Life

Vasily Subov was born as the son of the chemist, musician, eminent numismatist (the collection now belongs to the Moscow Historical Museum ), patron and philanthropist Pavel Vasilyevich Subow (1862-1921). His father, also called Vasily Pawlowitsch Subow, was among other things Nikolai Rubinstein's successor as President of the Moscow Department of the Russian Music Society .

In 1918, Zubov enrolled at Moscow State University , but soon afterwards had to serve in the Red Army . He was only able to return to the university in 1920. In 1922 he finished his studies and was, until its closure in 1929, an employee of the State Academy of Artistic Sciences ( Государственной академии художественных наук (ГАХН) ). In the following years he worked for various institutions. From 1935 to 1945 he worked at the Academy of Architecture and received his doctorate in 1946 on " Alberti's Theory of Architecture ". From 1946 he was a scientist at the Institute for the History of Science and Technology of the Soviet Academy of Sciences .

Like his ancestors, Vasily Subov lived in a house on Moscow's Bolshaya Alexejewskaya Street ( Bolshaya Communisticheskaya during the Soviet period ) not far from Taganskaya Square. After his death in April 1963, he was buried in Moscow's Vvedenskoye Cemetery.

Research and Honors

Subow researched the development of intellectual history in the Middle Ages and in the early modern period . He was particularly interested in the relationship between language and knowledge and in the relationship between mathematics and medieval thinking . He published an annotated edition of an arithmetic book ( Doctrine of Numbers , Учение о числах, full title Uchenie im zha vedati cheloveku chisla vsekh let , 1136) by Kirik von Novgorod (1110 - around 1156), the first known Russian mathematical Text. In addition, he translated various historical texts into Russian for the first time, including 1958 the Tractatus de configurationibus qualitatum et motuum by Nikolaus von Oresme . In this work, the natural philosopher Oresme had demonstrated around 1370 the equivalence (in terms of the distance covered) of a uniform movement of medium speed with a uniform-non-uniform (i.e. uniformly accelerated) movement.

In December 1963 Zubov was posthumously with the George Sarton Medal Award, the highest prestigious award for the History of Science that of George Sarton and Lawrence Joseph Henderson founded History of Science Society (HSS).

A memorial plaque for Vasily Subov and his father Pavel Subov was placed on the house of the Subov family on Moscow's Bolshaya Alexejewskaya Street.

On February 28, 2008, Marija Wassiljewna Subowa (M. V. Zoubova), daughter of Vasily Subov and professor at the Moscow Architecture Institute , honored the scientist at the International Colloquium Science de l'art en russie dans les années 1920 of the Center franco-russe de recherche en sciences humaines et sociales de Moscou (CFRM) with a lecture entitled: Le concept de «continuum» dans l'œuvre de VP Zoubov .
