title = "On Joachim Jungius' {"}Textur{\ae} Contemplatio{"}: Texture, Weaving and Natural Philosophy in the 17th Century",
abstract = "The book offers an analysis of Joachim Jungius' Textur{\ae} Contemplatio - a hitherto-unpublished manuscript written in German and Latin that deals with weaving, knitting and other textile practices, attempting to present as well various fabrics and textile techniques in a scientifical and even mathematical framework. The book aims to provide the epistemological, technical and historic framework for Jungius' manuscript, inspecting fabrics, weaving techniques as well as looms and other textile machines in the Holy Roman Empire during the Early Modern Period. It also offers a unique investigation of the notion and metaphor of 'texture' during this period, and explores, within the wider context of the 'meeting' or 'trading zones' thesis, the relations between artisans and natural philosophers during the 17th century. The book is of interest to historians of philosophy and mathematics, as well as historians of technology.",
