I contributi raccolti attraversano questi secoli privilegiando di volta in volta un taglio filologico, letterario o linguistico, focalizzandosi su diversi aspetti della produzione scientifica: dalla formazione delle parole al rapporto con la lingua materna, dall’uso del comico per la divulgazione scientifica alla polemica sui margini di libri, da percorsi in lessici settoriali e forme specifiche (architettura, arte, mascalcia, medicina) all’analisi dell’uso della poesia come veicolo comunicativo. Il dato che accomuna tutti i saggi è la magmatica polimorfia del volgare prima e dell’italiano della scienza dopo, segno che l’affermazione e lo sviluppo della scienza passano necessariamente attraverso l’affermazione e lo sviluppo di una lingua per dire la scienza.

He was born in Bologna, in 1552, and he started teaching very young in Florence and in Perugia and finally went back to Bologna, where he held the position of professor of mathematics and astronomy until his death, in 1626. Cataldi devoted his life to diffuse the mathematical culture, and for this reason, he chose to teach and write his works in Italian rather than in Latin, and he printed at his own expense and distributed for free to poor students his most didactical works. He wrote around 30 books on mathematics and some on other topics. He contributed to the theory of Euclidean perfect numbers, discovering the sixth and seventh of the perfect numbers and the sixth and seventh of the Mersenne prime numbers, and he offered a notable contribution to the development of infinite algorithms. His works, all published in Bologna between 1602 and 1626, represented an important advancement to the Renaissance mathematical thought and a perfect documentation of the mathematical knowledge of his time.

He frequented the most important humanists of the time and was part of the Accademia Fiorentina. His literary activity was primarily focused on commenting and trans- lating into Latin the thoughts of Greek writers, especially philosophers and historians. He commented on the Ethics and the Politics of Aris- totle, from Plutarch he drew the lives of Alcibia- des, Demetrius, Hannibal, and Scipio, and he translated into Italian, as appointed by the Signoria of Florence, Leonardo Bruni’s Historiae Florentini populi. He was also personally involved in Florentine political life, contributing to the development of the Medici policy. He was Vicar of the Casentino and Poppi, Superintendent of the Florentine Studio, Ambassador, as well as Standard-Bearer of justice. At his death, the 28 August, 1478, Cristoforo Landino composed his funeral eulogy, and Angelo Poliziano wrote the text for his tombstone.

In his early age, he entered the Dominican convent of St. Stephen, in Bergamo, where he began his philosophical and theological education, which he completed in the Dominican convent of Bolo- gna, where he especially deepened the knowledge of the thoughts and works of Thomas Aquinas.

His major work, published for the first time in 1473 in Bologna, is the Tabula, later defined aura: the most comprehensive and widespread Thomis- tic tabula of its era.
