| Abstract: | In November of 1769, R. J. Boscovich was called from Pavia to teach astronomy and optics at the Palatine Schools in Milan. In the period between 1769 and 1771, he intensified his research activities in the fields of astronomy and optics at the Brera Observatory, which he himself had designed. Towards the end of 1771, the Vienna government, while carrying out its general reorganization of university studies in Pavia and Milan, advanced certain observations regarding the operation of the Brera Observatory. This criticism aroused more than a few perplexities in scientific circles, particularly in Jerome Lalande, one of Boscovich's assiduous correspondents. Boscovich replied to these observations in a long memorial that remained to all intents and purposes unknown until 1927. Boscovich's "Risposta" to Prince Kaunitz constitutes an important document for the information it supplies on the activities of Boscovich and the Brera astronomers at a particularly significant moment in the history of this institution. A new, critical edition of the "Risposta", with detailed comments and critical observations, is presented |
