A. Kircher (1602?-1680) fut l'un des derniers polygraphes du monde occidental. Son autobiographie, publiée à Augsbourg en 1684, fait ici l'objet d'une approche philologique destinée à contextualiser son contenu. Divers décalages apparaissent en effet entre le texte de la Vita et les faits historiques reconstruits d'après les sources. Etude de ces remaniements et édition scientifique du texte.

Athanasius Kircher (1601/2-1680) fut l'un des acteurs de la respublica literarum du XVIIe siècle et l'un des derniers polygraphes du monde occidental. Ce travail porte sur son autobiographie (Vita), publiée à Augsbourg en édition posthume en 1684 par les soins de l'Académicien allemand Hieronymus Ambrosius Langenmantel (1641-1718) dans un volume qui inclut également des lettres faisant partie de la correspondance de Kircher. Le texte original latin de la Vita est amendé, traduit en français et analysé : une confrontation directe est instituée entre les éléments essentiels de la biographie de Kircher (préalablement reconstruits grâce aux sources manuscrites et à la littérature secondaire) et le récit autobiographique. Les données tirées de l'exégèse du texte sont ensuite employées pour aborder d'un nouveau point de vue certains lieux de la biographie de Kircher qui ont toujours fait l'objet de descriptions divergentes de la part des critiques. Les problèmes d'harmonie interne et de fiabilité historique du texte, les éléments suggérant une rédaction non aboutie ou non accomplie de l'œuvre, la réélaboration et l'omission des données et la fictionnalisation délibérée sont soulignés afin de de mettre en évidence des modalités de fonctionnement du récit qui semblent obéir à des critères précis de présentation des données. À travers une évaluation de la place que cet ouvrage occupe à l'intérieur de la tradition littéraire de l'autobiographie et à travers l'étude du rapport existant entre le récit de Kircher et l'Autobiographie (1675) du cardinal Roberto Bellarmino, une hypothèse est avancée concernant la raison de la rédaction de la Vita et son dessein caché

An examination of the unique, baroque-era, German Jesuit scholar, Egyptologist, polymath, and prolific author and his studies. A contemporary of Descartes and Newton, Athanasius Kircher, S. J. (1601/2–80), was one of Europe’s most inventive and versatile scholars in the baroque era. He published more than thirty works in fields as diverse as astronomy, magnetism, cryptology, numerology, geology, and music. But Kircher is most famous—or infamous—for his quixotic attempt to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs and reconstruct the ancient traditions they encoded. In 1655, after more than two decades of toil, Kircher published his solution to the hieroglyphs, Oedipus Aegyptiacus, a work that has been called “one of the most learned monstrosities of all times.” Here Daniel Stolzenberg presents a new interpretation of Kircher’s hieroglyphic studies, placing them in the context of seventeenth-century scholarship on paganism and Oriental languages. Situating Kircher in the social world of baroque Rome, with its scholars, artists, patrons, and censors, Stolzenberg shows how Kircher’s study of ancient paganism depended on the circulation of texts, artifacts, and people between Christian and Islamic civilizations. Along with other participants in the rise of Oriental studies, Kircher aimed to revolutionize the study of the past by mastering Near Eastern languages and recovering ancient manuscripts hidden away in the legendary libraries of Cairo and Damascus. The spectacular flaws of his scholarship have fostered an image of Kircher as an eccentric anachronism, a throwback to the Renaissance hermetic tradition. Stolzenberg argues against this view, showing how Kircher embodied essential tensions of a pivotal phase in European intellectual history, when pre-Enlightenment scholars pioneered modern empirical methods of studying the past while still working within traditional frameworks, such as biblical history and beliefs about magic and esoteric wisdom. Praise for Egyptian Oedipus “Stolzenberg not only provides the first serious study of Athanasius Kircher’s investigations into the history and culture of ancient Egypt, but he also furnishes a perceptive critical evaluation of Kircher’s scholarship and persona, warts and all. Stolzenberg goes beyond Kircher’s programmatic statements to unveil his actual scholarly practices. In doing so, Stolzenberg has produced an exemplary case study of a polymath at work and has provided us with a more nuanced understanding of Kircher’s influence.” —Mordechai Feingold, California Institute of Technology “If you don’t already know about Athanasius Kircher, you should take a long trip through his extraordinary and weird fields of research: a Jesuit priest who tinkered with everything from early cinematic projectors to talking statues, and wrote about impossibly tall skyscrapers inspired by the Tower of Babel and developed his own unique twist on a volcanic theory of a Hollow Earth. . . . Stolzenberg’s book is an excellent biography of the man and his ideas.” —Gizmodo, Notable Books of 2013

A panoramic history of the antiquarians whose discoveries transformed Renaissance culture and gave rise to new forms of art and knowledge In the early fifteenth century, a casket containing the remains of the Roman historian Livy was unearthed at a Benedictine abbey in Padua. The find was greeted with the same enthusiasm as the bones of a Christian saint, and established a pattern that antiquarians would follow for centuries to come. The Art of Discovery tells the stories of the Renaissance antiquarians who turned material remains of the ancient world into sources for scholars and artists, inspirations for palaces and churches, and objects of pilgrimage and devotion. Maren Elisabeth Schwab and Anthony Grafton bring to life some of the most spectacular finds of the age, such as Nero’s Golden House and the wooden placard that was supposedly nailed to the True Cross. They take readers into basements, caves, and cisterns, explaining how digs were undertaken and shedding light on the methods antiquarians—and the alchemists and craftspeople they consulted—used to interpret them. What emerges is not an origin story for modern archaeology or art history but rather an account of how early modern artisanal skills and technical expertise were used to create new knowledge about the past and inspire new forms of art, scholarship, and devotion in the present. The Art of Discovery challenges the notion that Renaissance antiquarianism was strictly a secular enterprise, revealing how the rediscovery of Christian relics and the bones of martyrs helped give rise to highly interdisciplinary ways of examining and authenticating objects of all kinds.
