Talking Science: the University Lessons of Antonio Vallisneri
The manuscript lesson plans of the University of Padua biologist Antonio Vallisneri (1660-1730) constitute a major source regarding the thinking processes of a key figure in biological instruction as well as regarding the oral transmission of science in the age between Malpighi and Buffon. The project intends to create an innovative interface for recreating, viewing and understanding the lessons on the basis of the manuscript originals.
PhD studentships will focus on specific aspects of the larger project in view of making important contributions to the history of science and to Digital Humanities. Studentships include subject-related instruction as well as wide-ranging technical instruction in Digital Humanities.
