Galileo's Misstatements about Copernicus
Isis 49:319-330 (1958)
Abstract
A recent English translation (Discoveries and opinions of Galileo, transl. by Stillman Drake. New York: Doubleday, 1957) of selections from the writings of Galileo will doubtless bring to the attention of many readers the statements about Copernicus in the great Italian scientist’s "Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina". These statements by Galileo contain five serious errors. To impede their further spread is the aim of the present article.My notes
