The Galileo's library includes more than 500 works which the Galilean scholar Antonio Favaro identified as belonging to the private library of the great scientist (see A. Favaro, "La libreria di Galileo Galilei", in «Bullettino di bibliografia e di storia delle scienze matematiche e fisiche», XIX, 1886, pp. 219-293 and the subsequent appendixes of 1887 and 1896).
Within the numerous research projects which have been undertaken around the person and works of the Pisan scientist, the catalogue of Galileo's library has been downloaded into a database which offers the scholar the possibility to search by keyword, author, title, editor, or date just like other modern consultation systems.
More than 300 works are now available in digital version.
