The art of memory encompasses techniques for memorization that have been passed down from classical culture, particularly within the context of rhetorical training. This Focus aims to broaden current historiographical perspectives by examining the uses of mnemonics by individuals engaged in natural-philosophical research, including cases of cross-fertilization between the sciences and the studia humanitatis.

Galilæana seeks proposals for themed issues led by a guest editor (or guest editors). Any theme that falls within the broad field of Renaissance and early modern science, including the history of medicine and the history of technology, is acceptable.

Twenty years after its first issue (2004), Galilæana changes its look and format. It will no longer be a paper journal and will be released online in open access format.

Galilæana, issue 1-2024. Call for papers.

The aim of this call is to draw attention to two specific issues of historical, literary, and philosophical research. On the one hand, the objective is to explore how Galileo considered and used literature; on the other, to observe how past and current writers and intellectuals have tested and enriched their knowledge with Galileo’s teachings.
