Les premiers manuscrits des Theoricae novae planetarum de Georg Peurbach: présentation, description, évolution d'un ouvrage (2012)

unapi

Georg Peurbach's Theoricae novae planetarum is one of the fundamental contributions of pre-Copernican astronomy. Written in 1454, it was published by Regiomontanus in 1472 and was to have a broad diffusion up to the middle of the xviith century. In order to understand the scientific reasons which enabled this work to impose itself all around Europe for such a long period of time, and to check if its contents could have had a role in the reflections leading to the conception of the new universe proposed by Copernicus, we are in need of a critical edition and commentary of Peurbach's Theoricae novae planetarum : a task to which the author of this paper has devoted herself for several years and which will be published in 2013. A preliminary study of the manuscripts through which this work has been transmitted reveals the existence of some unknown copies which shed a new light on the early -- and more genuine -- diffusion of the Theoricae novae planetarum. This paper presents the manuscripts, which take us back to Peurbach's own activity and which were carried out following his invention and supervision.
