  • The Anatomy of Galileo’s Anagram

    Eileen ReevesARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine2024

    This essay offers a new reading of Galileo’s most celebrated anagram, incorporating both the prehistory of his late-1610 disclosure concerning the moon-like phases of Venus, and the awkward “leftover letters,” o and y , of the eventual cypher. It argues for a sustained analogy between components of the optical instrument, musical instruments, and particular anatomical structures described by Galen and elaborated by early modern anatomists in Padu…

    Open AccessEileen ReevesARTICLEThe American Historical Review2020

    There must have been a minor subgenre of early modern tales featuring students struggling with Euclidean precepts. In this category we would find, in the course of a single decade in northern Italy, the music theorist Ercole Bottrigari’s allusion to a boyhood friend who had been unable to grasp the notion of an angle after three years of study, the jurisconsult Francesco de Pola’s casual reference to teachers who drew polygons for those of their …

  • Idiom and Image

    Eileen Reeves, Albert Van HeldenARTICLEIsis2018Referencias: 4

    This essay concerns the authors’ translation of the debate between the Jesuit astronomer Christoph Scheiner and Galileo Galilei in 1611–1612, published as On Sunspots by the University of Chicago Press in 2010. In offering an account of their experience as translators, and of the intellectual aims and unforeseen complications of this project, they have focused on two particular issues. The first is that of the asymmetrical linguistic environment …

    Eileen ReevesARTICLEModern Language Notes2009

    From Dante's Moonspots to Galileo's Sunspots Eileen Reeves (bio) The unscheduled astronomical event seems to have left the strangest of traces in the early modern era. At stake was a personnel problem: the wrong people may well have been the first to witness the emergence of new stars, meteors, and large sunspots in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and the right people were often enough without adequate explanation of these phe…

  • Kingdoms of Heaven

    Eileen ReevesARTICLERepresentations2009

    The astronomical and cosmological views of Galileo Galilei and Paolo Sarpi, while emerging from years of shared observation and discussion, underwent striking differences in presentation in 1610, when telescopic discoveries first received widespread public attention. Such differences can be ascribed to divergent notions of the deployment of natural philosophy and religion

  • Galileo's Glassworks

    Eileen Adair Reeves, Eileen ReevesBOOKGalileo's Glassworks2008

    The Dutch telescope and the Italian scientist Galileo have long enjoyed a durable connection in the popular mind - so much so that it seems this simple glass instrument transformed a rather modest middle-aged scholar into the bold icon of the Copernican Revolution. And yet the extraordinary speed with which the telescope changed the course of Galileo's life and early modern astronomy obscures the astronomer's own curiously delayed encounter with …

    Speaking of Sunspots:Oral Culture in an Early Modern Scientific Exchange Eileen Reeves (bio) "The sun will also give signs; who would dare call it a liar?"1 So the German Jesuit astronomer Christoph Scheiner concluded in an adaptation of verses drawn from the first book of Virgil's Georgics,2 the third of his Three Letters on the sunspots in December 1611. The supposition that the solar body disbursed a legible and even meaningful set of signs th…
