Optical Roots, Astronomical Fruits. Geometrical Optics and Astronomical Observations in Late Medieval Disputations in Paris and Leipzig

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Are the celestial bodies truly in the places where they are observed to be? Medieval responses to this question advocated two phenomena rooted in geometrical optics: parallax and atmospheric refraction. The paper traces the articulations of these problems in the general texts on optics and spherical astronomy and the elaborations in the commentaries on these textbooks and especially in the framework of disputations at the faculties of arts. Investigating the transmission of the issue from Paris to Central Europe, the paper focuses on two late medieval disputed questions: Nicole Oresme’s De visione stellarum disputed in Paris in the 1340s and Nicole Smylow of Hamburg’s positio from a 1440s Leipzig quodlibet.
