Description

Pupil of Galileo Galilei

Cardinal and pupil of Galileo Galilei. ALS in Italian, signed “Leopold,” one page, 8 x 11, September 21, 1655. Leopold writes to an unidentified recipient. In part, “I have received the notes in regard to Farrelli and sent to Florence. As soon as the answers of the experts come back they will be sent here. Here we are very quiet, really as a villa. I do not know how the Duke of Modena and Prince Tommaso are, especially if it is true that the first account of his wound, and the other because of his fever, are worse.” In fine condition, with some scattered light toning and wrinkling, a paperclip impression to top edge, and several light pencil notations. R&R COA.
