内容摘要

The humanist Celio Calcagnini (1479-1541), an Italian contemporary of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), wrote around 1518 a discussion about the motion of the Earth, Quod caelum stet, terra moveatur vel de perenni motu terrae (That the Hevens Stand Still, and the Earth Moves, or on the Earth’s Constant Motion). It is a short but dense treatise, philosophically complex and sophisticated in style, on a topic of great interest in the history of cosmology. Yet, it has not so far received adequate consideration in the history of science. This talk presents the first translation of Calcagnini into a modern language, edited by Alberto Bardi himself and Pietro Daniel Omodeo.

塞利奥·卡尔卡尼尼(Celio Calcagnini ，1479 - 1541 )，与意大利人尼古拉·哥白尼(Nicolaus Copernicus ，1473 - 1543 )同时代的人文学者，于1518年左右写了一篇关于地球运动的论述，Quod caelum stet，terra moveatur vel de perenni motu terrae (天空静止不动而地球运动，或者说，天空在地球的不断运动中得以静止不动)。这一论述包含复杂的哲学问题，篇幅短小，信息量大，文风精致，晦涩难懂。虽是宇宙学历史上一个非常有意思的话题，但迄今为止，在科学史上尚未得到充分的关注。本讲将展示卡尔卡尼尼地球运动论述的现代语言首译本，该译本由阿尔贝托·巴尔迪（Alberto Bardi）本人和皮埃特罗·丹尼尔·奥莫多（Pietro Daniel Omodeo）编辑。
