摘要

与把衍射现象的发现归功于弗朗西斯科·玛丽亚·格里马尔迪（1618-1663）的标准说法相反，我们表明，这种光学现象早在近一个世纪以前，弗朗西斯科·莫罗利科（1494-1575）就在《问题与透视》一书中描述过。这篇文章可能是格里马尔迪的《光的物理数学》的来源，在这本书中，毛罗里科的观察几乎是逐字逐句地记录下来的。因此，我们必须将衍射的发现追溯到1567年，并重新分配作用。我们翻译了这段话，重建了结果，并得出了这一发现的结果。

An Account of Diffraction Before Grimaldi (1665) in Maurolico’s Problemata ad perspectivam et iridem pertinentia (1567)

Contrary to the standard account that credits Francesco Maria Grimaldi (1618–1663) with the discovery of diffraction, we show that this optical phenomenon had been described nearly a century earlier in Problemata ad perspectivam et iridem pertinentia by Francesco Maurolico (1494–1575). This text probably served as a source for Grimaldi’s Physico-mathesis de lumine, in which Maurolico’s observation is reported almost verbatim. We must therefore backdate the discovery of diffraction to 1567 and reassign the roles. We translate the passage, reconstruct the result, and draw the consequences of this discovery.

期刊介绍： Physics in Perspective seeks to bridge the gulf between physicists and non-physicists through historical and philosophical studies that typically display the unpredictable as well as the cross-disciplinary interplay of observation, experiment, and theory that has occurred over extended periods of time in academic, governmental, and industrial settings and in allied disciplines such as astrophysics, chemical physics, and geophysics. The journal also publishes first-person accounts by physicists of significant contributions they have made, biographical articles, book reviews, and guided tours of historical sites in cities throughout the world. It strives to make all articles understandable to a broad spectrum of readers – scientists, teachers, students, and the public at large. Bibliographic Data Phys.
