Early translations: twelfth century Some seventy works were translated from Arabic by Gerard of Cremona , nicknamed 'the Master' ( dictus magister ), at the cathedral of Toledo. These included Aristotle's Posterior Analytics Physics On Generation and Corruption and Meteorology I-III (see Aristotle ), as well as four short tracts on natural science by Alexander of Aphrodisias . To these originally Greek works, Gerard added four philosophical letters of al-Kindi , a letter on proof by the Ikhwan al-Safa' and al-Farabi's Kitab ihsa' al-'ulum (On the Classification of the Sciences) (see al-Farabi Also at this time, the importance of the al-Shifa' (Healing) of Avicenna (Ibn Sina) was brought to the notice of Archbishop John of Toledo by a Jewish scholar called 'Avendauth' (perhaps the same as Abraham Ibn Daud , the author of al-'Aqida al-rafi'a (The Exalted Faith) ). Portions of the text, including those on universals, physics (in part), the soul and metaphysics, were translated by Avendauth, Dominicus Gundissalinus (an archdeacon in the cathedral

Coleção Judaísmo Breve História da Literatura Judaica A F ASE DA D ECADêNCIA ISAÍAS RAFFALOVITCH Mas mesmo então encontramos alguns judeus que, embora talmudistas, tiveram grandes conhecimentos da cultura leiga da sua época como, por exemplo, o Rabi Tam e o Rabi Moisés Nahmânides, que era médico, comendador, autor religioso e cabalista. Outros judeus distinguiram-se no campo da matemática e de outras ciências (o quadrante, o globo e o relógio do sol foram inventados pelos judeus). Diz-se que Ibn Ezra foi o primeiro que dividiu o globo terrestre em partes, por meio do equador. Sabe-se que Leon de Bonclas inventou o telescópio, tornando assim possível a navegação durante a noite pela observação das estrelas. Quem foi esse Leon? Não foi outro senão Rabi Levi ben Gerson, Ralbag, e não há mais dúvidas que a viagem de Colombo só foi possível graças aos astrônomos judeus. No século XIV, a literatura judaica entrou numa fase de decadência. As condições terríveis que impunham à vida dos judeus reagiram sobre o espírito, tornando-se manifesta a sua tendência de se retirarem do domínio da pesquisa livre. Contudo, até nesse período de trevas podemos apontar luminares no campo da literatura e da filosofia. Iudá Alharisi escreveu uma belíssima coleção de poemas sob o nome de Tahkemoni, uma das obras primas da produção medieval. Iedidia Bedrachi ganhou fama com o seu Exame do Mundo , traduzido para muitas línguas, inclusive para o inglês. Levi, o filho de Guershom - Gersônides - notável astrônomo do século XIV, cujos trabalhos sobre astronomia, escritos em hebraico, foram traduzidos para o latim pelo papa Clemente VI, escreveu uma famosa obra filosófica:

69. Una Storia Della Fotografia Translate this page noi noti. Da allora si evolse con estrema rapidità (Bacone 1214/1294,levi ben gerson, Leonardo da Vinci 1452/1519). Al semplice http://www.ffplm.it/storiadellafoto.htm

Una breve storia della fotografia mondiale La Fotografia, che ha influenzato notevolmente la nostra percezione del mondo ed ancor oggi è molto usata, ha origini assai recenti e volerne tracciare la storia è prematuro, anche se essa è perfettamente nota e ben delineata. Tanto nota da permettere di affermare che il disquisire sulla sua nascita corrisponde al relazionare su una scoperta annunciata, tanto annunciata da delinearne già la scomparsa. Questo perché la fotografia ha radici molto ma molto lontane dal 1839, anno della sua ufficializzazione, tant'è che già i greci d'Aristotele conoscevano il foro stenopeico In realtà le problematiche connesse alla fotografia sono un po' più vaste di quanto si possa pensare. Non basta ottenere l'immagine, bisogna anche poterla conservare. Tutti i tentativi fatti prima del 1839 sfumavano nel totale degrado del sale d'argento in breve, brevissimo tempo. E, fatto assai più importante, almeno allora, tutti cercavano l'immagine direttamente positiva, il concetto di negativo/positivo è incredibilmente moderno. Questo provocò un ritardo, se non altro, di almeno vent'anni sulla realizzazione della prima fotografia. In base a quanto detto può essere interessante leggere in modo un poco diverso la storia della fotografia, storia tecnica beninteso, perché la filosofia dell'immagine fotografica, anche se citata spesso nell'elenco cronologico a seguire, è tutt'altra cosa, decisamente più antica dell'arco storico trattato, molto complessa e assai contorta nella sua parte contemporanea.

About Doron Zeilberger's Opinion #36 While I am very sympathetic with Doron Zeilberger's frank and direct way of expressing his ideas and while most of the mathematics he does with his companion Shalosh B. Ekhad has a strong appeal to me, I am far to agree with it on many minor aspects of his opinions. (It is better to have read Doron Zeilberger's text before reading this. See: and for the feedback he received from various people go to As english is not my mother tongue, any comment on the spelling, grammar or style of this text is welcome. Please mail it to me Mathematician=programmer ? No, a Ph. D. in math does not warrant at all the ability to learn programming, even when one has removed those very common psychological blocks DZ refers to. There is a lot to unlearn, there is the whole social implication of a researcher in the academic system. Moreover, we all now math Ph. D. who aren't smart *at all* and especially about mathematics. Introducing this kind of public to even mathematically-minded computer macro-languages like TeX is sometimes worth Hercules' works. Part of the trouble with any academic system is that there are areas, times and circonstances were you can be dubbed "researcher" or "professor" by only being a good schoolboy, no need to be smart or creative about the subject. In fact, the mathematics researchers I know who program well had most of the time a keen interest in programming or computers before they graduated. It makes me appreciate even more the senior mathematicians who are good with these tools or who switched successfully at a late stage in their career.

Enrico II e la navigazione portoghese I Portoghesi, guidati dal principe Enrico il Navigatore (1394-1460), affrontarono il problema della navigazione in modo innovativo, quando iniziarono i grandi viaggi di esplorazione lungo la costa occidentale dell'Africa. Nel 1420 furono colonizzate le Isole Canarie, e nel 1433 fu il turno delle isole Azzorre. In questo periodo fu studiato con cura il sistema di venti dell'Oceano Atlantico, e presto i marinai si convinsero che sarebbero sempre potuti tornare a casa, sia che si muovessero verso Sud, sia che navigassero verso Ovest. Infatti scoprirono che la direzione del vento dominante cambiava con la latitudine e con la stagione. latitudine e riportarli correttamente sulla carta geografica.

In seguito fu insegnato ai naviganti come convertire le differenze di gradi di altezza in leghe, per conoscere di quanto si era navigato nella direzione Nord-Sud, moltiplicando i gradi per 16 e due terzi. altezza del Sole, al passaggio al meridiano, nei diversi giorni dell'anno, alle diverse latitudini.

His family had been distinguished for piety and exegetical skill, but though he was known in the Jewish community by commentaries on certain books of the Bible , he never seems to have accepted any rabbinical post. Possibly the freedom of his opinions may have put obstacles in the way of his preferment. He is known to have been at Avignon and Orange during his life, and is believed to have died in 1344, though Zacuto asserts that he died at Perpignan in 1370.
