First sentence: If there was one book that marked the beginning of a new era in the science of motion in the seventeenth century, it was surely the one that Galileo (1564-1642) published in Italian-rather than Latin-at Leyden in 1638 under the title Discorsi e dimostrazione matematiche intorno a due nuove scienze.
