| Samenvatting | Simon Steven (1548-1620) was one of the leading scholars of his day. As a scientist and engineer, he carved a career for himself in the breakaway Dutch Republic of the Northern Low Countries, developing theoretical innovations in mathematics and physics as well as practical innovations in civil engineering and military technology. Less well known is the project that Stevin worked on during the last twenty years of his life, a treatise on architecture and town planning. The earliest mention of De Huysbou occurs in the first volume of Steven's work on mathematics and other natural sciences, Wisconstighe Ghedachtenissen ('Mathematical Memoirs), published in 1605 This book deals with Stevin's unfinished, and until now only partly revealed architectural treatise. A first attempt has made to recreate the envisaged De Huysbou as accurately as possible. De Huysbou will shed new light on the Dutch contribution to European architectural theory from the seventeenth century onwards, and in addition provide rich new source material for the history of science. |
