Image description

Galilei, Galileo (1564-1642), Baglioni, Tommaso, printer. Cover verso detail of note pasted on to front board Quarto "Al Clar: S. Angelo Contarini l'autore" inscribed at foot of title page; note pasted in to front board by James David Forbes: "This "Difesa" was written by Galileo himself. This copy is therefore a presentation copy to one of the Contarini family, Venetian nobles who were his patrons. The writing is Galileo's autograph as I verified in the public library at Venice from Galileo's MSS with the aid of the polite librarian which ascertained the point beyond a doubt. I bought the book of Canciani the bookseller at Venice who had not remarked the inscription. March 1845 JDF. Pasted on to original upper cover is an account by Principal Forbes of his purchase of the book in 1845".
