When glass matters. Studies in the History of Science and Art from Graeco-Roman Antiquity to Early Modern Era.

cm 17 x 24, xiv-358 pp. con 18 figg. n.t. e 18 tavv. f.t. Biblioteca di ?Nuncius? Con questo volume si ? inteso affrontare il tema dei rapporti scienza e tecnica partendo dalla storia del vetro e illustrando l?interazione tra questo materiale e la cultura scientifica dell?Antichit? e del Medioevo. Entro questa prospettiva il caso del vetro ha offerto un esempio di notevole fecondit?, mostrando come lo sviluppo di teorie e conoscenze che gli storici hanno sempre considerato come il frutto esclusivo dell?attivit? intellettuale dipendessero in larga misura dai progressi delle tecniche di lavorazione realizzati da artigiani. This volume surveys the historical relations of science and technology by privileging the interaction between the history of glass and the scientific culture of classical Antiquity and the Middle Age. Within this perspective the case of glass has offered an extremely useful example, showing how the development of theories which have often been regarded as the exclusive result of intellectual activities were in fact the result of the progress of glassmaking techniques obtained by artisans.
