Abstract
FEW figures have so struck the imagination of the world as the aged and infirm Galileo. Repressed by the power of the Inquisition, humbled into submission by the temporal power which crushed those deeper stirrings of the human spirit that were leading men to new conceptions of the universe and of man's place therein, “My name is erased from the book of the living”, he wrote to his loved daughter. Yet through well-nigh four centuries the roll of his disciples has not closed.
Memorials of Galileo Galilei, 1564–1642: Portraits and Paintings, Medals and Medallions, Busts and Statues, Monuments and Mural Inscriptions.
By J. J. Fahie. Pp. xxiv + 172 + 47 plates. (Learnington and London: The Courier Press, 1929.) 30s.
