	Adventures in CyberSound: Alberti, Leone Battista
		Alberti seems to have collaborated with him in astronomy rather than geography, but the two sciences were closely bound at the time (and bound to perspective) by the conceptions and methods of geometric mapping rediscovered in the writings of the ancient astronomer and geographer Ptolemy.
		Although it is difficult to trace the historical connections, the methods of surveying and mapping and the instruments described by Alberti are precisely those that were responsible for the new scientific accuracy of the depictions of towns and land areas that date from the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
		Alberti was in the vanguard of the cultural life of early Renaissance Italy.

	Leone Battista Alberti \| GRAND TRADITION
		Alberti's Latin comedy, Philodoxeos, aimed to teach that "a man dedicated to study and hard work can attain glory, just as well as a rich and fortunate man." For a short time it was passed as genuinely antique Roman play.
		Beauty was for Alberti "the harmony of all pats in relation to one another," and subsequently "this concord is realized in a particular number, proportion, and arrangement demanded by harmony".
		Alberti's thoughts on harmony were not new - they could be traced back to Pythagoras - but he set them in a fresh contex, which well fit in with the contemporary aesthetic discourse.
