		Nicolas-Claude Fabri &endash; who became Lord of Peiresc in 1604 when his father gave him a small parcel of land of that name in Haute-Provence (the present-day Peyresq, a village rebuilt by Belgian students) &endash; at a young age showed himself to be fascinated by science.
		From Paris, Peiresc was to travel to London, then Holland and Belgium, before returning to Aix-en-Provence, where, in June 1607 (at the age of twenty-six!), after justifying his suitability, he inherited the post of Councillor at the Parliament of Provence, which was passed down to him by his uncle.

	The Life and Work of Athanaseus Kircher, S.J.
		Peiresc, a wealthy aristocrat and councillor of the Parliament of Aix, shared Kircher's interest in hieroglyphics and magnetism, and was able to introduce him to his community international scientific correspondents.
		Peiresc, certain that a breakthrough in the interpretation of hieroglyphs was imminent, sent letters of protest to Pope urban VIII and Cardinal Francis Barberini.
		Within eight years of his arrival in Rome, Kircher's scholarly research was deemed so valuable that he was entirely freed from teaching duties, and was able to devote himself entirely to his writings and experiments.

	Portland Vase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Legend has it that it was discovered in the sepulchre of the Emperor Alexander Severus near Rome some time around 1580, but the first possible historical reference to the vase is in a 1601 letter from the French scholar Nicolas Claude Fabri de Peiresc to the painter Peter Paul Rubens.
		Based on the scenes and the style of the work, the Portland Vase is believed to have been made in Alexandria some time between 20 BC and the year 100.
		Another story says that it was found in a sarcophagus excavated at Monte del Grano (also near Rome) some time between 1623 and 1644.

	"John Baptist Porta" - Della Porta's Life
		He corresponded with Peiresc in 1602, but as he did not share in the connection Giambattista formed with Federigo Cesi in 1603, it is presumed that Gian Vincenzo died before or in that year.
		Through them Peiresc obtained entry into the studios of other learned Neapolitans, such as Ferrante Imperato, and was permitted by Gian Vincenzo and Giambattista Della Porta not only to examine their private museum but to observe their experiments as well.

	H-France Reviews
		Peiresc chose not to publish the results of his voluminous research in part out of a noblesse oblige and in part out of an innate sense that historical narrative per se undercuts civilized discourse.
		But Peiresc's own contemporaries hailed him (in various political metaphors) as the "pilot" at the helm of the ship of learning or as the "stomach" of this new body politic, transforming the nutrients provided by its members into the "juice and blood" that circulates throughout.
		For Miller, the oblivion to which Peiresc was consigned a generation or so after his death is just as significant as the fame that attended his life.

	H-Net Review: Lewis W. Beilin on Peiresc's Europe: Learning and Virtue in the Seventeenth Century
		The fame of Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637) was built on a substantial written correspondence, a few long and very sociable voyages to northern and southern Europe, and frequent personal contacts at his home, conveniently located in the Rhone valley along popular trade routes.
		Peiresc and his fellow antiquaries did not abandon the public roles which many of them were born to play, but neither did they seem to have anything but modest rehabilitative, remedial political goals.
		For Miller, Peiresc is the presumptive dean of the late Humanist antiquaries, scholars dedicated to the recovery and systematic description of the full range of artifacts of past human societies.

		Peiresc was the most prolific correspondent of his age.
		The following analysis of Peiresc's published letters, however, is not so simple, in part because publication is incomplete and in part because a substantial number of correspondents (and disproportionately smaller number of letters) have not been published.

	Pierre Gassendi
		Further, in his work with Peiresc, Gassendi tackled the problem of determining longitude by reference to lunar eclipses, later working towards this goal with Claude Mellan on the first effort to chart the moon.
		What troubled Gassendi and Peiresc, however, was the notion that such an image as cast upon the retina would be inverted, leaving the problem of identifying how we see the world as right-side up.

	Athanasius Kircher's Magnetic Clock
		The French collector and scholar Nicolas Claude Fabri de Peiresc made strenuous efforts to have Galileo's sentence to perpetual house arrest revoked by pleading with Cardinal Francesco Barberini.
		Galileo replied to Peiresc from his Villa in Arcetri, explaining that he himself had made such a magnetic clock some time previously, and suggesting that it was operated by means of a hidden mechanism.
		In 1635, Peiresc suggested to Galileo that the magnetic clock invented by the English Jesuit Francis Line might provide a physical demonstration that the earth, as a large spherical magnet, could be caused to rotate by some cosmic magnetic force.

		In his ‘De captivitate Babylonica Ecclesiae’ of 1520, Luther acknowledged that vows of celibacy, obedience and poverty were “a recognized mode of life,” but he argued passionately that these vows were not commanded by God, obscured the divine gifts of grace and faith, increased pride, and encouraged disdain for ordinary married Christians.
		“In his “De votis monasticis Iudicium”, Luther supplied a theological justification for the view that monastic life is not a higher form of Christian faith and that it contradicts the righteousness of faith as well as Christian liberty.
		It was arranged in accordance with the physical disposition of the collections and it described and illustrated Egyptian and classical artifacts, early lighting devices, musical instruments, plants and grasses, insects, and scientific apparatus.

		Les investigations HST de janvier 1997 ont révélé d'intéressantes interactions entre les jeunes étoiles chaudes du Trapèze et les disques protoplanétaires : leur puissant rayonnement tend à détruire les disques, au point que les étoiles les moins massives, en cours de formation, peuvent perdre la matière nécessaire à la création de systèmes planétaires.
		Comme les dessins de M42 connus à l'époque, dont le premier d'ailleurs, représentaient si peu l'impression qu'en avait Messier qu'il réalisa lui-même un "bon dessin", afin "d'aider à la reconnaître par la suite, pourvu qu'elle ne soit pas sujette à des changements avec le temps" (comme il le note dans l'introduction à son catalogue).
