Here's an introductory exposition of the development of the physical & astronomical notions of the cosmos. It covers the period from Greek antiquity to the Copernican revolution & the Renaissance, half of it being devoted to medieval science within both the Aristotelian & the Archimedean traditions. The book is intended for a general audience interested in intellectual & scientific developments, but should also be useful as a guide to further studies. Thus it has an extensive bibliography classifying much of the secondary literature on the subject, & also a 60 page dictionary of all the scientists & philosophers mentioned in the text. This contains references to printed editions of the sources & to a selection of books & periodicals.
