- W6350401 abstract "The issue of testimony has become a central problem in the history of science. As Steven Shapin has made clear, all aspects of scientific activity are dependent upon certain levels of trust and faith in the words and arguments of others. Scientific practice is thus reliant upon the identification and maintenance of trustworthy informants. This is a situation which becomes more difficult when the transfer of knowledge moves from the face to face encounters of the college or the academy to a new dependence on the testimony of strangers travelling or corresponding from the European periphery. The complex strategies involved in the attainment, maintenance and recovery of trust will be examined through a study of the career of the Portuguese émigré scientist, Emmanuel Mendes da Costa. Mendes da Costa moved from being an intellectual outsider to become a renowned conchologist and antiquarian holding a wide network of correspondents and the clerkship of the Royal Society. In 1767 however the credible reputation which Mendes da Costa had so assiduously cultivated was torn apart when he was found guilty of perpetrating a massive fraud against the Royal Society. Despite his dismissal and eventual imprisonment, Mendes da Costa continued to participate in the Republic of Letters. This paper will examine the strategies which Mendes da Costa deployed in order to recover his position in a network of trust and scientific correspondence." @default.
