Edited and translated by Maurice A. Finocchiaro, an international authority on

Galileo, this collection makes available to scholars and students an excellent

and extensive selection of Galileo's key works from his early career to the end

of his life - some in toto and some represented by key selections. It presents

not only Galileo's most famous works but also a range of less-known texts as

well as an excellent selection of the documents from the trial of 1633 and from

the 1616 condemnation of Copernicus. In addition to the breadth and quality of

the selections, this volume is particularly attractive to students and

instructors thanks to Finocchiaro's expert and up-to-date introductions,

biographical sketch, chronology, annotated bibliography, and glossary. This is a

must for anyone teaching or studying Galileo, the scientific revolution, and the

relationship between science and religion.
