Even in the league of genius polymaths, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei enjoys legendary status. He was the first to systematically study space with a telescope and his inventions include the pendulum clock and the geometric compass. It is no surprise that his works are a hot commodity on the few occasions they come to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebrated scientist set a new auction record yesterday with an exceedingly rare first edition of his early 17th-century publication\u00a0Dialogo de Cecco di Ronchitti da Bruzene in perpuosito de la stella Nuova.<\/em>\u00a0The landmark achievement of early modern science sold for an impressive \u00a31.1 million ($1.5 million) at Christie\u2019s London\u2019s Valuable Books and Manuscripts sale on July 9. This figure roughly doubled the presale estimate of \u00a3500,000\u2013\u00a3700,000 ($680,000\u2013$950,000) (final prices include buyer\u2019s fees, estimates do not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
