Restoro d'Arezzo was the author of Composizione del Mondo (Composition of the World),[1] written c. 1282. It was the first astronomical work to be written in Italian (Tuscan).[2] It contains also, as its title suggests, geological theories: these covered the internal structure of a spherical shell Earth, fossils, and erosion, amongst others.

He observed a solar eclipse in 1239 and noted the exact time spent in totality.[3]

It has been claimed that Dante was familiar with Ristoro’s work.[4] Dante in the Quaestio de Aqua et Terra dated to 1320 did consider related matters.[5]

[es] Restoro d'Arezzo

Restoro d'Arezzo (o Ristoro, la forma florentina de su nombre, fl. siglo XIII) fue un monje y erudito italiano del siglo XIII, escritor y cosmógrafo autor de La composizione del mondo con sus cascioni,[1] una obra completa sobre historia natural y el primer libro conocido en prosa italiana (italiano de la Toscana).[2] Ristoro se ocupa principalmente de temas geográficos y astronómicos, describió por primera vez las fuentes termales de Larderello en Toscana, los hallazgos de cerámica romana admirablemente perfecta en Arezzo, la erosión de las montañas y el llenado de los valles por la acción del agua, hallazgos de animales marinos fósiles y guijarros redondeados en las altas montañas, cuya presencia asoció con la pruebas del Diluvio. Postulaba un origen orgánico de los fósiles y también dio una teoría sobre el origen de las montañas, una forma de atracción de las estrellas que tendía a elevar la superficie de la Tierra; curiosamente, consideraba que esa fuerza sería proporcional a la distancia, a diferencia de la fuerza ejercida por un imán o la gravitación aún por descubrir.[3]
