Emeritus Professor Paul Grendler is the Winner of the 2014 Italian Premio Internazionale Galileo Galilei

Congratulations to emeritus Professor Paul Grendler, winner of the 2014 Italian Premio Internazionale Galileo Galilei for a distinguished record of scholarship on Italian Renaissance History. Two Galileo prizes are awarded annually in a ceremony at the University of Pisa, one to an Italian working in the natural sciences, and one to a foreigner who has contributed to the study of Italian civilization. Paul Grendler taught at the University of Toronto from 1964-1998, and published several important works on education, humanism, printing, and the inquisition. Previous winners of the prize include U of Toronto historian Stillman Drake, an international expert on Galileo, in 1984.
