Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Da alle drei Autoren seit Jahren zu den besten Kennern der behandelten Materie gehören, wundert es nicht, dass auch alle Essays höchst lesenswert sind. [..] Der ungewöhnlich Große wissenschaftliche Mehrwert, den das Buch liefert, deutet sich bereits in Miguel Granadas Einleitung an. [...] sowohl durch die sorgfältige zweisprachige Edition als auch aufgrund der hochwertigen wissenschaftlichen Beiträge für alle, die sich mit frühneuzeitlicher Wissenschaftsgeschichte beschäftigen, höchst lesenswert ist."
[English translation by Google Translate: "Since all three authors have been among the best connoisseurs of the subject matter for years, it is not surprising that all essays are highly readable. [...] The unusually large scientific added value provided by the book already is evident from Miguel Granada's introduction. [...] both through the careful bilingual edition as well as due to the high-quality scientific contributions for all, who deal with early modern history of science, highly worth reading." -karsten Gaulke, Berichte Wissenschafttsgeschichte 41 (2018), 194-196.

"Ultimately, this book by recognized specialists fills an important gap in the history of Renaissance astronomy and cosmology by providing a masterful study of first-hand documents that hitherto had remained unpublished in English." - Jean Seidengart (Université Paris Ouest Nanterre), Journal for the History of Astronomy, 2017, 48(2):251-252.

"Readers with an interest in the history of astronomy, scientific method, and cometary studies will profit from reading this book."
"The authors are well-known historians of astronomy. [...] The book is thoughtful, well documented, well written, and persuasive. The bibliographies of primary and secondary sources are thorough, as are the indexes of persons, places, and subjects."
"This is a model of splendid scholarship on an important aspect of early modern science."
- J.R. Christianson in: Isis Volume 106, Number 4 (December 2015): 916-917.
