Condition
Rare first edition. The work, in the form of dialogue, is written in controversy with Riccioli and with Borelli and appears as a defense of the Copernican system and the theory of Galileo.
The author criticizes the theoretical reasons incurred by Riccioli to prove the immobility of the earth: but his treatment is based sull'artificio thin pretend, for the sake of pure hypothesis, that the earth is not motionless in the center of the universe, check what consequences would ensue. Riccardi: “Di molto pregio scientifico è quest’opera dell’A... Egli fu uno dei primi a seguire le dottrine di Galilei sul moto della terra.” DBI: “I dialoghi dell’A., oltre al notevole pregio scientifico, sono documenti importanti per la storia della fortuna del sistema copernicano in Italia.”
