Academia Norica
Die im Jahr 1575 gegrundete Nurnberger Hochschule in Altdorf entwickelte sich bereits in den ersten Jahrzehnten ihres Bestehens zum bedeutendsten geistigen Zentrum des evangelischen Franken. An der Academia Norica unterrichteten Gelehrte von europaischem Rang, wie z.B. der franzosische Jurist Hugo Donellus. Die Studie untersucht in umfassender Weise sowohl die institutionelle als auch die wissenschaftliche Entwicklung der Altdorfer Hochschule im Zeitraum von 1575 bis zur Universitatsgrundung von 1623. Es werden insbesondere die engen Verflechtungen zwischen der Nurnberger Konfessions- und Bildungspolitik sowie die starken Einflusse der italienischen und franzosischen Wissenschaft auf das Alt...

Inventing the Indigenous
Drawing on cultural, social, and environmental history, as well as the histories of science and medicine, this book shows how, amidst a growing reaction against exotic imports -- whether medieval spices like cinnamon or new American arrivals like chocolate and tobacco -- early modern Europeans began to take inventory of their own "indigenous" natural worlds.

Set in the heart of late Renaissance London, William Harvey is the fascinating biography of the author of the revolutionary "circulation" theory of the movement of the blood, which would alter the history of science and general culture in a manner akin to Darwin's theory of evolution and Newton's theory of gravity.
William Harvey's Biological Ideas
By his discovery of the circulation of the blood, Harvey laid the foundation of scientific biology and medicine. And yet Harvey was the child of a pre-rationalistic age. He was the life-long thinker on the purpose and indeed the mystery of circular phenomena: the circulation of the blood on the one hand and the cycle of generation on the other, both forming the microscopic copy of a cosmological pattern.
Sanctorius Sanctorius and the Origins of Health Measurement
This open access book offers new insights into the Venetian physician Sanctorius Sanctorius (1561–1636) and into the origins of quantification in medicine. At the turn of the seventeenth century, Sanctorius developed instruments to measure and quantify physiological change. As trivial as the quantitative assessment of health issues might seem to us today – in times of fitness trackers and smart watches – it was highly innovative at that time. With his instruments, Sanctorius introduced quantitative research into the field of physiology. Historical accounts of Sanctorius and his work tend to tell the story of a genius who, almost out of the blue, invented a new medical science, based on...
