To what extent did Galileo's silence concerning the cause of free fall impede the acceptance of his theory of motion?Which methods were used, before the invention of the infinitesimal calculus, to check the validity of Galileo's laws of free fall and of parabolic motion? And what sort of experiments were invoked in favour or against theselaws? These and related questions are addressed in this volume.
