An Edition and English Translation of His Dialogue on Mechanics (1576)

The Unfinished Mechanics of Giuseppe Moletti

Sophie Roux

This volume deals with a variety of moments in the history of mechanics when conflicts arose within one textual tradition, between different traditions, or between textual traditions and the wider world of practice. Its purpose is to show how the accommodations sometimes made in the course of these conflicts ultimately contributed to the emergence of modern mechanics.
