Innovators of the early modern period often worked in fields that were far removed from the later application of knowledge in practice. Exploring the intellectual culture of this period is therefore still an opportunity to return to the knowledge that humanity possessed before the advent of modern science and technology, and yet at a time when modern knowledge was already being born. This is exactly what the Scientiae 2023 conference offered. International community of researchers shared the most interesting topics and fresh intise from many diverse disciplines, from the history of astronomy, astrology, humanism, scholasticism, art theory, mathematics, historiography to natural history and philosophy, medicine, cosmology, magic or alchemy. Participants’ contributions focused, for example, on what the medical world of the mid-16th century looked like, early modern mathematics in Europe and China, or the transformations of new knowledge within early modern formal education. Czech scholars highlighted the key figure of the physician and astronomer Thaddeus of Hajek or the exchange of theoretical and practical knowledge across intellectual, confessional and social elites in the Czech lands and beyond. Separate blocks were devoted, for example, to the knowledge of the Rudolphine era or to women as bearers of knowledge.
