Manuscripts
Scientific manuscript containing the text of lectures delivered by Rinaldini at the University of Padua. As well as discussions of Galileo's work, the manuscript also contains an account of Rinaldini's own discoveries, including that of the convection of heat. Latin text in a neat cursive hand with many illustrative diagrams in the text. Contemporary vellum-backed boards covered in paper with decorative floral motifs, with some damp staining but no loss of text.
