The manuscript is attributed in a 20th-century annotation to Tommaso Caccini (1574-1648), the notorious Dominican opponent of Galileo, although there is no evidence within the text for this and the script places it some time after his lifetime. The first part of the work does however espouse a pre-Copernican view on the relations of the heavenly bodies.
