After Hours with Medieval Science

June 3, 2024
Cambridge University’s Seb Falk joins the Linda Hall Library's Jason W. Dean in an engaging conversation on medieval science. Seb and Jason focus on a single title in the Library’s collection: a copy of the medieval astronomy textbook Sphaera Mundi, composed c. 1215 by John of Holywood (called Sacro Bosco), and printed by Erhard Ratdolt in 1482. Using this extraordinary example, they will talk about the book, what it does, its importance, and why it was reprinted so widely almost three hundred years after its first appearance as a manuscript.
