Abstract:

AbstractThis article analyzes the evolution of Mersenne's views concerning the validity of Galileo's theory of acceleration. After publishing, in 1634, a treatise designed to present empirical evidence in favor of Galileo's odd-number law, Mersenne developed over the years the feeling that only the elaboration of a physical proof could provide sufficient confirmation of its validity. In the present article, I try to show that at the center of Mersenne's worries stood Galileo's assumption that a falling body had to pass in its acceleration through infinite degrees of speed. His extensive discussions with, or his reading of, Descartes, Gassendi, Baliani, Fabri, Cazre, Deschamps, Le Tenneur, Huygens, and Torricelli led Mersenne to believe that the hypothesis of a passage through infinite degrees of speed was incompatible with any mechanistic explanation of free fall.

Abstract:

The Lucas-Lehmer (LL) test is the most efficient known for testing the primality of Mersenne numbers, i.e. the integers Ml = 2l − 1, for l ≥ 1. The Mersenne numbers are so-called in honour of the French scholar Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), who in 1644 published a list of exponents l ≤ 257 which he conjectured produced all and only those Ml which are prime, for l in this range, namely l = 2,3,5,7, 13, 17, 19,31,67, 127 and 257 [1]. Mersenne's list turned out to be incorrect, omitting the prime-producing l = 61, 89 and 107 and including the composite-producing l = 67 and 257, although this was not finally confirmed until 1947, using both the LL test and contemporary mechanical calculators [2]. The LL test is based on the following theorem.

Abstracttitle ABSTRACT /title This study examines Marin Mersenne's 1639 Nouvelles Pensees de Galilee, a translation and adaptation of Galileo Galilei's 1638 Discorsi. I use the translation as a window into how Mersenne, a reader trained in natural philosophy, read and understood Galileo's text and, in particular, Galileo's use of experience to support his claims. This analysis reveals that Mersenne drew on a variety of techniques and conceptions of experience in rendering Galileo's individual accounts of experience and experiment. The differences in the way the two authors relate discourse and experience is shown to be linked to their choices of genre and the varying motivations each brought to their texts.

Abstract:

Summary John Bulwer’s (1606–1656) work was unknown in 17th–18th century France. In 1827, when Joseph-Marie Degérando (1772–1842) became curious about the relation between the methods respectively of Bulwer and John Wallis (1616–1703), the pioneer oral instructor of the deaf in Britain, he had to query Charles Orpen, M. D. (1791–1856) in Dublin because no copy of Bulwer’s Philocophus (1648) could be found in Paris. In fact, Theodore Haak (1605–1690) had sent a copy of this book from London to Père Marin Mersenne (1588–1648) in Paris in July 1648, but none of Mersenne’s circle could read English, and Mersenne died several weeks later. In that context, this paper presents a comparison of Bulwer’s views with those of the Cartesians and Port-Royalists. Wallis claimed he knew of no work on speech for the deaf prior to his own, but he must have known about the Philocophus from the time of its publication, five years before his De Loquela (1653) and nearly 14 years before he began teaching the deaf.

A relação entre música e ciência é um capítulo importante na história da ciência e da filosofia. Este artigo procura discutir alguns aspectos das investigações de Marin Mersenne sobre a música e a acústica, tendo em vista o desenvolvimento da teoria da coincidência da consonância e seu compromisso com uma visão mecânica da natureza, pela qual ele estabeleceu as propriedades físicas do som e proporções matemáticas dos intervalos musicais.

Abstract:

Estudos sobre Marin Mersenne enfatizam freqüentemente o serviço prestado por ele à ciência européia, por ajudar na circulação das idéias, tanto pela correspondência como por suas publicações. Mas o próprio Mersenne foi uma figura importante na Revolução Científica com seu próprio programa intelectual. O propósito do artigo é discutir o papel que o contato epistolar com a Itália exerceu no seu próprio desenvolvimento intelectual. Quero discutir também que a transmissão da ciência italiana para a França feita por Mersenne, no final do anos 1620 e início dos anos 1630, precisamente no momento em que Galileu estava em dificuldades em Roma, foi crucial para a derradeira transformação da ciência e filosofia européias. Minha tese é que por causa de seus contatos com a Italia Mersenne continua, de certo modo, a tradição jesuítica das matemáticas mistas que, em virtude da condenação de Galileu em 1633, não poderia por muito tempo ser praticada na Itália, uma tradição que conduzirá a Descartes, Gassendi, e à filosofia mecânica que dominará o restante do século.

