		Suor Maria Celeste to Galileo, 1623 - 1633
		Maria Celeste's fear for her father's safety permeates virtually every line of these letters, even when she is writing about such mundane affairs as the health of a mule or the condition of her teeth.
		Maria Celeste only glancingly touches upon the former but is much concerned with the latter and indeed with all the many ailments and diseases that threaten the lives of those she loves.

	A Filha de Galileu
		Thus Suor Maria Celeste consoled Galileo for being left alone in his world, with daughters cloistered in the separate world of nuns, his son not yet a man, his former mistress dead, his family of origin all deceased or dispersed.
		It might have been difficult for Suor Maria Celeste to condone this course--to reconcile her role as a bride of Christ with her father's position as potentially the greatest enemy of the Catholic Church since Martin Luther.
		Most of Suor Maria Celeste's letters traveled in the pocket of a messenger, or in a basket laden with laundry, sweetmeats, or herbal medicines, across the short distance from the Convent of San Matteo, on a hillside just south of Florence, to Galileo in the city or at his suburban home.

		Suor Maria Celeste's letters touch on these events, but mostly they focus on details of everyday life that connect her and her father: descriptions of confections she sent to him; news of his estate, which she managed while he was on trial; a request for Galileo to fix the convent clock.
		The period in history during which Suor Maria wrote these letters witnessed the occurence of such events as The Thirty Years War, the outbreak of the Black Plague, the election of a new Pope and, last but certainly not least, the arrest and trial of Galileo for heresy.
		Suor Maria, though cloistered in a convent, exhibits considerable knowledge of current events of the day through her commentary contained in her letters.

		Anyway, Maria Celeste, you have been a wondeful friend to me. Your friend Frana is probably a wondeful person and any friend of yours is a friend of mine and she is more than welcome to talk to me, too.

	Galileo's Daughter - A Comprehensive Book Review and Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sobel presents Suor Maria Celeste not as a background figure in her illustrious father's life, but as a constant source of under-standing and support for the man who underwent numerous ordeals in the name of his discoveries.
		Suor Maria Celeste fell ill with dysentery and died at the age of 34.
		Suor Maria Celeste, however, is probably for the first time significantly mentioned in a work on Galileo; her life, chronicled as most likely never before, helps to put Galileo's life into perspective.

		Moving between Galileo's grand public life and Maria Celeste's sequestered world, Sobel illuminates the Florence of the Medicis and the papal court in Rome during the pivotal era when humanity's perception of its place in the cosmos was being overturned.
		The "we" of Suer Maria Celeste's letter speaks for herself and her sister, Livia-Galileo's strange, silent second daughter, who also took the veil and vows at San Matteo to become Suor Arcangela.
		It might have been difficult for Suor Maria Celeste to condone this course-to reconcile her role as a bride of Christ with her father's position as potentially the greatest enemy of the Catholic Church since Martin Luther.

	Letters to Father Translated and annotated by Dava Sobel, Book Review in America, the Catholic magazine with book ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sobel’s new work is a handsomely designed, discretely annotated, bilingual edition of the complete set of the surviving 124 letters written by Maria Celeste to her father between 1623 and her death 10 years later at the age of 23.
		Maria Celeste does not even have a cell of her own in which to sleep, having had to relinquish to her emotionally disturbed blood-sister Arcangela their once-shared space.
		In one letter she begs her father to return the community’s clock, which he was to repair; “otherwise these nuns will not let me live.” In another Maria Celeste tells of the horrendous nervous breakdown of their mistress of novices, who had to be tied to her bed after several violent attempts at suicidal self-mutilation.

		Sobel's Galileo's Daughter, but even for those who haven't, Maria Celeste's letters provide an indelible chronicle of convent life in the early 17th century, a memorable portrait of deep affection between a famous father and his daughter, and fascinating insight into Galileo himself.
		Suor Maria Celeste was the eldest daughter of Galileo Galilei's three illegitimate children.

		In Maria Celeste's day, convents were an acceptable substitute for marriage for daughters of the upper classes.
		Yet, the case of the father confessor taking liberties with the sisters that Maria Celeste refers to in her letters is an example of how difficult it was to properly supervise life in a convent outside the walls of Florence.

		Suor Maria Celeste urged her "`Most Illustrious Lord Father'" to guard his health, encouraged his work, and asked him for favors, such as food and wine, and, one time, for funds that would allow her to purchase a private cell within the convent.
		However, while the letters are models of fervent filial devotion and shed some light on the daily life of a convent, they reveal little about the milieu in which they were written or their addressee.

		Through the letters from Suor Maria Celeste, which Galileo fastidiously kept and Sobel includes in this story, we learn that there was a great bond between the two, and how she comforted and supported him emotionally as he faced the inquisitions of the Vatican for his work.
		It is a shame that the letters Galileo wrote to Suor Maria Celeste were never found.
