SUMMARY:Nick Wilding - Forging the Moon; Or\, How to Spot a Fake Galileo - NY HoS Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nick Wilding\, Fellow of the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers\, New York Public Library\, and Associate Professor of Early Modern History at Georgia State University \nThe integrity of the historical record is a prime concern for any historian. It follows that the art of detecting forgeries is crucial to our craft. Early modern print materials have generally been held above suspicion as a technologically impossible\, or at least unprofitable\, subject for forgery. But the emergence in 2005 of a spectacular copy of Galileo’s cosmos-changing Sidereus Nuncius\, furnished with an autograph inscription and hand drawn lunar illustrations\, forced a reconsideration of this assumption. By reconstructing the recent history of the analysis of this single and singular object\, Professor Wilding shows how\, when viewed from different perspectives\, within shifting contexts\, and alongside a choice of control copies\, a seemingly rigorous and secure authentication can gradually lose its certainty and eventually become proof of forgery. \nThis event is free and open to the public\nThis event is part of the New York History of Science Lecture Series. \nSponsoring Organizations:\nNew York University\nGallatin School of Individualized Study\nColumbia University in the City of New York\nCity University of New York\nThe New York Academy of Sciences
