Gallilei Galileo. Two New Sciences

London. The Wisconsin Press. London, 1974. - 368 p.This work, Galileo’s last and scientifically his most important, has been translated into Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and French during the past quarter-century, and perhaps also into other languages. Earlier translations into German and English have been reissued. A compendious Italian edition has appeared, in which the Latin sections and Galileo’s manuscript notes on motion are fully translated. This marked revival of interest in Galileo’s physics reflects the maturing of the history of science as a discipline in its right and leaves no doubt of the significance of Galileo in the transition from ancient and medieval to recognizably modern physics. Those same circumstances have rendered obsolete the English translation of this work that has remained standard since its first appearance in 1914.
