Bondio, Mariacarla Gadebusch (Author)
Automata have always held a particular fascination. Their history leads back to their mythical ancestors, whose destinies raise considerable ethical questions about the sense of technology and about the boundaries between nature and art. In the 16th century engineers, architects and also physicians discussed the status of the artes mechanicae` and the machines they produced or used. Useful, sometimes dangerous, amusing and elaborate artefacts liven up their texts. Together with wonderful automata we find there also orthopaedic stretching machines and artificial limbs, whose acceptance by medical practice was anything but a matter of course.
...MoreDescription On 16th-century discussions of automata and related medical technology such as orthopaedic stretching machines and artificial limbs.
