HISTORIOGRAPHIC AND NUMERICAL NOTES ON THE ATLANTE FARNESE AND ITS CELESTIAL SPHERE / ZUM KARTENBILD UND ZU BERECHNUNGSMÖGLICHKEITEN AN DER HIMMELSKUGEL DES FARNESISCHEN ATLAS
1987
Overview
The object of my research Is the celestial sphere supported on the shoulders of the so called Atlante Farnese. We are dealing with a well known piece quite often cited here and there but, In spite of Its fame, It has only been studied once since its modern appearance in Rome In the middle of the 16th century. The Importance of the celestial sphere has been undervalued in the last two centuries due to the scant attention paid to it and to the lack of any serious study. The present contribution Is divided Into three parts. The first Is devoted to a brief commemoration of the forgotten father of the history of globes and their makers, Matteo Florini. The second one provides a historiographical account on the Farnese Atlas starting from the 1695 examination by J.D. Cassini and F. Bianchini. Then I present my latest observations, true measures of the rings, the position of the constellations and a possible attribution.
