Join the Aldus Society of Central Ohio at the Thurber Center for a speaker event with Rhiannon Knol!

Rhiannon Knol will speak about the role wrong ideas have played in Renaissance and early modern science, focusing on the writings of Aristotle, Christopher Columbus, and Athanasius Kircher—and reactions by their readers, from Galileo and Harvey to Sor Juana de la Cruz—and on the ongoing negotiation of authority, empiricism, and imagination in scientific and philosophical discourse.

The Aldus Society brings literary events and programming to book lovers and educational opportunities to members. Some of our members are serious book collectors, some of us are merely lovers of the printed word in all its forms.

This event series was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Spark Grant.
