lasting. The first section is concluded by Peter Morris with a brief and well-written summary – in English – of the development of synthetic rubber in Germany (15 pp.). Morris argues convincingly that the market for natural rubber played a dominant role, and that Adolf Hitler promoted the synthetic rubber industry for reasons of national pride, despite poor economic prospects. The second section, “Substitutes for Basic Chemicals and Chemical Products,” opens with a lengthy chapter by Manfred Rasch (52 pp.) that summarises in a well-structured narrative his lifelong research on liquid fuels and lubricants from coal, produced by key technologies such as low-temperature coking, high-pressure hydrogenation (Bergius), and the Fischer-Tropsch process. Rasch argues that the attempts to solve the oil shortage produced new scarcities of energy and electricity in their turn – a kind of domino effect that is also addressed in the chapters by Maier and Zilt. The second contribution to this section, by Sandra Fehr, focuses on the scarcity of nitrogen products in Germany during the First World War. Fehr sheds new light on well-known facts by analysing the developments systematically in a strict chronological order, using Joseph Schumpeter’s analytical framework: invention – innovation – diffusion. She argues that all major inventions predated the war, that the nitrogen scarcity for the military was solved, but at the expense of agriculture, and that the HaberBosch process had a long-term impact on world food supply. The third section, “Substitutes for Fragrances, Flavorings, Food and Fodder,” starts with a chapter by Claus Priesner on the development of synthetic coffee flavours by first-rate organic chemists such as Reichstein and Staudinger. The production on an industrial scale of the substitute Coffarom took place after the war, between 1921 and 1931. As in the case of synthetic rubber, competition with the natural product played a large role. Nevertheless, Coffarom stayed on the market until the 1960s. The last chapter of the book, by Ulrike Thoms, deals with the production of fodder from waste materials and animal cadavers. It discusses in detail the great progress in the production of meat and bone meal by the rendering industry during the First World War. These technologies were further improved during the Second World War and had a lasting impact after 1945. Together with the extensive introduction, the seven cases studies represent a history of the German chemical industry in a nutshell, from the nineteenth century to the late 1950s, with a far greater attention than usual to the role played by politics and the military. With respect to the two central questions mentioned above, the answer to the first is that the external pressures of the two wars seldom led to really new inventions, but they scaled up existing technologies and their application. The answer to the second question is more ambiguous. In some cases innovations emerging during the wars
持久的第一节由Peter Morris以英语总结了德国合成橡胶的发展情况(15页)。Morris令人信服地认为,天然橡胶市场发挥了主导作用,尽管经济前景不佳,但阿道夫·希特勒出于民族自豪感推动了合成橡胶工业。第二节“基本化学品和化学产品的替代品”以曼弗雷德·拉施(Manfred Rasch,52页)的一章开篇,该章以结构合理的叙述总结了他对煤制液体燃料和润滑油的终身研究,煤制液体燃油和润滑油是由低温焦化、高压加氢(Bergius)和费托工艺等关键技术生产的。Rasch认为,解决石油短缺的尝试反过来又产生了新的能源和电力短缺——这种多米诺骨牌效应也在Maier和Zilt的章节中得到了解决。本节的第二篇文章由Sandra Fehr撰写,重点介绍了第一次世界大战期间德国氮产品的稀缺性。Fehr通过使用Joseph Schumpeter的分析框架:发明-创新-扩散,以严格的时间顺序系统地分析发展,为众所周知的事实提供了新的线索。她认为,所有重大发明都早于战争,军队的氮短缺问题得到了解决,但以牺牲农业为代价,HaberBosch工艺对世界粮食供应产生了长期影响。第三部分,“香料、香料、食品和饲料的替代品”,以Claus Priesner关于Reichstein和Staudinger等一流有机化学家开发合成咖啡香料的一章开始。1921年至1931年战争结束后,Coffarom的替代品在工业规模上进行了生产。与合成橡胶的情况一样,与天然产品的竞争发挥了很大作用。尽管如此,Coffarom一直在市场上销售到20世纪60年代。这本书的最后一章由Ulrike Thoms撰写,讲述了用废料和动物尸体生产饲料的过程。详细论述了第一次世界大战期间,渲染工业在肉骨粉生产方面取得的巨大进展。这些技术在第二次世界大战期间得到了进一步改进,并在1945年后产生了持久的影响。加上广泛的介绍,这七个案例研究概括地代表了德国化学工业的历史,从19世纪到20世纪50年代末,比以往更加关注政治和军事所发挥的作用。关于上述两个核心问题,第一个问题的答案是,两次战争的外部压力很少导致真正的新发明,但它们扩大了现有技术及其应用。第二个问题的答案比较含糊。在某些情况下,战争期间出现的创新产生了持久的影响,如Haber Bosch工艺和肉骨粉生产所示,但在其他情况下,包括许多合金,该行业回到了战前使用的产品和工艺,尽管具有更高的科学理解水平。

This article presents the decryption, historical analysis, and alchemical interpretation of an alchemical cipher found in a shared notebook of John and Arthur Dee (British Library MS Sloane 1902). The cipher is an early example of a Bellaso/Della Porta/Vigenère type, a strong encryption method which was historically deemed indecipherable. The essay explores the medical and alchemical context for the manuscript into which the cipher was copied and provides the transcription, plaintext solution (in Latin), and English translation of the encrypted text. Further, it interprets the enciphered text through the lens of alchemical practice and provides evidence for the dissemination of this cipher as part of a larger alchemical knowledge network.

