| − | While the family's main residence was in city of [[Šibenik]], they owned a big summer house on island [[Prvić]], in place Šepurine, a neighboring place to Prvić Luka (where he is buried in local church). The baroque castle that was used by Vrančić family as summer residence is now in possession of family Draganić.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Education and political activities===
| |
| − | As a youth, Veranzio was interested in science. Still a child, he moved to [[Venice]], where he attended schools, and then to [[Padua]] to join the [[University of Padua|University]], where he focused on [[law]], [[physics]], [[engineering]] and [[mechanics]]. <br/>
| |
| − | At the court of [[Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor|King Rudolf II]], in [[Hradcany]] Castle, in Prague, Veranzio was chancellor for [[Hungary]] and [[Transylvania]] often in contact with [[Johannes Kepler]] and [[Tycho Brahe]]. After his wife's death,<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=6r9y2f5OjVsC&pg=PA115&dq=Faust+Verantius&hl=en&ei=4-L4S7fMCsXJcYuxxOYL&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CD8Q6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Faust%20Verantius&f=false Cultural Link Kanada, Deutschland:] Festschrift zum Dreissigjährigen Bestehen by Beate Henn-Memmesheimer & David Gethin John</ref> Veranzio left for Hungary. In 1598, he got the title of ''Episcŏpus Csanadiensis''<ref>[[Diocese of Csanád|bishop of Csanád]]</ref> ''in partibus'' (even if he never set foot in Csanád). In 1609, back in Venice, he joined the brotherhood of [[Paul of Tarsus|Saint Paul of Tarsus]] ([[barnabites]]) and committed himself to the study of science. Veranzio died in 1617 in Venice and was buried in Dalmatia, near his family's countryhouse.<ref>on the [[Island of Prvić]] in the [[Adriatic Sea]].</ref>

| − | ==Polymath and inventor==
| |
| − | Veranzio's masterwork, ''Machinae Novae'' (Venice 1595), contained 49 large pictures depicting 56 different [[machine]]s, [[tool|device]]s, and technical [[concepts]]. <br/>
| |
| − | Two variants of this work exist, one with the ''"Declaratio"'' in Latin and Italian, the other with the addition of three other languages. Only a few copies survived and often do not present a complete text in all the five languages. This book was written in Italian, [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[French language|French]] and [[German language|German]].<ref name = "Malvasi Library">[http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mostradellibroantico.it%2Fexpo21%2Fmain.php%3Fid%3D252%26idom%3D320 Original ''Machine Novae'', Fausto VERANZIO] - Malavasi Library, Milan - a complete and very detailed description of first and second edition of Veranzio's most famous work, "''Machine Nove''"</ref> The tables represent a varied set of projects, inventions and creations of the author. There Veranzio wrote about water and solar energy, the universal clock (Plates 6–7), several types of mills, agricultural machinery, various types of bridge in various materials, machinery for clearing the sea, a dual sedan traveling on mule (Plate 47), special coaches, and ''Homo Volans'' (Plate 38) a forerunner of the parachute. His work included a ''portable boat'' (Plate 39), that is say a boat that, thanks to the same energy as the current may go against the river (Plate 40). It was his idea to use the printing rotary principle (e.g. grinding them printers, Plate 46) in order to alleviate the great difficulty of printers and improve results.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite the extraordinary rarity of this book (because the author published it at his own expense, without a publisher and having to stop printing because of lack of funds),<ref name = "Malvasi Library" /> the ''Machinae Novae'' was the work which mainly contributed to Veranzio's popularity around the world. His design pictures were even reprinted a few years later and published in China.<ref>Weiying Gu, Ku Wei-Ying,[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=uDdDaXtUhPQC&pg=PA184&dq=linguist+I%E2%80%8E+Veranzio&lr=&hl=en&cd=2#v=onepage&q=Veranzio&f=false Missionary approaches and linguistics in mainland China and Taiwan], Leuven University Press, 2001 - ISBN 9058671615 - Page 184</ref>

