Media Reviews
"Much has been written about Galileo's trial, but it is only now that we can steep ourselves in the atmosphere of the incident and read the very words of the main protagonists, often from their own secret correspondence or from private inquisition papers. For the first time, all the relevant documents are made available in Maurice Finocchario's marvelous translation."
