 | | The fate of Galileo's manuscripts after Vincenzo Viviani's death in 1703 (that is, after its 17th century history) is not entirely clear; see, on this subject, BERTI 1875-76; FAVARO 1885. |
 | | What is clear is that the manuscripts had become scattered due to the negligence of the brothers Carlo and Angelo Panzanini, heirs of the Abbot Jacopo Panzanini who had received Viviani's collection of manuscripts through inheritance, see NELLI 1793, II, pp. |
 | | The mention of volumes III and IV of Galileo's works refers to the Paduan edition of 1744, edited by Giuseppe Toaldo (Opere di Galileo Galilei divise in quattro tomi, in questa nuova edizione accresciute di molte cose inedite, Nella stamperia del Seminario, Padova, 1744, 4 volumes). |
