Noscemus Wiki

This database in the form of a Semantic Media Wiki (SMW) presents a selection of early modern works on science written in Latin along with their authors and some secondary literature. This selection does not constitute an anthology, as works famous for their authors, their groundbreaking character or other reasons are neither included nor excluded in a systematic way. Rather, the collection is intended to be representative of Latin literature’s engagement with contemporary science in terms of chronological spread, literary forms and scientific disciplines. In accordance with the project’s epistemological interest, the descriptions of the single works focus on their literary features such as structure, style and terminology. Their contents are outlined as far as necessary to that end.

The NOSCEMUS project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. [741374]).
