Original scientific paper

Giuseppe Biancani on Marin Getaldić and Marko Antun de Dominis

Ivica Martinović ; Dubrovnik, Hrvatska

Abstract

Bologna-born Jesuit Giuseppe Biancani (1566–1624), professor of mathematics at the Jesuit Collegio di San Rocco within the University of Parma, student of Marko Antun de Dominis in Brescia and of Christoph Clavius in Rome, and the teacher of Giambattista Riccioli, emerges as a new name in the study of the earliest reception of Marin Getaldić’s work in the books printed in Italy. Being Getaldić’s contemporary, Biancani, like Getaldić himself, was close to Clavius and Grienberger, and both his mathematical historiographies had already been published before Getaldić’s scientific opus was concluded by the posthumous edition of his master-piece De resolutione et compositione mathematica (1630).