The categories of "amateur" and "professional" remain central in studies on the sociology of nineteenth-century science. This article joins a growing body of literature that points out the complicated and intersecting connections between these two groups and how blurred the boundaries could be. This study focuses on pyrotechny, the art of fireworks, a field of far more obvious importance in the nineteenth century than it is today. Firework displays were mounted by artisan firework makers, who by the end of the century had become industrialists, and by military specialists, usually artillerymen. They had also become a common amateur pursuit. Across the nineteenth century, the art was transformed by the introduction of new materials, and the key discoveries were the work of enthusiasts who did not seek to profit financially from their discoveries. In this sense, they too were amateurs, although some had a scientific education. This article asks how they were able to make such major contributions to the field, and it situates them within networks that often crossed the boundaries between those who made fireworks for a living, or who studied them in military contexts, and those who were simple enthusiasts.

“业余”和“专业”的范畴仍然是19世纪科学社会学研究的中心。这篇文章加入了越来越多的文献,指出这两个群体之间复杂而交叉的联系,以及界限可能是多么模糊。这项研究的重点是烟火术,即烟花的艺术,这是一个在19世纪远比今天重要得多的领域。烟花表演由烟花工匠(到本世纪末已成为实业家)和军事专家(通常是炮兵)布置。它们也成了普通的业余爱好。在整个19世纪,新材料的引入改变了艺术,关键的发现是那些不寻求从他们的发现中获利的爱好者的工作。从这个意义上说,他们也是业余爱好者,尽管有些人受过科学教育。这篇文章询问了他们如何能够在这个领域做出如此重大的贡献,并将他们置于经常跨越界限的网络中,这些界限介于那些以制作烟花为生或在军事背景下研究烟花的人和那些简单的爱好者之间。

George E. Davis: Editing the Chemical Trade Journal, 1887-1906. 乔治·e·戴维斯:编辑化学贸易杂志,1887-1906。
IF 0.5 3区 哲学 Pub Date : 2023-05-01 DOI: 10.1080/00026980.2023.2201747
Peter Reed

This article explores George Davis's editing of the Chemical Trades Journal (CTJ) between 1887 and 1906, a period during which he was also working as a consultant chemist and consultant chemical engineer. Davis had worked from 1870 in various sectors of the chemical industry before becoming a sub-inspector in the Alkali Inspectorate between 1878 and 1884. It was during this period that the British chemical industry was facing severe economic pressure and to remain competitive was having to adapt to less wasteful and more efficient production. Drawing on this wide industrial experience, Davis developed a framework for chemical engineering with the broad aim of making chemical manufacture as economic as the latest science and technology would allow. Several important issues are raised by Davis's editorship of the weekly CTJ alongside his extensive consultancy work and other responsibilities: Davis's motivation given the likely impact on his consultancy work; the community the CTJ hoped to serve; competitive periodicals addressing the same market niche; the degree of focus on his chemical engineering framework; the changing content of the CTJ; and Davis's role as editor over a period of nearly twenty years.

这篇文章探讨了乔治·戴维斯在1887年至1906年间编辑《化学贸易杂志》(CTJ)的经历,在此期间,他还担任顾问化学家和顾问化学工程师。戴维斯从1870年开始在化学工业的各个部门工作,然后在1878年至1884年期间成为碱监察局的副检查员。正是在这一时期,英国化学工业面临着严重的经济压力,为了保持竞争力,必须适应减少浪费和提高效率的生产。利用这一广泛的工业经验,戴维斯开发了一个化学工程框架,其广泛的目标是使化学制造尽可能经济最新的科学和技术所允许的。戴维斯在《CTJ》周刊担任编辑期间,除了从事广泛的咨询工作和其他职责外,还提出了几个重要问题:戴维斯的动机对他的咨询工作可能产生的影响;CTJ希望服务的社区;针对相同市场利基的竞争性期刊;他对化工框架的关注程度;CTJ含量的变化;以及戴维斯近二十年来担任编辑的经历。

