Le Opere di Galileo: Iuevenilia (vol. 1)

Description

This volume is one Galileo's "juvenile works" (iuvenilia). In it, he references St. Thomas (regarding the question of the eternity of the world; cf. De Æternitate Mundi), St. Albert the Great, et al.; thus, Galileo was certainly familiar with Scholasticism and Thomism.

Lacking in this volume is the MS that Fr. William Wallace, O.P., translated in Galileo's Logical Treatises: A Translation, With Notes and Commentary, of His Appropriated Latin Questions on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics. Galileo did not overthrow all of Aristotle; Galileo's scientific methodology is that of Aristotle's Posterior Analytics.

Duhem mentions this volume in the last section of his Etudes sur Léonard de Vinci (vol. 3).
