| Titolo: | Mathematical practitioners and instruments in Elizabethan England / Stephen Johnston. |
| Abstract: | 'A new culture of mathematics was developed in 16th-century England, the culture of the mathematicalls'. Its representatives were the self-styled mathematical practitioners who presented their art as a practical and worldly activity. The careers of two practitioners, Thomas Bedwell [c. 1547-1595] and Thomas Hood [c. 1557-1620], are used as case studies to examine the establishment of this culture of the mathematicalls. Both practitioners self-consciously used mathematical instruments as key resources in negotiating their own roles.' |
