Galilei, Galileo - Discourse concerning the natation of bodies

for it to remain, than another Body that is leſs grave. And this
is the only true proper and abſolute Cauſe of Natation and Sub
merſion, ſo that nothing elſe hath part therein: and the Board of the
Adverſaries ſwimmeth, when it is conjoyned with as much Air,
as, together with it, doth form a Body leſs grave than ſo much water
as would fill the place that the ſaid Compound occupyes in the
water; but when they ſhall demit the ſimple Ebony into
the water, according to the Tenour of our Que
ſtion, it ſhall alwayes go to the bottom,
though it were as thin as a
Paper.
