SUMMARY:Scientiae 2017: disciplines of knowing in 
 the early modern  world, Padua, Italy
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170419
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170422
LOCATION:Padua, Italy
DESCRIPTION:The major premise of the Scientiae con
 ference series is that knowledge in the early mode
 rn world (roughly 1400-1800) was inherently interd
 isciplinary, involving complex mixtures of theorie
 s, practices and objects, which had yet to be sepa
 rated into their modern 'scientific' configuration
 s. Although centred on attempts to understand and 
 control the natural world, Scientiae addresses nat
 ural philosophy, natural history, and the scientia
 e mixtae within a wide range of related fields, in
 cluding but not restricted to Biblical exegesis, m
 edicine, artisan practice and theory, logic, human
 ism, alchemy, magic, witchcraft, demonology, divin
 atory practices, astronomy, astrology, music, anti
 quarianism, experimentation and commerce.  This ye
 ar attention is especially given to the history of
  early modern knowledge and erudition, the history
  of universities, particularly though not exclusiv
 ely the history of the university of Padua, as wel
 l as the history of the book and the history of po
 litical thought. Our Keynote Speakers will be Paul
 a Findlen (Stanford), Claire Preston (QM London), 
 and Antonio Clericuzio (Roma Tre).     Proposals a
 re invited for the sixth annual Scientiae conferen
 ce. Please email your 250-word abstract, together 
 with a one-page CV, before the abstract submission
  deadline of 15 December 2016. We shall be notifyi
 ng the selection outcome by 15 January.
