| Abstract: | This work is about the findings of the vitrometrum designed by Boscovich in 1773 that came about thanks to the examination of unpublished and previously unknown documents. The instrument was used to examine the dispersive and refractive quality of glass to be used in achromatic optical systems in an attempt to improve precision in the making of telescopes of the Dollond type. The papers examined, going back to the last years of Boscovich's life, also allow us to know various aspects of Boscovich's theories about optics and to shed light on his relations with some of his contemporary scientists. Among the various matters dealt with there is the question of the measurement of the speed of light through materials of different density, the diffusion of his texts and the public demonstrations of experiments after the publication of his most important work on optics in 1785 |
