Topic: Gaspar Schott

	Gaspar Schott, S.J.
		Gaspar Schott, S.J. was born in Koenigshofen, Germany and died in in Augsburg.
		Schott exchanged several letters with von Guericke,seeking to draw him out by suggesting new problems, and then he published his later investigations.
		Like Mersenne, Schott spread news of new investigations, observations and discoveries; he suggested fresh problems and encouraged controversies until there was a resolution.

		Schott may have first accompanied Kircher to France, for he mentions his travels in that country; but he certainly completed his studies in theology, philosophy, and mathematics at Palermo.
		Schott was able to satisfy his desire in 1652, when he was sent to Rome, where for three years he collaborated with Kircher on his researches.
		Schott was so determined to include all possible arguments on every side that it is often hard to discover what he himself thought.

	Horror Vacui? - Gaspar Schott (1608-1666) - IMSS
		Schott is particularly famous as the author of the Mechanica hydraulico-pneumatica (1657), which contains some of the first descriptions of the experiments on the vacuum, amongst which is the extremely famous von Guericke experiment.
		Gathering together, in a dense web of correspondence, reports and opinions of the most important savants (von Guericke, Huygens, Boyle), he made a noteworthy contribution to the diffusion of the most advanced knowledge of pneumatics (he was, for example, the first man in Germany to provide news of Boyle's studies on the air-pump).
		On the theoretical level, Schott claimed that the experiments of von Guericke, Torricelli and Boyle had not produced real vacuums, because the space freed from air was in fact filled with ether, a more impalpable and refined matter.

		Nonetheless, his contemporaries and closest philosophical allies Athanasius Kircher and Gaspar Schott gave their publications such names as Mundus Subterraneus (The subterranean world), Prodromus Coptus sive Aegypticus (Messenger of Coptic or Egyptian [wisdom]), and Thaumaturgus Physicus sive Magiae Universalis Naturae (The miraculous workings of the physical world or the universal magic of nature).
		In particular word got back to Gaspar Schott, who then began correspondence with von Guericke, and in 1657 published an account of the Regensburg demonstration as an appendix to Mechanica Hydraulico-Pnuematica, and later in Technica Curiosa sive Mirabilia Artis.

		Albert of Saxony, who was bishop of Halberstadt from 1366 to 1390, had a similar notion, and considered that a small portion of the principle of fire enclosed in a light sphere would raise it and keep it suspended.
		The same speculation was advanced by Francis Mendoza, a Portuguese Jesuit, who died in 1626 at the age of forty-six, and by Gaspar Schott (1608-1666), also a Jesuit and professor of mathematics at Wurzburg, though for fire he substituted the thin ethereal fluid which he believed to float above the atmosphere.
		A distinct advance on Schott is marked by the scheme for aerial navigation proposed by the Jesuit, Francis Lana (1631-1687), in his book, published at Brescia in 1670, Prodromo ovvero Saggio di alcune invenzioni nuove promesso all' Arte Maestra.

		Tre anni dopo, si trasferì nuovamente in Germania, prima a Magonza e poi a Würzburg, dove insegnò matematica e fisica fino alla fine dei suoi giorni.
		Schott è noto in particolare quale autore della Mechanica hydraulico-pneumatica (1657), un'opera che contiene alcune tra le prime descrizioni degli esperimenti sul vuoto, tra cui quello, famosissimo, di von Guericke.
		Sul piano teorico, Schott riteneva che gli esperimenti di von Guericke, Torricelli e Boyle non avessero prodotto il vuoto effettivo, poiché lo spazio lasciato libero dall'aria veniva riempito dall'etere, una materia più impalpabile e sottile.

		Schott was a Jesuit, an author of several works on physics and technology, and a man said to be venerated by both Catholics and Protestants in his hometown of Augsburg.
		Rather than a work of original scholarship, Schott's book, like many others of its kind, attempts to gather together as much as is commonly known on the topic.
		Despite this accepting attitude, Schott was deeply involved with others conducting scientific inquiry that was quite sophisticated, and many of the leading scientists of the day would write to Schott informing him of their discoveries.

		The invention of the mechanical air-pump is generally attributed to Otto von Guericke, consul of Magdeburg, who exhibited his instrument in 1654; it was first described in 1657 by Gaspar Schott, professor of mathematics at Wurttemberg, in his Mechanica hydraulico-pneumatica, and afterwards (in 1672) by Guericke in his Experimenta nova Magdeburgica de vacuj spatia.

		A century later, in 1736, a Dutch scientist named Pieter Van Musschenbroek created a series of drawings of windmill vanes that, when projected in rapid succession, gave the illusion of the windmill circling around and around.

	Clavis Convenientiae Linguarum
		Unfortunately Becher was afraid that his system might prove difficult for peoples who did not know the Arabic numbers; he therefore thought up a system of his own for the direct visual representation of numbers.
		The system is atrociously complicated and almost totally illegible [However, together with Gaspar Schott's Technica curiosa (1664), Becher's system has been seen] as tentative models for future practices of computer translation.
		In fact, it is sufficient to think of Becher's pseudo-ideograms as instructions for electronic circuits, prescribing to a machine which path to follow through the memory in order to retrieve a given linguistic term, and we have a procedure for a word-for-word translation (with all the obvious inconveniences of such a merely mechanical program).
