Extractions: In 1998 we celebrate Simon Stevin's 450-th birthday. In the low countries he is not only remarkable for his contributions to mathematics, physics and many other fields of knowledge, but also for his influence on the Dutch language. Like his contemporary Galilei he preferred to publish his findings in his native language and he coined new Dutch terms when necessary, many of which are still in use today. Those who see the WWW as the means par excellence for the dissemination of knowledge will find it appropriate that a home page be dedicated to this remarkable figure who did so much to spread knowledge using the means that were modern in his own time. We hope to extend and improve this home page in the course of the memorial year 1998. One aspect of the Dutch version of this home page might escape those who are not familiar with that language: In what we hope is a playfull appreciation of Stevin's significance for the Dutch language, we will avoid the use of foreign words in the Dutch version of this home page. This makes the enterprise of building this home page similar to Stevin's work in one respect: whereas he had to coin new words for notions that were commonly expressed in Latin, we will have to coin new words for concepts that are normally referred to by English words. Here you will find a short biographical note, a transcription of the titelpages of his works and a discussion of his significance for the Dutch language. (In Dutch)

http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/doc/stevinsp.html

Extractions: The following is the introduction to Vande spiegheling der singconst ("On the theory of the art of singing") in Principal Works of Simon Stevin vol. 5, A.D. Fokker (ed.), Amsterdam, 1955-1966, pp. 413-464. Klik hier voor de originele Nederlandse tekst (website Ad Davidse). Click here for the annotated English translation INTRODUCTION Simon Stevin for some time seems to have contemplated writing a treatise on music. If ever he accomplished this design, the work must obviously have been lost. Only some fragments were discovered in 1884 by D. Bierens de Haan in a collection of miscellaneous manuscripts, which belonged to Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687), the well-known secretary to the Princes of Orange, who, at the same time, was a gifted poet and musician. (Cf. this edition, Vol. I, p. 33, work XV). This collection, now in the possession of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen at Amsterdam, is preserved at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek at The Hague, The Netherlands. Stevin often divided his books into a main part, containing the established doctrine, and an appendix dealing with controversial matters, in order "not to obscure the instruction by dispute", as he says. Accordingly we find two main parts, or sketches thereof, and two appendices. Neither of these treatises is complete, and in the plan they show an appreciable difference in the stress laid on certain points. One draft is in Stevin's own handwriting. It dwells rather more upon discussions than the other. This part will be reproduced hereafter. The other draft, which has been copied as if in preparation for print, indulges rather more in elementary definitions. It shows some gaps, presumably to be filled up later.

Extractions: Stevin Woordenlijst Simon Stevin kon ingewikkelde dingen op een simpele manier uitleggen. Hij moet een ideale vraagbaak geweest zijn voor prins Maurits, die veel interesse had in wiskundige en natuurkundige zaken, en die pas tevreden was als hij "grondelicke kennis der oirsaken" had. Al is Stevins uitleg voor ons wel eens te wijdlopig, we kunnen nog veel van hem leren. Vooral ook wat betreft de zorgvuldige opbouw van een betoog. Een serie van korte opvolgende pagina's laat dit zien. Meester Simons uitleg, met samenvatting, over: De hefboomwet Evenwicht op een hellend vlak (nog te maken, zie orig Waterdruk: hydrostatische paradox ( orig Hoe twee mensen een last eerlijk verdelen: zwaartepunt van een ladder ( orig Meester Simon vond een goede uitleg ook voor zichzelf waardevol, om een theorie te verbeteren.

Extractions: Simon Stevin Inhalt dieser Seite Simon Stevin Technischer Bericht WWW-Links KOMMENTARE ODER VORSCHLÄGE: MAIL US Der Süd-Niederländer Simon Stevin wurde im Jahre 1548 in Brügge geboren. Er ist der Sohn von Anthon und Catharina van der Poort - Hubert. Über seine Jugend ist wenig bekannt, man wei b jedoch, dass er Latein und Griechisch studierte, aber schon früh zeigte sich, dass er eine Begabung für Mathematik hatte. Später war er Buchhalter und Kassierer in einem Handelsamt in Antwerpen. Er führte die italienische Methode der doppelten Buchhaltung in den Niederlanden ein. Nachher wurde er Beamter beim "Brugse Vrije". Nach der Einsetzung des Herzogs Alva ging er auf Reisen nach Polen, Deutschland, Skandinavien und Preu b en. Er verliess das Land aus Protest gegen die Inquisition. Es wurde gesagt, dass er ein Ketzer war, aber bis heute ist nicht bekannt, ob er dem katholischen Glauben abschwörte. Manche sagen er floh vor der Gewalt, der die Protestanten ausgesetzt waren. Man wei b jedoch nicht, was seine wirkliche Auffassung war.

Er werd beweerd dat hij een "ketter" was, maar het is niet bekend dat hij het katholieke geloof afzwoer. Volgens sommigen vluchtte hij voor het geweld waarvan de protestanten het slachtoffer waren. Men weet echter niet wat zijn echte godsdienst was.
