Feist, Ulrike (Author)
The history of science is a history of picturing. The volume presents two case studies of early modern visualizations of astronomical knowledge: a monumental mirror sundial from 1644 and a book on the planet Venus of 1728. It is shown that a successful reception history may be less depended on the correctness of the visualized knowledge, but rather by the respective strategies of picturing and evidence generation was affected. The investigation of the problem areas the lack of reception and the scientific error leads just as far-reaching insights into the scientific theory and practice as the pursuit of success stories.
