Io non ho mai potuto intendere, Illustrissimo Signore, onde sia nato che tutto quello che de¿ miei studi, per aggradire o servire altrui, m¿è convenuto metter in publico, abbia incontrato in molti una certa animosità in detrarre, defraudare e vilipendere quel poco di pregio che, se non per l¿opera, almeno per l¿intenzion mia m¿era creduto di meritare. Non prima fu veduto alle stampe il mio Nunzio Sidereo,dove si dimostrarono tanti nuovi e meravigliosi discoprimenti nel cielo, che pur doveano esser grati agli amatori della vera filosofia, che tosto si sollevaron per mille bande insidiatori di quelle lodi dovute a così fatti ritrovamenti: né mancaron di quelli che, solo per contradir ä mie...

(Padova, 7 maggio 1610) Ill.mo Sig.re et Padre Col.mo Come per la mia passata accennai a V. S. Ill.ma, ho fatte 3 lezioni publiche in materia de i 4 Pianeti Medicei e delle altre mie osservazioni; e avendo auta l¿udienza di tutto lo Studio, ho fatto restare in modo ciascheduno capace e satisfatto, che finalmente quei primarii medesimi che erano stati acerbissimi impugnatori e contrarii assertori alle cose da me scritte, vedendosela finalmente disperata e persa a fatto, costretti o da virtù o da necessità, hanno coram populo detto, sé non solamente esser persuasi, ma apparecchiati a difendere e sostener la mia dottrina contro a qualunque filosofo....

Salv. Largo campo di filosofare a gl'intelletti specolativi parmi che porga la frequente pratica del famoso arsenale di voi, Signori Veneziani, ed in particolare in quella parte che mecanica si domanda; atteso che quivi ogni sorte di strumento e di machina vien continuamente posta da numero grande d'artefici, tra i quali, e per l'osservazioni fatte dai loro antecessori, e per quelle che di propria avvertenza vanno continuamente per se stessi facendo, è forza che ve ne siano de i peritissimi e di finissimo discorso. Sagr. V. S. non s'inganna punto: ed io, come per natura curioso, frequento per mio diporto la visita di questo luogo e la pratica di questi che noi,

Galileo's groundbreaking dialogues are a summation of three decades of scientific work he had undertaken in the fledgling field of physics. This edition includes the diagrams crucial for understanding the text.Writing these dialogues in 1638, the elderly Galileo had a life of achievements behind him. Despite attempts at suppression of his writings by the Roman Inquisition, his ideas were successfully communicated across Europe. The motion of objects and resistance to such motion, the concept of velocity, and the laws of gravity are merely a few of the topics covered in these detailed dialogues. At the outset, we are introduced to the three conversation partners: Salviati, Sagredo and Simplicio. These three Venetians embark on a scientific discussion, hoping to explain the curiosities of things such as speed and movement. Over the course of four days, their meetings grow in complexity and scope as they strive to explain physical phenomena.
