Review“This book, part of the ‘Archimedes’ series, brings together the history of science, technology, and philosophy, weaving a rich narrative that reveals how ancient mechanics informed—and at times collided with—the emerging scientific ideas of the Renaissance. Laird’s work stands as a notable contribution to the historiography of early modern science, bridging classical and humanistic traditions with the nascent scientific methodologies that would ultimately lead to the scientific revolution.” (Pier Daniele Napolitani, Nuncius, Vol. 40 (3), November, 2025)“The Renaissance of Mechanics exhibits considerable depth and a unique perspective on the history of mechanics. It covers the classic tradition and includes a complete integration of historical materials. The book itself is more than enough to serve as a textbook for the history of mechanics, considering its clear structure, stress on connections between authors and beautifully drawn illustrations. … It will lay the new groundwork for all future studies of Renaissance mechanics.” (Yuqi Sun, The British Journal for the History of Science, August 27, 2025)

This book gives an account of the origins of theoretical mechanics in antiquity, its limited reception in the Arabic and Latin Middle Ages, and its recovery and subsequent development in Italy to the time of Galileo. From late antiquity to the fifteenth century, the ancient science of mechanics―the theory of machines―was almost completely unknown in the Latin west. Then, from the mid-fifteenth century on, Italian humanists began to recover the ancient texts, and from them through the sixteenth century Italian mathematicians restored the ancient science of mechanics. The Renaissance of Mechanics first examines the principal ancient works on mechanics―the Aristotelian Mechanical Problems, the mechanical geometry of Archimedes, and Hero’s Mechanics―and then describes their limited reception in the Arabic world and their even more limited transmission to the medieval Latin west. It then traces their recovery in the fifthteenth century and their assimilation inthe sixteenth by Niccolò Tartaglia, Francesco Maurolico, and Guidobaldo dal Monte, culminating in Galileo’s rediscovery of Hero’s lost mechanical principles. The book ends with an examination of Galileo’s mechanics and its relation to his new science of motion, and suggests how modern mechanics would emerge from these ancient roots. Detailed analyses of these works offer new insights and interpretations while remaining accessible to general historians. The Renaissance of Mechanics will be of especial interest to those working in the fields of renaissance humanism and the history of ancient, medieval, and renaissance science and mathematics.
