Description
Thomas Salusbury published Mathematical Collections and Translations in 1661 in London, a landmark set of Italian science in English. Salusbury chose and Englished works that English readers could not otherwise reach. Galileo stands at the center of the volume.
The set gives the first English forms of Galileo's Mechanics and his early work On Motion, called De Motu. Works by Castelli and Torricelli, Galileo's heirs in the study of water and motion, stand beside them. Salusbury meant to import a whole school of science at once. It shaped how English thinkers, in Newton's age, first met the Italian founders of modern study of motion.
