of the "material sphere," this chapter argues that one of the mixed mathematical genres now seen as most characteristic of the Renaissance-cosmography-in fact was based on a medieval textbook. 1 I wish to thank Matteo Valleriani for helpful comments, the other contributors to this volume for stimulating conversation, and an anonymous reviewer for a useful suggestion.

Early Music History

Recent research on the library of Johann Caspar Trost the Elder, organist in Halberstadt, has led to the identification of a manuscript with two unknown treatises on musica poetica, one a lost treatise by Johann Hermann Schein and the other an unknown treatise by Michael Altenburg. Together they offer fresh insights into the learning and teaching of music in the early modern period. The books once owned by Trost also have close connections to his personal and professional life. This article situates the newly discovered manuscript in the framework of book history and Trost’s biography, and discusses the two treatises against the background of contemporary books of musical instruction (Calvisius, Lippius, or Finolt). The historical context of the manuscript, its theoretical sources and its origins all serve to contribute to and further the current understanding of musical education in early modern central Germany. An edition of the treatises is provided.