| |
| − | [[File:Fausto Veranzio homo volans.jpg|thumb|160px|''"Machinae Novae"'' plate n. 38: Veranzio's parachute]]
| |
| − | One of the illustrations in ''Machinae Novae'' is a sketch of a parachute dubbed ''Homo Volans'' ("The Flying Man"). Having examined [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s rough [[Sketch (drawing)|sketch]]es of a [[parachute]], Veranzio designed a parachute of his own.<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=quCh9tAW1jcC&pg=PA176&dq=Technology+and+Culture,+veranzio&hl=en&ei=VWf7S9KLPIbd-QbUyJDcAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=veranzio&f=false "The Invention of the Parachute"], by [[Lynn White, Jr.]] in: ''[[Technology and Culture]]'', Vol. 9, No. 3.

| − | He is considered the first man to build and test a parachute: in 1617, now over sixty-five years old, he implemented his design and tested the parachute by jumping from [[St Mark's Campanile]] in Venice.<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?lr=&cd=27&num=100&as_brr=0&id=TM2EAAAAIAAJ&dq=Fausto+Veranzio+italian&q=Fausto+Veranzio#search_anchor ''He's in the paratroops now''], Alfred Day Rathbone, R.M. McBride & Company, 1943, University of California.</ref> This event was documented some 30 years after it happened in a book<ref>The book mentioning Veranzio parachute jump is [[John Wilkins]]'s ''Mathematical Magic of the Wonders that may be Performed by Mechanical Geometry'', ''Part I: Concerning Mechanical Powers Motion'', and ''Part II, Deadloss or Mechanical Motions'' (London, 1648)</ref> written by [[John Wilkins]], the secretary of the [[Royal Society]] in London.

| − | ===Mills===
| |
| − | His areas of interest in engineering and mechanics were broad. Mills were one of his main point of research, where he created 18 different designs. He envisioned [[windmill]]s with both vertical and horizontal [[Axis of rotation|axes]], with different wing constructions to improve their efficiency. The idea of a mill powered by tides incorporated accumulation pools filled with water by the high tide and emptied when the tide ebbed, simply using [[gravity]]; the concept has just recently been engineered and used.

| |
| − | | |
| − | By order of the [[Pope]], he spent two years in [[Rome]] where he envisioned and made projects needed for regulating rivers, since Rome was often flooded by the [[Tiber]] river.<ref name = "1856 Rome and Venice" /> He also tackled the problem of the wells and water supply of Venice, which is surrounded by sea.<ref name = "1856 Rome and Venice">[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fngtAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA263&dq=Veranzio+%22Tevere%22&hl=en&ei=idr_S4r8MIqc-AbyhsmkCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Veranzio%20%22Tevere%22%20%22Venezia%22&f=false ''Biblioteca italiana, o sia giornale di letteratura, scienze ed arti''], Vol 53, New York Public Library, 1829 {{it}}</ref> Devices to register the time using water, fire, or other methods were envisioned and materialized. His own sun clock was effective in reading the time, date, and month, but functioned only in the middle of the day.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The construction method of building metal bridges and the mechanics of the forces in the area of statics were also part of his research. He drew proposals which predated the actual construction of modern [[suspension bridge]]s and [[cable-stayed bridge]]s by over two centuries. The last area was described when further developed in a separate book by mathematician Simon de Bruges ([[Simon Stevin]]) in 1586.

| |
| − | [[File:Fausto Veranzio Pentadictionarium.jpg|thumb|right|160px|[[Book frontispiece|Frontespiece]] of the ''Dictionarium quinque lingarum'']]
| |
| − | Veranzio was the author of a five-language [[dictionary]],<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=cqBkQFiTbX4C&pg=PA91&dq=Faust+Verantius&hl=en&ei=Deb4S6bvNo6lceiVjecL&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=Faust%20Verantius&f=false Dictionaries in Early Modern Europe:] Lexicography and the Making of Heritage by John P.

