Dialogo de Cecco da Ronchitti da Bruzene in perpuosito de la stella Nova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dialogo de Cecco da Ronchitti da Bruzene in perpuosito de la stella Nova ("Dialogue of Cecco da Ronchiti of Bruzene relative to the New star") is a manuscript in the Venetian language about a nova and other astronomical subjects, especially the heliocentric system.

Although the book itself claims to be by a certain Cecco da Ronchitti, it has been conjectured that it may have been written by Galileo under an assumed name. The manuscript is presently kept in the library of the University of Padova.
