"This project investigates the knowledge tradition that is interwoven with the history of one book: De sphaera of Johannes de Sacrobosco. [...] Although The Sphere was not a commentary, it soon began undergoing a process of transformation by means of the practice of commenting and it became a mandatory course in all European universities up until the seventeenth century—well beyond the publication of Nicolaus Copernicus’ De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543, which proposed a heliocentric structure of the cosmos. The scientific tradition of this period is mirrored by the history of the treatise on The Sphere, which shaped the growing society of knowledge built around the growing number of universities, courts, and all places in which knowledge training took place, such as artist workshops, Abaco schools, and religiously-oriented centers. On the basis of an extended census of the historical sources, the project aims to reconstruct the transformation process—and its mechanisms—undergone by the treatise, and so to explore the evolutionary path, between the thirteenth and the seventeenth centuries, of the scientific system pivoted around cosmological knowledge: the shared scientific identity of Europe!"