Abstract:

Cette thèse doctorale prétend contribuer, premièrement, à soumettre à discussioncette interprétation dominante de la pensée philosophique et scientifique du PèreMinime Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), étant portée et structurée par la question duscepticisme, et deuxièmement, à mettre en avant la manière dont cette philosophieincarne l’esprit de la révolution scientifique du XVIIe siècle par sa capacité de se mettreen question dans sa recherche insatiable de la vérité; une recherche accompagnée d’unsouci de conservation de l’ordre politique et religieux. L’hypothèse principale de notretravail consiste à affirmer une profonde transformation dans la conception de la musique: transformation qui mène d’une science quadriviale et subalterne aux mathématiques,exigeant la soumission au jugement de la raison dans la pratique, à une science physiqueet mathématique, dont la recherche se fonde sur de nombreuses expériences,reconnaissant l’individualité de l’expérience esthétique, la liberté de l’imagination descompositeurs et le caractère ineffable du sublime musical. Il s’agit d’une transformationqui n’est pas exempte de difficultés, car elle ne conduit pas simplement à affirmerl’existence de deux périodes dans la pensée de Mersenne. En effet, il exprime ses doutessur la pertinence de l’approche spéculative lorsqu’il discute avec ses correspondants surla réforme musicale proposée à l’imitation des anciens et ne cesse de rappeler laperfection des rapports numériques des consonances lorsqu’il est prêt à les mettre enquestion en acceptant et en cherchant les fondements de la pratique de l’accordage desinstruments. Or, malgré cette complexité (voire ces contradictions) nous jugeons et nousprétendons montrer que cette transformation est indéniable et que l’épistémologie duMinime doit être analysée à la lumière des problématiques et de nouvelles expériencesscientifiques auxquelles il est confronté et non comme une manière de donner réponseaux arguments du scepticisme
This PhD dissertation provides a critical perspective of the dominantinterpretation of the scientific and philosophical works of Father Marin Mersenne(1588-1648) entirely structured by the sceptical question. The development of his ideasabout music embodies the spirit of the scientific revolution which emerges in theseventeenth-century. His investigation has the capacity to put his methods into questionwith an insatiable quest for the truth; a quest that involves political and religiousconcerns. The aim of this study is to show a profound transformation in the conceptionof music. This transformation that leads from a science of the quadrivium (subordinateto mathematics and claiming superiority of the judgement of reason) to a physical andmathematical science grounded on experience that recognizes the individuality of theesthetic experience, the liberty of the imagination of the composers and the ineffabilityof the sublime. It is quite difficult however to identify the existence of two differentstages in Mersenne’s thought. It is surprising how he expresses doubts about therelevance of the speculative approach to music whereas a musical reform is proposed inhis apologetic writings, having as a model the perfection of proportions of consonancesand rhythmic combinations well known by the ancients. And also, when he accepts thepractice of musical temperament, challenging the observation of the mathematicalperfection, he will continue to remind the proportions underlying the consonances.Despite this complexity (even these contradictions) we consider and pretend to showthat this transformation is undeniable and that the Mersenne epistemology must beanalysed according to the scientific questions and experiences which he faces in hisinvestigations and not as a response to a sceptical crisis

Abstract:

La matière de cette thèse vient de 261 écrits sur la musique décrits (2d vol. ) dans un catalogue systématique (notices et index). Le 1er vol. Est nécessaire à l'étude des aspects fondamentaux du corpus : les modèles de la théorie musicale. Le discours sur la musique est étudié du point de vue de la distance qu'il prend de l'héritage du passé (antique, médiéval, humaniste) : de l'appropriation de cet héritage et de ses avatars. La multitude des modèles potentiels, de leurs interprétations, puis des finalités et des approches des auteurs, génére plusieurs confrontations : Anciens/modernes, théoriciens/praticiens, Français/italiens. Ces visions bipolaires de la musique témoignent de l'impossibilité de la circonscrire par un discours propre. Sont ensuite examinés les liens entre la musique et la science, notamment les aspects de sa codification théorique, telles la compréhension spectrale du son, l'étude des tempéraments musicaux, les recherches d'étalons du temps et de la hauteur.

