Documentary about Bessler - Orffyreus

[Stewart]

Ed and I did some poking around the internet and finally found the documentary on youtube. It has been split into seven parts, but the parts containing the Orffyreus item are parts 3, 4 & 5. Here are the links:

The Orffyreus item is titled "Una Macchina Impossibile" and starts at about 08:20 in part 3.

Here's a link to the TV channel's website (Rai2):

Here's a link to the programme on the channel's replay area, but I couldn't get this to work properly:

Here's a link to Voyager's website:

Some of the youtube clips are flipped horizontally. We ended up downloading each part, flipping them and then joining them together to make one movie file. Hopefully a better version will appear online at some point, but the links above are better than nothing.

With regard to the other people interviewed in the Orffyreus documentary, these are their names and their areas of expertise.

Dr. Cristina Marras, teaching at 'Istituto per il Lessico Intellettuale Europeo e Storia delle Idee', CNR, Roma - (ILIESI), CNR (International Council for Researchs), University of Sapienza, Rome, interwieved as a Leibnitz expert,

Prof. Lino Conti, teaching Sciences Philosophy, at Perugia University,

Dr. Stefano Francoia, of Città di Castello, expert in History and Physics.

I'm guessing, as I don't speak Italian, that the views expressed will be largely anti our own views, probably reflecting the establishment consensus. I'm intrigued by the background of Cristina Marras and her links to the International Association for the study of controversies, if anyone, Damian? can shed further light on her public persona I'd be interested to know more. The same goes for the others too.
