Offers a vivid depiction of Galileo's friend, student, and patron, Gianfrancesco Sagredo (1571-1620). The author uses as wide a variety of sources as possible - paintings, ornamental woodcuts, epistolary hoaxes, intercepted letters, murder case files, and others - to challenge the picture of early modern science as pious, serious, and ecumenical.
