Synopsis
The story of how an eleven-year old boy growing up in 16th century Italy loses his birthday when the Gregorian calendar replaces the Julian calendar in 1582, and how he fights to prevent this loss. The author cleverly weaves elements of the cultural and scientific milieu of the time into an engaging and intelligent tale. Tibaldos father is a medical assistant, and his sister is a midwife. Thus, the boy grows up learning about current medical practices and his fascination for medicine makes him a fast learner. Then, when Tibaldo learns that he is about to lose his 13th birthday, he determines to do something about it. The result is both amusing and informative., Tibaldo and the Hole in the Calendar is the story of how an eleven-year old boy growing up in 16th century Italy loses his birthday when the Gregorian calendar replaces the Julian calendar in 1582, and how he fights to prevent this loss. The author cleverly weaves elements of the cultural and scientific milieu of his time into an engaging and intelligent tale. Tibaldo's father is a medical assistant, and his sister is a midwife. He grows up learning about current medical practices by watching his father and sister and by listening to the great Professor Turisanus, for whom his father works. Tibaldo is fascinated by medicine and proves himself to be a fast learner, quickly gaining the respect of Professor Turasanus, who becomes a mentor for Tibaldo and sends him to the very best of schools. However, when Tibaldo learns that the Julian calendar is about to be revised, he realizes that he is about to lose his 13th birthday and determines to do something about this. The result is amusing and informative., This book will also appeal to bright junior high and high school students who are interested in history in general and the history of science in particular., Tibaldo and the Hole in the Calendar cleverly weaves an enjoyable account of the cultural and scientific milieu of 16th century Italy. When Pope Gregory XIII decrees a long-needed calendar reform in 1582, young Tibaldo Bondi loses his birthday. Determined to recover it, quick-witted Tibaldo manages an audience with Pope Gregory and speaks his mind. Beautifully illustrated with drawings that reflect the style of the era, this delightful tale offers a fascinating look at the Renaissance period and will entertain readers of all ages."This delightful tale of a lucky boy is an introduction to the time and place that gave rise to modern science...this book is a delicious, instructive fiction." -SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN"This is a lovely book...it is beautifully produced." -NATURE"This attractive book will make an entertaining and instructive gift for birthday celebrants of any age..." -PHYSICS TODAY
