UC Davis Early Science Workshop: Tara Nummedal, "Singing Nature’s Secrets: Michael Maier’s Atalanta fugiens (1618) and Furnace and Fugue (2020)."

Prof. Tara Nummedal (Brown University) will talk at the UC Davis Early Science Workshop about the new, digital edition of poet-alchemist Michael Maier's Atalanta fugiens (1618), with scholarly commentary, which she co-edited with Donna Bialik. Combining word, image, and music in a beautifully realized, interactive format, Furnace and Fugue is a model for the creative potential of a digital edition of an early modern book. The talk will take place January 13th on Zoom from 4:30–6 PM Pacific Standard Time.
