Abstract
The first thing to note about the methodological content of Galileo’s Dialogue is that it is more or less evenly spread throughout the book. As Table I (below) indicates, the First Day contains on the average a distinct methodological discussion about every 10 pages,1 the Second Day about every 7¼ pages, the Third Day every 9 pages, and the Fourth every 8 pages. In other words, the methodological intensity of the book does not vary much from beginning to end.
