The first half of the 18th century was a florid period for the scientific and literary development of the Republic of Venice and the related University of Padua. The scholars Giovanni Poleni (1683-1761) and Jacopo Riccati (1676-1754) played a leading role in such a scientific environment. Also limiting our attention to the last 30 years, the amount of manuscripts dedicated to them witnesses their historical relevance. Riccati and Poleni were in contact with each other and had a rich correspondence. In 1997, M. L. Soppelsa published this correspondence in a volume with more than 70 letters. Recently, 18 unpublished letters between these two scholars, that were not present in Soppelsa’s collection, have been discovered at the Public Library of Verone and the Marciana Library of Venise. This paper aims to shed light on these scholars’ scientific work according to the newly found correspondence. We also provide a complete and annotated transcription of such letters.
La prima metà del 18° secolo è stato un periodo florido per lo sviluppo scientifico e letterario della Repubblica di Venezia e dell’Università di Padova. Gli studiosi Giovanni Poleni (1683-1761) e Jacopo Riccati (1676-1754) hanno avuto un ruolo di primo piano in questo ambiente scientifico. Limitando l’attenzione agli ultimi trent’anni, i lavori a loro dedicati testimoniano la loro rilevanza storica. Riccati e Poleni sono stati in contatto e hanno avuto una ricca corrispondenza. Nel 1997, M.L. Soppelsa ha pubblicato questa corrispondenza in un volume contenente più di 70 lettere. Recentemente sono state rinvenute ulteriori 18 lettere della corrispondenza, non presenti nella raccolta di Soppelsa, alla Biblioteca Civica di Verona e alla Biblioteca Marciana di Venezia. Questo lavoro getta nuova luce sull’opera scientifica dei due studiosi alla luce delle nuove lettere, di cui viene fornita una trascrizione integrale e annotata.

Abstract
The first half of the 18th century was a florid period for the scientific and literary development of the Republic of Venice and the related University of Padua. The scholars Giovanni Poleni (1683-1761) and Jacopo Riccati (1676-1754) played a leading role in such a scientific environment. Also limiting our attention to the last 30 years, the amount of manuscripts dedicated to them witnesses their historical relevance. Riccati and Poleni were in contact with each other and had a rich correspondence. In 1997, M. L. Soppelsa published this correspondence in a volume with more than 70 letters. Recently, 18 unpublished letters between these two scholars, that were not present in Soppelsa’s collection, have been discovered at the Public Library of Verone and the Marciana Library of Venise. This paper aims to shed light on these scholars’ scientific work according to the newly found correspondence. We also provide a complete and annotated transcription of such letters.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
