Harvard University Press20081 online resource (240 p.) Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-674-02667-5 Includes bibliographical references (p. [169]-218) and index.The daily mirror of empire -- Idle inventions -- Obscure procedures and odd opponents -- The Dutch telescope and the French mirror -- The afterlife of a legend.Galileo and the Dutch telescope have long enjoyed a durable connection in the popular mind, transforming a rather modest middle-aged scholar into the icon of the Copernican Revolution. And yet the speed with which the telescope changed the course of Galileo's life and early modern astronomy obscures his actual delayed encounter with the instrument. This book considers the lapse between the telescope's 1608 creation in The Hague and Galileo's acquaintance with such news ten months later. Along the way, Reeves offers a revised chronology of Galileo's life in this critical period.Astronomical instrumentsEuropeHistory17th centuryTelescopesEuropeHistory17th centuryOptical instrumentsEuropeHistory17th centuryMirrorsExperimentsHistory17th centuryScienceHistory17th centuryAstronomical instrumentsHistoryTelescopesHistoryOptical instrumentsHistoryMirrorsExperimentsHistoryScienceHistory522/.2092UB 2592rvkReeves Eileen Adair1708012MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807372303321Galileo's glassworks4096689UNINA
