Anthony Grafton, Henry Putnam University Professor of History, Princeton University
Anthony Grafton recreates the discipline of chronology in early modern Europe. Technical chronology, a popular area of scholarly inquiry in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its practitioners were polymaths, who used both astronomical data and historical research to date the events of ancient and modern, Eastern and Western history. Great scientists like Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton, and great scholars like Kircher and Vico devoted time, energy and ink to this difficult but once fashionable field. This lecture explains what such great intellects saw in this apparently obscure discipline.
