Momento: Translating Galilean Studies

Join Andrew Rodionov for a presentation on his recent translation of Momento: Galilean Studies, by Paolo Galluzzi, from Italian. This first translation is now available through Springer Nature. Momento: Galilean Studies is a rigorous and comprehensive documentation of Galileo Galilei's scientific work in overcoming limitations of traditional theories of motion and weight. Andrew will discuss the challenges and triumphs he encountered as a first-time translator undertaking the daunting task of approaching such niche subject matter, which itself already involved a great deal of translation from the original Latin. He will also discuss how, as a community user, he made use of Criss Library's collections to complete his work.
