The next,Vita di Giordano Bruno da Nolaby Domenico Berti (1868, Turin), quotes in full the official documents of his trial. Frith'sLife of Giordano Bruno(London, 1887), has been rendered out of date by J.L. McIntyre'sGiordano Bruno(London, 1903), which includes a critical bibliography. In addition, W.R. Thayer'sThrone Makers(New York, 1899), gives translations of Bruno's confessions to the Venetian Inquisition. Bruno's Latin works (Opera Latina Conscripta), have been republished by Fiorentino (3 vol., Naples, 1879), and theOpere Italianeby Gentile (3 vol., Naples, 1907).

[227]The publication of A. Favaro'sGalileo e l'Inquisizione: Documenti del Processo Galileiano ... per la prima volta integralmente pubblicati, (Firenze, 1907), together with that of the National Edition (in 20 vols.) of Galileo's works, edited by Favaro (Firenze, completed 1909), renders somewhat obsolete all earlier lives of Galileo. The more valuable, however, of these books are: Martin'sGalilée(Paris, 1868), a scholarly Catholic study containing valuable bibliographical notes; Anon. (Mrs. Olney):Private Life of Galileo, based largely on his correspondence with his daughter from which many extracts are given; and von Gebler'sGalileo Galilei and the Roman Curia(trans. by Mrs. Sturge, London, 1879), which includes in the appendix the various decrees in the original. Fahie'sLife of Galileo(London, 1903), is based on Favaro's researches and is reliable. The documents of the trial have been published in part by de l'Epinois, von Gebler and Berti, but Favaro's is the complete and authoritative edition.
