Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Printing. Galileo's daughter led a cloistered life in a gilded age. She entered a convent near Florence at age 13 and spent the rest of her days as Sister Maria Celeste. Her letters to her father span a decade.

Not only that, the Thirty Years War had embroiled all of Europe and the bubonic plague had erutped in Germany, ravaging Florence until stemmed by a miracle.
