A workshop on the use of poetry for the teaching of the mathematical and astral sciences in the premodern world.

This workshop gathers historians of science and literary scholars, as well as texts and even astronomical instruments in Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Sanskrit. It thus creates a unique source corpus whose collective discussion aims to facilitate the creation of a community, the establishment of a dialogue and the formulation of a methodological proposal.
