In this book scholars from ancient studies as well as early modern studies, art history, literary criticism, philosophy, and the history of science, explore that interplay in several influential ancient texts and their reception in the Renaissance. The Natural History of Pliny, De Architectura of Vitruvius, De Rerum Natura of Lucretius, Automata of Hero, and Timaios of Plato among other texts reveal how fields of inquiry now considered distinct were originally understood as closely interrelated. In our choice of texts, we focus on materialistic theories of nature, knowledge, and art that remain underappreciated in ancient and early modern studies even today"--Provided by publisher.NIKI Studies in Netherlandish-Italian Art History Material cultureHistoryEuropeCongressesMaterial culture in artCongressesMaterial culture in literatureCongressesMaterial cultureHistoryMaterial culture in artMaterial culture in literature306Hedreen Guy Michael1958-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826401703321Material world2820992UNINA00909nus2 2200229 i 450 CFI054951020251003044144.020000101a19..9999||||0itac50 baitbzu||||||||Individuo gruppo organizzazione.
