Teofilo Gallaccini's (1564-1641) oeuvre represents a nearly intact personal archive covering the sciences, architecture and the arts, medicine and letters. This book examines his thought against the panorama of contemporary events and issues with which he interacted closely - from the astronomical discoveries and condemnation of Galileo to the artistic debates in the Rome of Urban VIII and Alexander VII. A "go-between" disciplines, Gallaccini illuminates the nature of intellectual labor and its sites on the eve of the Scientific Revolution.
