Cartesian and Newtonian authors: a database
收藏资源简介:
The database collects entries in the libraries at Oxford and Cambridge of several Cartesian and Newtonian authors. It aims to chart the diffusion of works published between 1637 (when Descartes’s Discours de la méthode was published) and 1735 (when the third English edition of Jacques Rohault’s Traité de physique was printed in London). All works are either authored by or connected in the library catalogues to the following two groups of early modern figures: René Descartes (1596–1650) and the Cartesians Jacques Rohault (1618–1672), Antoine Le Grand (1629–1699), Pierre-Sylvain Régis (1632–1707), Nicolas Malebranche (1638–1715) Isaac Newton (1642–1727) and the Newtonians David Gregory (1659–1708), William Whiston (1667–1752), John Keill (1671–1721), Samuel Clarke (1675–1729), Roger Cotes (1682–1716) The list is derived from the authors studied in the research project “Making Modern Science: tracing the dynamics of a ‘Cartesian Newtonian textbook’ during the Scientific Revolution” (October 2020–October 2022: https://cartesian.unibuc.ro/s/making-modern-science). It is centred upon Jacques Rohault and his famous Traité de physique of 1671. More generally, the project aims to map relations between Cartesians and Newtonians. This work was supported by a grant of Ministry of Research and Innovation, CNCS - UEFISCDI, project number PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2019-0841, within PNCDI III: “Making Modern Science: tracing the dynamics of a ‘Cartesian Newtonian textbook’ during the Scientific Revolution” (CartesianPhysics).
本数据库收录牛津大学与剑桥大学图书馆中若干笛卡尔学派与牛顿学派学者的馆藏文献条目,旨在绘制1637年(勒内·笛卡尔《谈谈方法》(Discours de la méthode)出版之年)至1735年(雅克·罗奥《物理学教程》(Traité de physique)第三英译本于伦敦付梓之年)间出版著作的传播脉络。所有馆藏作品要么出自以下两组近代早期学者,要么在图书馆目录中与该两组学者存在关联: ### 笛卡尔学派学者 勒内·笛卡尔(René Descartes,1596–1650)及其学派成员:雅克·罗奥(Jacques Rohault,1618–1672)、安托万·勒格朗(Antoine Le Grand,1629–1699)、皮埃尔-西尔万·雷吉斯(Pierre-Sylvain Régis,1632–1707)、尼古拉·马勒伯朗士(Nicolas Malebranche,1638–1715) ### 牛顿学派学者 艾萨克·牛顿(Isaac Newton,1642–1727)及其学派成员:大卫·格雷戈里(David Gregory,1659–1708)、威廉·惠斯顿(William Whiston,1667–1752)、约翰·基尔(John Keill,1671–1721)、塞缪尔·克拉克(Samuel Clarke,1675–1729)、罗杰·科茨(Roger Cotes,1682–1716) 本数据集的作者列表源自2020年10月至2022年10月开展的研究项目《打造现代科学:追溯科学革命期间“笛卡尔-牛顿学派教科书”的发展动态》(https://cartesian.unibuc.ro/s/making-modern-science)所覆盖的研究对象。该项目以雅克·罗奥及其1671年版经典著作《物理学教程》为核心研究对象,整体目标为梳理笛卡尔学派(Cartesians)与牛顿学派(Newtonians)之间的学术关联。 本研究获罗马尼亚研究与创新部、CNCS-UEFISCDI资助,项目编号为PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2019-0841,隶属于PNCDI III计划,项目全称为《打造现代科学:追溯科学革命期间“笛卡尔-牛顿学派教科书”的发展动态》(CartesianPhysics)。
