Note 592 — Chapter III · LAST YEARS AND DEATH.
G. (George) Sturge translation
Seven years after Galileo’s death, Vincenzo was occupied in constructing the first pendulum clock after these drawings and models, when he suddenly fell ill and died. For all this see Albèri’s excellent essay: “Dell’orologio a pendolo di Galileo Galilei e di due recenti divinazioni del meccanismo da lui imaginato.” (Op. Suppl. pp. 333-358; Nelli, vol. ii. pp. 688-738.)
