It seems to us that in Science and Technology museums, this division is, even today, very sharobjects remain mostly under the domain of specialists, reflecting the importance of studying difthis kind of object to the non- specialists. The present research focuses on the study of the educatioties of historical scientific instruments of a science museum collection. In this investigation thWhat is the impact of the historical value of a scientific instrument with the public that visit a analysis promoted by this study was founded mainly in the Kristof Pomiam`s concept of ‘semióBenjamin’s concept of aura.

ABSTRACTThis dissertation presents a history of translations of a founding text from the Helleniscanon: Ptolemy’sTetrabiblos , which was written in Greek, in Alexandria (2nd century A.D.). It is generally assumed thatscience is transmitted intact along the years, thus grounding the authority of scientific texts and their ais rarely remembered in the history of science, and when it happens, it usually plays a secondary roletransmission of science always implies some kind of rewriting. Therefore the hypothesis here propoTetrabib-

Scientific authors and texts are historical constructs, and the latter arform of rewritten vestiges, linguistically or spatiotemporally separated from the original writings topilgrimage through several languages and cultures has set up what we can call Ptolemy’s “manuscrtextual tradition”. It is to this movable tradition that we will refer to historicize the origins and proceofTetrabiblos from Antiquity to Renaissance.
