It was this work that led to the foundation of the modern science of ballistics. Tartaglia?s intention was to create a purely mathematical science based on axioms, which was fundamental to the entire subject of mechanics, starting with a limited number of principles and arriving at a series of propositions through a rigid procedure of deduction. Nevertheless, as Tartaglia himself states, his motive was fundamentally practical and connected to the activities of the sixteenth-century bombardier. A new edition of Nicoḷ Tartaglia?s "Nova scientia," based on the 1558 print run of the second enlarged edition (1550), shows how the emergence of theoretical ballistics was a consequence of the technological innovations that took place in the frame of the practice of iron casting at the turn from the fifteenth to the sixteenth century. 517 $aMetallurgy, Ballistics and Epistemic Instruments 531 $aMAX PLANCK RESEARCH LIBRARY FOR THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE / SOURCES ; 6 610 $aRenaissance 610 $aviolent motion 610 $aquadrant 610 $aMPRL 610 $aEdition Open Access 610 $ametallurgy 610 $aTartaglia 610 $amechanics 610 $aballistics 610 $aartillery 700 $aMatteo Valleriani$4auth$01323675 701 $aValleriani$bMatteo$0900879 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910134009903321 996 $aMetallurgy, Ballistics and Epistemic Instruments: The Nova scientia of Nicoḷ Tartaglia ?