Abstract:

Le manuscrit 2884 est un autographe du père Mersenne, unique exemplaire conservé à la bibliothèque de l’Arsenal. Cet écrit constitué en livre et chapitres est une théorie spéculative du son et des consonances inachevée. Comme le manuscrit n’a jamais été édité nous en proposons la transcription selon deux pratiques différentes, une selon le modèle de l’École nationale des Chartes et l’autre diplomatique selon le laboratoire de l’ITEM spécialisé dans les brouillons d’écriture. La transcription est complétée par des notes critiques et historiques, une table des théorèmes reconstituée, d’un index des noms propres. Le fac-simile du manuscrit est proposé dans un volume à part. Dans la première partie une étude codicologique permet de situer le manuscrit dans son aspect matériel. Une étude génétique détermine ses liens avec les imprimés du père Mersenne et retrace son parcours général de rédaction. La dernière partie de la thèse tente de cerner les motifs de son abandon par une analyse comparative avec quelques livres de l’Harmonie Universelle. Notre hypothèse de départ repose sur un changement de philosophie naturelle, passage de la philosophie aristotélicienne à la philosophie d’inspiration galiléenne. En effet nous montrons que tout le discours tenu dans le manuscrit 2884 est ontologiquement fondé dans la conception aristotélicienne alors que les mêmes sujets abordés dans l’Harmonie Universelle manifestent une rupture avec ce fondement ontologique ainsi qu’une profonde évolution de ses idées
Manuscript 2884 is an autograph by Marin Mersenne, a unique document preserved in the Arsenal Library. This writing formed of books and chapters is an unfinished speculative theory of sound and consonance. As the manuscript has never been edited we propose a transcription following two different usages, the first according to the model of the École nationale des Chartes and the second a diplomatic transcription according to the laboratory of the ITEM (Institut des Textes et Manuscrits modernes) specializing in drafts of texts. The transcriptions are supplemented by critical and historical notes, a reconstructed table of theorems and an index of proper names. The facsimile of the manuscript is proposed in a separate volume. In the first part, a codicological study makes it possible to describe the manuscript in its material aspect. A genetic study determines its links with the printed works of Marin Mersenne and traces its general course of writing. The last part of the thesis attempts to define the reasons for its abandonment by a comparative analysis with some books of Harmonie Universelle. Our initial hypothesis supposes a change in natural philosophy, a change from Aristotelian philosophy to a philosophy of Galilean inspiration. We show that the discourse held in manuscript 2884 as a whole is ontologically based in the Aristotelian conception whereas the same subjects approached in Harmonie Universelle show a break with this ontological foundation as well as a profound evolution of Mersenne’s ideas

Abstract:

It has been said that Pythagoras discovered the perfect musical intervals by chance when he heard sounds of hammers striking an anvil at a nearby smithy. The sounds corresponded to the same intervals Pythagoras had been studying. He experimented with various instruments and apparatus to confirm what he heard. Math, and in particular, numbers are connected to music, he concluded. The discovery of musical intervals and the icon of the musical blacksmith have been familiar tropes in history, referenced in literary, musical, and visual arts. Countless authors since Antiquity have written about the story of the discovery, most often found in theoretical texts about music. However, modern scholarship has judged the narrative as a myth and a fabrication. Its refutation of the story is peculiar because modern scholarship has failed to disprove the nature of Pythagoras’s discovery with valid physical explanations. This report examines the structural elements of the story and traces its evolution since Antiquity to the early modern period to explain how an author interprets the narrative and why modern scholarship has deemed it a legend. The case studies of Nicomachus of Gerasa, Claudius Ptolemy, Boethius, and Marin Mersenne reveal not only how the story about Pythagoras’s discovery functions for each author, but also how the alterations in each version uncover an author’s views on music.
