The University of Michigan announced that its supposed Galileo manuscript is a 20th-century forgery.
A handwritten document thought to have been penned by Galileo Galilei is actually a forgery, the University of Michigan has announced.
"It was pretty gut-wrenching when we first learned our Galileo was not actually a Galileo," Donna L. Hayward, the interim dean of Michigan's libraries, told the New York Times last week. The top of the manuscript is a draft of a letter that Galileo wrote before a presentation about a new telescope to the Doge of Venice in 1609. The famed astronomer really did write a version of this letter — a final draft is in the State Archive in Venezia, Italy. The lower half of the document is a set of notes on the moons of Jupiter, also based on real notes Galileo took. The final draft of those notes is also found in Italy, at the Florence National Central Library.
