SUMMARY:CALENDARS, PROGNOSTICATIONS, AND MATHEMATICS IN  PAUL OF MIDDELBURG (1446?-1534)
LOCATION:Urbino
DESCRIPTION:International Workshop\nMay 7 th -8 th , 2026\n\nUrbino, Via S. Girolamo, 6
 1029 Urbino PU\n\n***\n\n\nPaul of Middelburg (1446?–1534) is notably cited
  by Copernicus – both as bishop of Fossombrone and as an astronomer – when 
 dedicating De revolutionibus orbium coelestium to Pope Paul III. This works
 hop offers the first systematic exploration of Paul’s scientific profile: h
 is mathematical and astronomical work, his activity as astrologer and physi
 cian at the court of Federico da Montefeltro in Urbino, and his role in lat
 e-fifteenth and early-sixteenth-century debates where astronomy and astrolo
 gy were closely intertwined. Paul vigorously advocated a calendar reform, p
 romoted the study of algebra and mechanics, and produced a substantial corp
 us of prognostications. By tracing how he connected calculation, observatio
 n, and predictive practices, the workshop reconstructs a coherent “science 
 of time” and situates it within the scholarly networks that linked the Duch
 y of Urbino with the Low Countries, bridging northern and southern Renaissa
 nce Europe and placing scientific expertise at the heart of contemporary po
 litical life.\n \nMay 7th, 2026\n\nSala della Tartaruga, Palazzo Passionei,
