EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1250, we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating encounter between two brilliant minds. The renowned ancient Greek geometer Euclid, who flourished around 300 B. C. , sits comfortably with his beard flowing as he gazes up at the celestial wonders above. His focus is directed through a dioptra, an instrument used for measuring angles and distances in astronomy. Beside him stands Hermann of Carinthia, a distinguished 12th-century translator of Arabic works on astronomy. Holding an astrolabe, another essential tool for studying the stars and planets, Hermann seems deeply engrossed in their observations. This remarkable drawing by Matthew Paris captures the essence of these two eras colliding – ancient Hellenic wisdom merging with medieval European scholarship. It was created for Bernardus Silvestris' Liber experimentarius (Book of Experiments), showcasing the continuous pursuit of knowledge across centuries. The portrait exudes a sense of reverence towards these men who dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of our universe. Their seated positions symbolize both contemplation and authority as they unlock secrets hidden within the vastness of space. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that curiosity knows no bounds and that even separated by centuries, astronomers throughout history share a common passion – to understand our place among the stars.
