In 1500 few Europeans regarded nature as a subject worthy of inquiry. Yet fifty years later the first museums of natural history had appeared in Italy, dedicated to the marvels of nature. Italian patricians, their curiosity fueled by new voyages of exploration and the humanist rediscovery of nature, created vast collections as a means of knowing the world and used this knowledge to their greater glory. Drawing on extensive archives of visitors' books, letters, travel journals, memoirs, and pleas for patronage, Paula Findlen reconstructs the lost social world of Renaissance and Baroque museums. She follows the new study of natural history as it moved out of the universities and into sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scientific societies, religious orders, and princely courts. Findlen argues convincingly that natural history as a discipline blurred the border between the ancients and the moderns, between collecting in order to recover ancient wisdom and the development of new textual and experimental scholarship. Her vivid account reveals how the scientific revolution grew from the constant mediation between the old forms of knowledge and the new.

marvelous details and fruitful provocations;hard to follow, unless you have strong interests in the characters like Ulisse Aldrovandi and Athanasius Kircher. It turned out not an easy reading as I thought, but still have learned something new like the importances of "the space, the site, the local, and the social" in the history of science

很快地過眼瞭一下，尤其是第二章，不僅有史實，有圖像學，而且把museum嚮laboratory轉化這個過程中的很多關鍵概念比如自然的秘密，比如experimentia都討論到瞭。博物學也是有實驗室的
