➊ 他的书《欧洲杯买球怎么投注》 Astrology and the Politics of Maximilian I (2015): It’s about the social value and assumed intellectual authority of the science of astrology, 以及哈布斯堡王朝的皇帝, 在15世纪末, used it as a political tool in the Holy Roman Empire. His was an elected position, always under threat from the local princes and dukes. But Maximilian was innovative in trying to subvert their resistance by enlisting broader swaths of the empire. The case I try to make is that in this process of expanding what it meant to be a political leader, 占星术发挥了重要作用.

➋ 杯: Every Christmas I say to my kids, don’t buy me anything. 给我做个咖啡杯. So my son, Pierce, who’s now 16, was into penguins, and he made the coffee cup. As I recall, my daughter, Zöe, who’s 10, made the pen cup. 我觉得它是个怪物. [Hayton’s wife, Catherine, works at a Center City executive recruiting firm.]

➌ 打印: That’s the Radcliffe Camera, an iconic building at Oxford University. 在我来欧洲杯买球app官网之前, 我在牛津大学有个研究任务, and I worked just around the corner from there at the Museum of the History of Science. [Former 欧洲杯买球怎么投注 history professor] John Spielman gave me that print. 他是我的好朋友，现在他去世了. He also worked on the Habsburgs, and we had a lot in common intellectually and otherwise. Coincidentally, I now live in John’s old house near campus because he sold it to us. But I used to walk over a couple of times a month to have coffee— and really good finger foods in the afternoon— and talk to him about Habsburg stuff. 太棒了.

➍ 照片: The tree shot I took at Valley Forge, and the other was taken at Ridley Creek State Park. I spend a lot of time hiking, backpacking—often out West—and taking these photographs. I spend way too much of my time outside wandering around with a camera—or, 实际上, 没有我想要的那么多时间. 我在办公室里放了一台照相机, 并定期, 当我有动力需要休息的时候, 我只是拿着它在校园里闲逛.

➎ 钢笔和墨水: 我几乎所有的写作都是用钢笔. My fountain pens all have colored ink that matches the barrels, and I have way too many of them. I have an Edgar Allan Poe limited-edition pen that someone gave me, and a wooden one that was handmade by a guy in Arizona There’s a real tactile pleasure in writing with a fountain pen, and also my hand doesn’t get nearly as tired because the ink just flows out.

➏ 书: Those are catalogs of manuscript collections from European libraries. Most of what I need for my reSearch is not online. 它甚至没有在网上分类, and so I buy these catalogs—many of them are reprints of 19th-century volumes— and thumb through them, 寻找我需要的东西. With these, I might find out where maybe a tenth of what I’m looking for exists. For the rest, I end up spending lots of time in archives.

➐ 星座: This is a horoscope that one of my former students, James Truitt ’17, cast for me. He took the time to construct it in the form of what would have been a valid horoscope in, say, 1500. A modern-day astrologer would say there are planets missing—those were the only planets they knew of then. And they might use different methods for dividing up the houses, but they would totally recognize it.

➑ 星盘: Astrolabes were the most widely used scientific instrument until the invention of the telescope; and they could be used to tell time, to determine which stars were above or below the horizon, 或者帮忙占卜. This is a Gothic-style astrolabe made by a contemporary craftsman in Switzerland for me to use as a teaching tool. 我在入门课上经常用它. I hand it to students and say, “Go out and find out the time.” It’s a nice exercise in thinking about how scientific knowledge is 实际上 so wedded to objects, and it makes students think about time differently.
