PICTURES AND ORDER -- $tNotes -- $tAbbreviations -- $tBibliography -- $tHe a d i n g s 330 $aSome years ago, David Freedberg opened a dusty cupboard at Windsor Castle and discovered hundreds of vividly colored, masterfully precise drawings of all sorts of plants and animals from the Old and New Worlds. Coming upon thousands more drawings like them across Europe, Freedberg finally traced them all back to a little-known scientific organization from seventeenth-century Italy called the Academy of Linceans (or Lynxes). Founded by Prince Federico Cesi in 1603, the Linceans took as their task nothing less than the documentation and classification of all of nature in pictorial form. In this first book-length study of the Linceans to appear in English, Freedberg focuses especially on their unprecedented use of drawings based on microscopic observation and other new techniques of visualization. Where previous thinkers had classified objects based mainly on similarities of external appearance, the Linceans instead turned increasingly to sectioning, dissection, and observation of internal structures. They applied their new research techniques to an incredible variety of subjects, from the objects in the heavens studied by their most famous (and infamous) member Galileo Galilei-whom they supported at the most critical moments of his career-to the flora and fauna of Mexico, bees, fossils, and the reproduction of plants and fungi. But by demonstrating the inadequacy of surface structures for ordering the world, the Linceans unwittingly planted the seeds for the demise of their own favorite method-visual description-as a mode of scientific classification. Profusely illustrated and engagingly written, Eye of the Lynx uncovers a crucial episode in the development of visual representation and natural history. And perhaps as important, it offers readers a dazzling array of early modern drawings, from magnificently depicted birds and flowers to frogs in amber, monstrously misshapen citrus fruits, and more. 606 $aScience$zItaly$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 676 $a509.45 686 $aTB 2355$2rvk 700 $aFreedberg$b David$0143719 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455579703321 996 $aThe eye of the Lynx$92219730 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03997nam 2200721 450 001 9910464703703321 005 20211008021733.0 010 $a0-8122-0948-6 024 7 $a10.9783/9780812209488 035 $a(CKB)3710000000092473 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001189737 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11682123 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001189737 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11177866 035 $a(PQKB)11557975 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3442347 035 $a(OCoLC)876736277 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse33001 035 $a(DE-B1597)449822 035 $a(OCoLC)878136213 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780812209488 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3442347 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10846135 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL682535 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000092473 100 $a20130912h20142014 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEvening news $eoptics, astronomy, and journalism in early modern Europe /$fEileen Reeves 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aPhiladelphia :$cUniversity of Pennsylvania Press,$d[2014] 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (315 pages) 225 1 $aMaterial texts 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 0 $a1-322-51253-1 311 0 $a0-8122-4574-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIntroduction --$tChapter 1.

She charts how the deployment of particular technologies of vision?the telescope and the camera obscura?were adapted to comply with evolving notions of objectivity, censorship, and civic awareness. Detailing the differences between various types of printed and manuscript news and the importance of regional, national, and religious distinctions, Evening News emphasizes the ways in which information moved between high and low genres and across geographical and confessional boundaries in the first decades of the seventeenth century. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aJournalism$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aNewspaper publishing$xEffect of technological innovations on$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aOptics$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aAstronomy$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJournalism$xHistory 615 0$aNewspaper publishing$xEffect of technological innovations on$xHistory 615 0$aOptics$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAstronomy$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a070.9/032 700 $aReeves$b Eileen Adair$01031053 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464703703321 996 $aEvening news$92470044 997 $aUNINA
