In the court of the Medicis and the Vatican, Galileo fashioned both his career and his science to the demands of patronage and to its complex systems of wealth, power, and prestige. Now, Mario Biagioli shows how Galileo's courtly role was integral to his science--the questions he examined, his methods, and even his conclusions.
