Bonanni's Gabinetto Armonico

Filippo Buonanni (or Bonanni) was a Jesuit erudite from Rome, with a keen interest in physics and science, as well as music.

He is mostly known for the long debate he fought with some intellectuals of his time over spontaneous generation – the idea that life can spring from inanimate objects, without any external, organic input, which was at the center of a heated debate at the time.

Buonanni believed in this theory and wrote a number of works on the subject, but his erudition was boundless and often ventured into the realm of music as well.

• In 1722, he published “Gabinetto armonico” (Harmonic Cabinet”), in which he wrote about the history of music and illustrated a collection of instruments from the Roman College – the prestigious school founded in Rome by Saint Ignatius of Loyola for the education of priests.

• Buonanni dedicated this “catalog of various sound and music instruments” to the prophet David: “You were the first author for most of them, so they could accompany the choir of Singers you entrusted with celebrating the worship of the Creator in the Sanctuary, giving Hebrew people a glimpse of the constant singing with which the Blessed Spirits in the Heavens constantly worship Divine People.”

• Filippo Buonanni, Rome, Italy, natural sciences. Buonanni, one of the most learned Jesuits of his time, was a pupil of Athanasius Kircher, and in 1680 succeeded his master as teacher of mathematics at the Collegium Romanum; in 1698, he was appointed curator of the Kircherian Museum, which he described in his "Museum Collegii Romani Kircherianum (1709)".

Erudite in a number of fields, including numismatics and ecclesiastical history (writing on both subjects), Buonanni made extensive studies in the natural sciences; he constructed his own microscope with three lenses (according to Tortona's system), which proved to be an ingenious mechanism for continual observation. In his Ricreazione dell'ochio e della mente nell'observazione della chiocciole (1681), a work valuable for its many illustrations of shells, he explicitly affirmed his belief in the spontaneous generation of mollusks and rekindled the controversy over generation that had flared in 1671 between Kircher and Francesco Redi.

Buonanni's position was anachronistic, since the Aristotleian theory of spontaneous generation had been disproved by Redi in his Esperienze intorno all generazione degli insetti (1668) and by Marcello Malpighi, who had demonstrated the pathogenesis of oak galls from the development of fertilized insect eggs in his Anatome plantarum (1679).....

He based his belief in the spontaneous generation of mollusks partly on the authority of Aristotle and Kircher and partly on a report by Camillo Picchi of Ancona...he was convinced, as he stated in his Ricreazione, that the mollusks had no hearts. If this were so, they had no blood; Aristotle had written that no bloodless animal is oviparous, and that "all conches are generated spontaneously by the mud - oysters by dirty mud, the others by sandy mud". Convinced that the conches were heartless and bloodless, Buonanni believed that both observation and authority supported the idea of spontaneous generation."
