16세기 수학과 회화 사이: 존 디의 ‘수학 서문’(1570) 속 수학의 유용성과 학문적 지위 = Between Mathematics and Painting in the 16th Century: The Usefulness and Academic Status of Mathematics in John Dee’s Mathematical Preface (1570)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The mathematician John Dee, who wrote the Mathematical Preface (1570) to the first English translation of Euclid’s Elements, gained fame by systematically organizing the various fields of mathematics in the 16th century. In particular, the large table (Groundplat) he inserted in the preface attracted great attention by providing an overview of the fields that could be called mathematical at the time.
Scholars who studied Dee’s Mathematical Preface have shown that Dee introduced vast fields of arts such as alchemy and astrology as mathematical applications, emphasizing the usefulness of mathematics, and could defend himself against criticism that he was a magician. However, given the status of universities at the time and the strict academic hierarchy, the strategy emphasizing the usefulness of mathematics by presenting various arts as mathematical applications could be an obstacle to revealing the essential value of mathematics and solidifying the academic status of mathematics. This paper compares the mathematical characteristics found in the books on painting published in the 15th and 16th centuries and the way to introduce painting techniques such as the arts of Perspective and Zography in Dee’s mathematical preface. The study purports to reveal what strategies Dee had taken to emphasize the usefulness of mathematics without compromising its essential value. It is to be hoped that this paper will provide a meaningful perspective to understand what position mathematics and painting had in the academic hierarchy of the time and how they were changing.
