- This book explains long-range cultural change within social, material, and philosophical Renaissance contexts, connecting early print to new maths. The argument rests on manuscript and early printed Latin rare books in the USA, Britain, and France, carried out over four years, engaging with scholarship in German, French, Italian, and English. Analytical techniques belong to the history of science in conjunction with material and visual culture studies. The argument’s breadth required mastery of classical sources (especially technical works of arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy), contextualising their use within the whole range of Renaissance education: history, rhetoric, logic, ethics, politics, and so on.
