“I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.”

― Galileo Galilei

 

Few names are as synonymous with astronomy as Galileo. Known for his astronomical discoveries and physics studies, Galileo is unquestionably one of the most important scientists to ever live. John Bethune’s “Life of Galileo Galilei” is a 19^th-century account of the life and scientific work of Galileo; however, Bethune also includes accounts of the papal courts in Italy during Galileo’s life and their reaction to his scientific and philosophical works.
