Notes:
"This volume offers a selection of inedited writings by the Sienese polymath Teofilo Gallaccini (1564-1641) ... Transcribed and edited here for the first time these writings are intended to illuminate the wide range of Gallaccini's activities rather than focus on one branch alone ... The mouthpiece of Gallaccini, the present volume is nevertheless meant to be consulted together with The Telescope and the Compass ..."--Preface, p. vii-viii.
