Hard as it is to believe, what is possibly Galileo's most important
Latin manuscript was not transcribed for the National Edition of
his works and so has remained hidden from scholars for centuries.
In this volume William A. Wallace translates the logical treatises
contained in that manuscript and makes them intelligible to the
modern reader. He prefaces his translation with a lengthy
introduction describing the contents of the manuscript, the sources
from which it derives, its dating, and how it relates to Galileo's
other Pisan writings. The translation is accompanied by extensive
notes and commentary; these explain the text and tie it to the
fuller exposition of Galileo's logical methodology in the author's
companion volume, Galileo's Logic of Discovery and Proof. The
result is a research tool that is indispensable for anyone intent
on understanding Galileo's logic as described in that volume and
the documentary evidence on which it is based.
