Surveying and astronomical instruments were common in such collections, their role being to impress visitors by displaying the power that a ruler acquired through the control of nature. This book offers selected studies of notable European collections of scientific instruments from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. These studies also present the work of important instrument makers of the time, and their relations with patrons and rulers. A final section focuses on the role of modern museums and collectors in saving this scientific heritage from dispersal. The result is a contemporary perspective on the formation of the most important museums of the history of science."--BOOK JACKET., 1, , Gift, , , Adler astrolabe (M-1) ono p. 117 ; article by Sven Dupre and Michael Korey pp. 61-85, , , 2009.022, , , Scientific apparatus and instruments, Scientific apparatus and instruments, Science, Renaissance., Science, , , , , 0, 0, 0, 0, History., Private collections, History., History., Europe, Europe, Europe, Strano, Giorgio., 1, , Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2009, Online version:, 0, 8, European collections of scientific instruments, 1550-1750., (OCoLC)609089214, History of science and medicine library ;, History of science and medicine library., , , 0, 0, Scientific instruments and collections ;, v. 10., v. 1., HELD BY AP$ - 69 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a268957389zDLChFulliLCCkDDCnSummaryu20121215, a514332306zHTVbHARVARD UNIV, VILLA I TATTIhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20100705, a441907533zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20100701, a710007709zN15bNEW YORK UNIV, GROUP BATCHLOADhCoreiLCCkDDCu20111012, a318921351zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhCoreiLCCkDDCu20100712, a506187312zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhCoreiLCCkDDCqsru20100718, a467110758zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCu20100628, a417140174zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhCoreiLCCkDDCu20100714, a744722227zCUDbCAMBRIDGE UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20110803, a689201510zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhCoreiLCCkDDCu20101203, aZ0bAP$, DATE_RECEIVED, 2009-4-1, Q185 .E97 2009
