  The Musaeum of Alexandria and the Formation of the 'Museum' in Eighteenth-Century France - Questia Online ...
In early modern France, on the other hand, the Latin term musaeum was expressly and often exclusively understood to refer to the Musaeum of Alexandria, defined as a group of scholars dedicated to the study of the arts, sciences, and letters.
Because the artifactual Musaeum had been irrevocably destroyed and very little primary documentation remained, scholars were repeatedly frustrated in their attempts to locate a place that had vanished from sight but not from memory.
Instead, they were forced to confront the Musaeum in terms of the geographical, historical, and philosophical problems that this elusive subject raised: as a monumental depository of learned scholarship that had been but was no more, the Musaeum embodied the survival of the past through translation and reconfiguration, one form yielding to another.

  Musaeum Clausum. Who is Musaeum Clausum? What is Musaeum Clausum? Where is Musaeum Clausum? Definition of Musaeum ...
Musaeum Clausum also known as Bibliotheca abscondita is an inventory of remarkable Books, Antiquities, Pictures and Rarities of several kinds, scarce or never seen by any man now living written by Sir Thomas Browne in his old age (an event from the year 1675 is referred to) and published posthumously in 1684.
Like the encyclopaedia Pseudodoxia Epidemica, Musaeum Clausum (the Sealed Museum) is a catalogue of doubts and queries, only this time, in true Borgesian style, in the form of extremely brief, thumb-nail descriptions of supposed, rumoured or lost books, picures and objects.
Musaeum Clausum also confirms that the ideas, imagery and symbolism of esoteric thought were of great interest to one of the leading intellectuals of seventeenth century Europe.

Distinguished in medicine and science, President of both the Royal Society and the Royal College of Physicians, the books and objects Sloane collected became the foundation of the British Museum.
The sheer volume of book-titles, pictures and objects listed in Musaeum Clausum is testimony to Browne's fertile imagination; however his major editors, Simon Wilkins in the nineteenth century ( 1834) and Sir Geoffrey Keynes in the twentieth ( 1924) summarily dismissed it.

The Musaeum of Alexandria and the Formation of the Muséum in Eighteenth-Century France
The Hellenistic Musaeum of Alexandria became a subject of sustained interest for seventeenth- and eighteenth-century antiquarians and architects.
What little documentation remained indicated that the Musaeum had been an élite group of scholars, supported by a library, housing, and other research facilities.

 Athanasius Kircher and the Baroque culture of machines
The moment of the creation of the Musaeum Kircherianum coincided with a disciplinary crisis in Jesuit education that led the superiors of the order to condemn departures from Aristotle in philosophy, including natural philosophy or physics, and from Thomas Aquinas in theology.
The musaeum mathematicum of the Collegio Romano then, formed a space for advanced level mathematical teaching and for the formation of close relationships between master and disciples, relationships which generally continued through correspondence after the apprentice mathematicians left to teach the mathematical disciplines in the provinces.
By the time that De Sepibus’ catalogue was published, the Musaeum Kircherianum had entered a dramatic phase of decline, only to be resurrected through the efforts of Filippo Buonanni in the early years of the eighteenth century.

 PROFANUM - Musaeum Esotericum
'Musaeum Esotericum' to przedziwna, alchemiczna mieszanka muzyki klasycznej, mrocznego ambientu i Black Metalu.
No, ale koniec końców polecam "Musaeum..." wszystkim tym, którzy są otwarci na coś nowego, oryginalnego, niekonieczne zagranego za pomocą typowego metalowego instrumentarium.
'Musaeum Esotericum' nie tylko robi wieksze wrażenie, nie tylko jest lepiej zrealizowany, nie tylko ma znacznie głebsze, a przy okazji i czytelniejsze brzmienie, ale przede wrzystkim odbija się echem w głowie słuchacza na długo po wyłączeniu odtwarzacza.

In 1656, a catalogue of the Tradescant collection was sent to print, including within it a record of the contents of both the ‘Ark' and its adjacent garden.
Funded almost exclusively by Elias Ashmole, this catalogue, entitled, Musaeum Tradescantianum, was the first of its kind to be published in Britain, and, as such, remains today a landmark in the field of English museological studies.
While the younger Tradescant was credited with the authorship of the catalogue, a considerable debt was owed both to Ashmole and to his friend, Dr Thomas Wharton.
