Eileen Reeves is professor of comparative literature at Princeton University. Albert Van Helden is professor of the history of science at Utrecht University and the translator of Galileo's Sidereus Nuncius, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
"This is an excellent addition to the literature on Galileo and,
more generally, on the Copernican Revolution. It makes available
important works that are relatively inaccessible in their original
edition and have never been fully translated into
English."--Maurice Finocchiaro, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
"This translation is both timely and commendable. Until now,
English-speaking students of Galileo and Scheiner have been poorly
served. For the first time, readers have access to both sides of
this important debate in the same language. This will be an
essential text."--Nick Wilding, Georgia State University
