Abstract

Among the documents that are kept in the Chatsworth collection, Derbyshire, England, there are the translations, made by Thomas Hobbes, of the letters written by Fulgentio Micantio, a friend of Sarpi and Galileo, to William Cavendish, the 1st Earl of Devonshire, dated from 1615 to 1625, in which Dominis was a constant theme.
Those letters give us the opportunity of obtaining a different picture of circumstances during that period, in which Dominis was going to England, living there, or returning to Rome.
However, these letters hold for us a great deal of interest in his life, actions and thoughts among his contemporaries, from which many of the details of his life can be garnered.
