Archimedes Logo Archimedes Project Database Machine Drawings

Acknowledgments

The work on DMD, which took several years, was sustained and completed thanks to unceasing support by Jürgen Renn, Director of Department 1 of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG), Berlin. Our first thanks go to him. The database enjoyed furthermore the support of many colleagues of the MPIWG, in particular its IT Department headed by Dirk Wintergrün—in particular Berndt Wischnewski, Jörg Kantel, Anna-Julia Danisch, Julia Damerow and Christopher Mielack—and its library headed by Urs Schoepflin—in particular Ulrike Burgdorf, Axel Vollmer, Niccolo Aster, and Monika Sommerer. We were also able to make use of several electronic tools developed by the MPIWG in collaboration with other institutions in the context of the ECHO Initiative during the last years. Some of the transcriptions we incorporated were provided by the Archimedes Project. Jutta Miller and Albert Presas y Puig also made valuable contributions to the transcriptions. Furthermore, we would like to thank many people who discussed with us patiently and sometimes passionately several aspects of the machine drawings presented here; in particular Rainer Leng (University of Wuerzburg) and David McGee (Burndy Library).
