Description
Excerpt from Experiments on the Generation of Insects
In the latter part of his life, Redi suffered from senile debility and other ailments, but he bore all patiently, and when a friend asked if he did not dread the approach of death, he replied that it was useless to do so, as he had never observed that death could be kept away through fear. He died suddenly in Pisa, March Ist, 1697. Abbe Salvini writes of his end: Death, his great enemy, whom he had so Often fearlessly encountered and de feated, not daring to look into his face, approached him stealthily as he lay unconscious, and took him unawares, so he passed in an instant from Sleep to eternal repose.
