DIALOGO DI GALILEOO GALILEILINGEO
The front piece of Galileo’s ‘Dialogue’ (1632). Aristotle (left), shown as a feeble Old man; Ptolemy (centre), wearing a turban because he comes from Egypt; and Copernicus, wearing the clothes of a Polish priest, stand on the shore of the Floretie port of Livorno debating questions of physics and astronomy. But Copernicus looks nothing like the Image of Copernicus that appears in other source, where he is always portrayed as a young and clean-shaven . Indeed, the Latin translation by Bergnegger soon corrected this ‘error’, providing a more accurate representation of Copernicus. It seems Galileo has decided to present himself in the role of Copernicus. Over the heads of the three philosophers hangs the curtain which rises at the beginning of a theatrical performance -- a device that was used by Galileo’s engraver, Sterano della Bella, for the frontpieces of plays. Thus Galileo implies that the argument presented in the book are not to be regarded as true, for Copernicanism had been condemned by the Church.
