The telescope was 'invented' in 1608. But what about the events leading up to it? Galileo and his contemporaries were searching for a device with which 'from an incredible distance we might read the smallest letters.' Eileen Reeves tells a story of 'cultural optics': magical mirrors and political intrigue, and investigators looking for magnifying power in all the wrong places, while the solution lay in the humble spectacle lenses on their noses.
It is published by Harvard University Press.
