450 years passed from Galileo’s birth (1564, 15 of February). A Special Issue proposal emphasizing scientific, historical and epistemological aspects of Iuvenilia–Early Galilean works is necessary as a tribute to his birth.

Therefore, a Call for papers concerning history and epistemology of sciences is proposed:


MAIN TOPICS

Generally, the word Iuvenilia is reserved for Galileo's works in the initial pages of first volume of Favaro's edition (Galilei 1890-1909, I, pp. 7–178). According to the outlined panorama, we propose to extend the word Iuvenilia (it is the general title cited inEdizione Nazionale: Galilei 1890-1909, I, p. 7, p. 9; pp. 7–178) to the whole production of Galileo published before the Sidereus Nuncius, in 1610. We are hence referring to the content of the first two volumes of the Galilean Edizione Nazionale: i.e., De CaeloLa Bilancietta, TheoremataDe Sphaera et Cylindro by ArchimedesDe motu (Ivi, I), and toLe mecaniche, early mechanicsstaticsequilibrium etc. and to two pseudo Galilean non-autographed Fortifications works and (Ivi, II).

Galilei G (1888). Per la Edizione delle Opere di Galileo Galilei sotto gli auspice di S. M. il Re d’Italia. Esposizione e Disegno di Antonio Favaro. Tipografia di G. Barbèra, Firenze.

Galilei G (1890-1909). Le Opere di Galileo Galilei Edizione Nazionale sotto gli auspice di Sua Maestà il Re d’Italia. Favaro A (ed). Tipografia di G. Barbèra, Firenze.

We consider all these contributions as Iuvenilia (and their heritage) given the coherence of the subjects as far as their practical character is taken into account.
