Once again, it's time to go read Galileo's "letter to Christina." All of
your questions about the "queen," what her function is (what it was claimed
to be by Galileo's opponents and what it legitimately is, according to
Galileo), and how it is altered by the "partnership" or "two books" model,
will be answered. This is very old territory--nothing new under the sun.

Galileo's letter is the one text that I require students to read in most of
my courses. There are reasons for this: people keep repeating the past,
often thoughtlessly.
