Gerbert of Aurillac (Pope Sylvester II) as a Clockmaker
View through CrossRef
Studie analyzuje tři dochované zprávy o Gerbertovi z Aurillacu (zvaný také z Remeše, z Ravenny nebo z Bobbia, v letech 999–1003 papež Silvestr II.) jako konstruktérovi hodin. Benediktinský mnich Vilém z Malmesbury (zemřel kolem 1143) v Dějinách anglických králů píše o Gerbertových hodinách vyrobených v Remeši a popisuje je jako arte mechanica compositum. Benediktin Arnold Wion (zemřel kolem 1610) zmiňuje ve Stromu života, že Gerbert v Ravenně sestrojil vodní hodiny. Dětmar z Merseburgu (zemřel 1018) popisuje ve své Kronice horologium s pozorovací trubicí (fistula) z Magdeburgu. Tyto tři reference jsou analyzovány z historického hlediska a zejména Vilémovy a Dětmarovy krátké zprávy jsou interpretovány jako možné odkazy na časoměrné přístroje – astroláb a nokturláb.
