Fundación Juanelo Turriano has acquired a previously unknown manuscript entitled De la idea del firmamento [On the firmament] by Leonardo Turriano, in which the author described the appearance of a new supernova in 1604.

L. Turriano is the subject of an earlier book published by the foundation, Leonardo Turriano ingeniero del rey [Leonardo Turriano, royal engineer], edited by Alicia Cámara Muñoz, professor of art history with the UNED and member of the foundation’s Advisory Commission.

 The manuscript is being restored for subsequent study and publication.

A new title in the Colección Juanelo Turriano de Historia de la Ingeniería [Juanelo Turriano Collection on the History of Engineering] is now available in our Digital Library.

El ‘yngenio’ en palacio. Arte y ciencia en la corte de los Austrias (ca. 1585-1640) [Court ingenuity: Habsburg art and science (ca. 1585-1640)], was authored by Margarita Ana Vázquez Manassero, winner of one of the second prizes in the 2017 edition of the García-Diego International Prize.