These he called the "five noblest European languages" ("''quinque nobilissimarum Europæ linguarum''").<ref name = "eptadictionary">When Petrus Lodereckerus published in 1606 his ''[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Xn0jPAAACAAJ&dq=Petrus+Lodereckerus&hl=en&ei=69z_S7LFHYXX-QaL8smkCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA Dictionarivm septem diversarvm lingvarvm], videlicet Latine, Italice, Dalmatice, Bohemicè, Polonicè, Germanicè, & Vngaricè, vna cum cuiuslibet linguæ registro siue repertorio vernaculo, Singulari studio & industria collectum a Petro Lodereckeroin'' ([[Prague]]), he included two more languages than Veranzio's ''pentadictionary'': [[Czech language|Czech]] and [[Polish language|Polish]], with the addition of indices in Latin for each language.</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ''Dictionarium'' is a very early and significant example of both Croatian and Hungarian lexicography, and contains, in addition to the parallel list of vocabulary, other documentation of these two languages. In particular, Veranzio listed in the ''Dictionarium'' 304 Hungarian words that he deemed to be [[loanword|borrowed]] from Croatian. Also, at the end of the book, Veranzio included Croatian language versions of the [[Ten Commandments]], the [[Lord's Prayer]], the [[Ave Maria]] and the [[Apostles' Creed]].<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=tSqyOQAACAAJ&dq=Faust+Vran%C4%8Di%C4%87&cd=4 Was Faust Vrančić the first Croatian lexicographer?]", by Branko Franolić, Annali Istituto Orientale di Napoli, Volume 19, 1976, p.178-182</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | In an extension of the dictionary called ''Vocabula dalmatica quae Ungri sibi usurparunt'', there is a list of Proto-Croatian words that entered the [[Hungarian language]]. The book greatly influenced the formation of both the Croatian and Hungarian [[orthography]]; the Hungarian language accepted his suggestions, for example, the usage of ''ly'', '' ny'', ''sz'', and ''cz''. It was also the first dictionary of the Hungarian language, printed four times, in Venice, [[Prague]] (1606), [[Pozsony|Pozun]] (1834) <ref>Today [[Bratislava]] in [[Slovakia]]</ref>, and in [[Zagreb]], [[Yugoslavia]], in 1971. The work was an important source of inspiration for other European dictionaries such as an Hungarian and Italian dictionary written by [[Bernardino Balli]], a German ''Thesaurus polyglottus'' by [[Humanism|humanist]] and [[lexicographer]] [[Hieronim Megister]], and multilingual ''Dictionarium septem diversarum linguarum'' by [[Peterus Lodereckerus]] of Prague in 1605.<ref name = "eptadictionary" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===History and philosophy===
| |
| − | Only a few of Veranzio's works related to history remain: ''Regulae cancellariae regni Hungariae'' and ''De Slavinis seu Sarmatis in Dalmatia'' exist in manuscript form, while ''Scriptores rerum hungaricum'' was published in 1798. In ''Logica nova'' ("New logic") and ''Ethica christiana'' ("Christian ethics"), which were published in a single Venetian edition in 1616, Veranzio dealt with the problems of [[theology]] regarding the ideological clash between the [[Protestant Reformation|Reformation]] movement and [[Catholicism]]. [[Tommaso Campanella]] (1568–1639) and the [[Archbishop of Split]] [[Marco Antonio de Dominis]] (1560–1624) were his intellectual counterparts.

| |
| − | [[File:Wells museum in sibenik 2.JPG|thumb|140px|Veranzio's parachute in Šibenik's Wells Museum]]
| |
| − | Veranzio published some of his last works under the name "''Giusto Verace''"<ref>The pseudonym ''"Giusto Verace"'' is a sort of ''pun'' in Italian: means "just (righteous) and genuine (truthful)".</ref>. Some of them were never printed, left in the form of [[manuscripts]]. Some were sold to stay in big archives in the capitals of [[Austria]] or Hungary, while some were lost forever.

| |
| − | When [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]] (1889–1951), Austrian-British philosopher and mathematician, moving from Berlin to England, began studying [[mechanical engineering]] in 1908, he was highly influenced by his reading of Renaissance technical treatises, particularly Veranzio's ''Machinae Novae''.<ref>F.
