KlappentextNaturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen waren in der Frühen Neuzeit weit verbreitet. Im Zentrum des vorliegendes Bandes steht die wechselvolle Sammlungsgeschichte des Mathematisch-Physikalischen Kabinetts des ehemaligen Jesuitenkollegs in Köln von seinen Anfängen im 17. Jahrhundert bis heute. Politische und (kirchen-)historische Ereignisse beeinflussten die Organisation, Funktion und den Instrumentenbestand. Bereits im 18. Jahrhundert, aber v.a. in französischer Zeit um 1800 entwickelte sich die jesuitische Sammlung zu einem Kabinett der Mathematik und Physik, mit dem Georg Simon Ohm später seine bedeutende Entdeckung, das Ohmsche Gesetz, vorbereitete. Im Kontext der wissenschaftshistorischen Entwicklung hin zur modernen Naturwissenschaft hat das Kölner Kabinett diesen großen Wandel im Kleinen aktiv mitgestaltet.
Natural science collections were widespread in the early modern period. This volume focuses on the eventful collection history of the Chamber of Mathematics and Physics of the former Jesuit College in Cologne from its 17th-century beginnings to the present day. Political and (ecclesiastical) historical events influenced the organisation, function, and collection of instruments. As early as the 18th century, but more especially in the French period around 1800, the Jesuit collection developed into one of mathematics and physics, which Georg Simon Ohm later used to prepare for his important discovery of Ohm's Law. In the context of science's historical development towards modern natural science, the Cologne chamber played an active role, helping to shape this major transformation on a small scale.