Magic, Science, and Religion in Early Modern Europe 近代早期欧洲的魔法、科学和宗教

women who dipped into natural philosophy. Findlen also probes Erculiani’s decision to publish her book in Krakow, discussing the intellectual connections between Padua and Poland and suggesting that Erculiani might have been trying to avoid running afoul of the Inquisition (unsuccessfully, if so). Letters on Natural Philosophy provides an exciting addition to early modern women’s medico-scientific works available to an English-speaking audience. Hannah Marcus’s skilful and highly readable translations make the difficult Italian and Latin texts accessible to English readers, and the book should be suitable for university students of all levels. While the introductory materials rightly situate Erculiani in her Italian context, her case also provokes questions about gender and female authorship in early modern Europe more broadly. For example, there are many parallels with the story of Oliva Sabuco, the daughter of a Spanish physician under whose name two philosophical works on medicine appeared in 1587 and who also ran into trouble with the Inquisition. This confluence raises complex questions about women’s eagerness to make an intellectual contribution in early modern Europe and the power of religious authorities to silence them. The sixteenth-century fate of Letters on Natural Philosophy is hardly uplifting. Investigated by the Inquisition, Erculiani was forced to defend her book against suspicions of heresy. Although she does not appear to have been formally charged, she also did not publish again. Her book was never placed on the Catholic Church’s Index of Condemned Books, but, as Caranci points out, this was likely because it was not viewed as influential enough to pose a threat. Nevertheless, the fact that Erculiani felt empowered to publish her Letters demonstrates the great energy among educated Italian women at the end of the Renaissance. Women writers who followed Erculiani, such as Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Manella, echoed her views on women’s intellect with more success. Although Erculiani was prevented from making a broader impact with her book, her work deserves to be known, and the combined efforts of Carinci, Findlen, and Marcus bring her story to modern English readers in magnificent detail.
钻研自然哲学的女人。芬德伦还探讨了埃尔库利亚尼决定在克拉科夫出版她的书,讨论了帕多瓦和波兰之间的知识联系,并暗示埃尔库利亚尼可能是在试图避免与宗教裁判所发生冲突(如果是这样的话,没有成功)。《自然哲学书信》为讲英语的读者提供了早期现代女性医学科学作品的一个令人兴奋的补充。汉娜·马库斯的翻译技巧娴熟,可读性强,使英语读者能够理解晦涩的意大利语和拉丁语文本,这本书应该适合各个层次的大学生。虽然介绍材料正确地将埃古利亚尼置于她的意大利背景中,但她的案例也引发了更广泛的关于早期现代欧洲性别和女性作者的问题。例如,奥莉瓦·萨布科(Oliva Sabuco)的故事有很多相似之处,她是一位西班牙医生的女儿,1587年以她的名义出版了两本关于医学的哲学著作,她也遇到了宗教裁判所的麻烦。这种融合提出了一些复杂的问题:在近代早期的欧洲,女性渴望做出智力贡献,而宗教当局却有能力让她们噤声。《自然哲学文论》在16世纪的命运很难令人振奋。在宗教裁判所的调查下,埃古利亚尼被迫为她的书辩护,反对异端的怀疑。虽然她似乎没有受到正式指控,但她也没有再发表任何文章。她的书从未被列入天主教会的“被谴责书籍索引”,但正如卡兰西指出的那样,这可能是因为她的书被认为没有足够的影响力来构成威胁。尽管如此,埃尔库利亚尼感到有权出版她的书信,这一事实表明,文艺复兴末期,受过教育的意大利女性充满了巨大的活力。紧随其后的女作家,如Moderata Fonte和Lucrezia Manella,更成功地呼应了她对女性智力的看法。尽管埃尔库利亚尼的书无法产生更广泛的影响,但她的作品值得被人所知,卡林奇、芬德伦和马库斯的共同努力,将她的故事以宏伟的细节呈现给了现代英语读者。
{"title":"Magic, Science, and Religion in Early Modern Europe","authors":"Vaibhav Pathak","doi":"10.1080/00026980.2023.2205214","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00026980.2023.2205214","url":null,"abstract":"women who dipped into natural philosophy. Findlen also probes Erculiani’s decision to publish her book in Krakow, discussing the intellectual connections between Padua and Poland and suggesting that Erculiani might have been trying to avoid running afoul of the Inquisition (unsuccessfully, if so). Letters on Natural Philosophy provides an exciting addition to early modern women’s medico-scientific works available to an English-speaking audience. Hannah Marcus’s skilful and highly readable translations make the difficult Italian and Latin texts accessible to English readers, and the book should be suitable for university students of all levels. While the introductory materials rightly situate Erculiani in her Italian context, her case also provokes questions about gender and female authorship in early modern Europe more broadly. For example, there are many parallels with the story of Oliva Sabuco, the daughter of a Spanish physician under whose name two philosophical works on medicine appeared in 1587 and who also ran into trouble with the Inquisition. This confluence raises complex questions about women’s eagerness to make an intellectual contribution in early modern Europe and the power of religious authorities to silence them. The sixteenth-century fate of Letters on Natural Philosophy is hardly uplifting. Investigated by the Inquisition, Erculiani was forced to defend her book against suspicions of heresy. Although she does not appear to have been formally charged, she also did not publish again. Her book was never placed on the Catholic Church’s Index of Condemned Books, but, as Caranci points out, this was likely because it was not viewed as influential enough to pose a threat. Nevertheless, the fact that Erculiani felt empowered to publish her Letters demonstrates the great energy among educated Italian women at the end of the Renaissance. Women writers who followed Erculiani, such as Moderata Fonte and Lucrezia Manella, echoed her views on women’s intellect with more success. Although Erculiani was prevented from making a broader impact with her book, her work deserves to be known, and the combined efforts of Carinci, Findlen, and Marcus bring her story to modern English readers in magnificent detail.","PeriodicalId":50963,"journal":{"name":"Ambix","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46046132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
