Especially Giuseppe's outstanding production of innovating clocks, telescopes, and microscopes, attracted the attention of the most important scientific characters and experimental academies of the time. This posthumous book by Silvio Bedini is the result of a fifty-year-long study that will serve not just as a reference work for scholars interested in seventeenth-century clockmaking, practical optics, astronomy, and science and technology in general, but it also will provide you with unique insights into the scientific and technological landscape of baroque Rome and its links to a broader European scene. And thanks to the author's narrative and many illustrations, it will make a complex story an enjoyable read for non-specialists"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aNuncius series ;$vVolume 8. 606 $aClock and watch making$zItaly$vBiography 615 0$aClock and watch making 676 $a681.113092 700 $aBedini$b Silvio A.$0452314 702 $aZanetti$b Cristiano$f1975- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816893403321 996 $aGiuseppe Campani, "Inventor Romae," an uncommon genius$94064010 997 $aUNINA
