商品描述
This book comprises a fascinating collection of contributions on the Merz telescopes in Italy that collectively offer the first survey on historical large refracting telescopes in the country, drawing on original documents and photographs. It opens with a general introduction on the importance of Merz telescopes in the history of astronomy and analyses of the local and international contexts in which the telescopes were made. After examination of an example of the interaction between the maker and the astronomer in the construction and maintenance of these refractors, the history of the Merz telescopes at the main Italian observatories in the nineteenth century is described in detail. Expert testimony is also provided on how these telescopes were successfully used until the second half of the twentieth century for research purposes, thus proving their excellent optical qualities.

本書是一部引人入勝的作品，收錄了有關意大利 Merz 望遠鏡的貢獻，這些貢獻共同提供了該國歷史上大型折射望遠鏡的首次調查，並參考了原始文件和照片。書中首先介紹了 Merz 望遠鏡在天文學歷史中的重要性，以及製造這些望遠鏡的地方和國際背景的分析。在檢視製造者與天文學家在這些折射望遠鏡的建造和維護過程中的互動範例後，詳細描述了十九世紀主要意大利天文台的 Merz 望遠鏡的歷史。此外，還提供了專家的證詞，說明這些望遠鏡如何在二十世紀下半葉成功用於研究目的，從而證明了它們卓越的光學品質。
