I am working on completing a book manuscript entitled, The Peasant Naturalist: Meteorology and Religious Life in Sixteenth-Century Germany, arguing that a basic knowledge of Aristotelian meteorology was shared across society. Vernacular meteorological printed books popularized the image of peasants, men and women, employing learned techniques of natural observation to create their own knowledge of the weather. The figure of the peasant naturalist represents the contemporary idea that anyone could obtain meteorological knowledge. The book traces the interactions between popular meteorology and pastoral theology in Lutheran communities, offering novel perspectives on culture and society in Reformation Germany.
