Nice entry about a much ignored Rennaisance hero!
Two comments. Are you sure fiori doesn't mean 'fire" or is that 'fiero'..
And the line that says 'he made no scientific discoveries' seems to contradict his 'theory' of stars as suns (which, yes, was also proposed by others) but perhaps you could phrase it a bit more generously, something like: 'while he is not (officially) credited with any specific scientific discoveries etc.'
The editors seem to like it and it is recommended!

Fiori means flowers. The place mentioned in the Entry (Campo di Fiori) is also a flower market, hence the name. Fiero means fair (i.e. exhibition, like New York State Fair). Fuoco means fire.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, John, Jeremy.
I'll change that wording...
