L’œuvre de Servius a été lue, méditée et célébrée pendant des siècles, au point que les hommes du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance confondaient ce qu’ils héritaient de Virgile et ce que leur léguait son commentateur. Lorsque néanmoins le texte de Servius était étudié comme un ensemble autonome, il apparaissait comme le modèle indépassable du commentaire. Examiner les structures de son discours, suivre la tradition qu’il inaugure, percevoir ses échos dans les gloses de la Pharsale ou des Métamorphoses, dans le Roman d’Eneas, dans les écrits d’Isidore de Séville, de Boccace ou de Lorenzo Valla, c’est comprendre quelles ont été les pratiques exégétiques, du IVe au XVIe siècle, et comment elles ont ensemencé la création poétique.

This book discusses the impetus-based physics of the Jesuit natural philosopher and mathematician Honoré Fabri (1608-1688), a senior representative of Jesuit scientists during the period between Galileo's death (1642) and Newton's Principia (1687). It shows how Fabri, while remaining loyal to a general Aristotelian outlook, managed to reinterpret the old concept of “impetus” in such a way as to assimilate into his physics building blocks of modern science, like Galileo’s law of fall and Descartes’ principle of inertia. This account of Fabri’s theory is a novel one, since his physics is commonly considered as a dogmatic rejection of the New Science, not essentially different from the medieval impetus theory. This book shows how New Science principles were taught in Jesuit Colleges in the 1640s, thus depicting the sophisticated manner in which new ideas were settling within the lion’s den of Catholic education.
