That same year, in an effort to defend Aristotle against the heliocentric theory of Copernicus, he published Commentum de Terrae Motu Circulari Refutatus, insisting on an immobile earth. George Sale spuriously (and unflatteringly) attributed to Ross the English translation of Du Ryer's 1647 French Qur'an; the association has stuck ever after. ...more

Quotes by Alexander Ross (?)

“Whereas the ancients held that garlick hindred the attraction of the Loadstone, he contradicts this by experience; but I cannot think the ancient Sages would write so confidently of that which they had no experience; of, being a thing so obvious and easie to try; therefore I suppose they had a stronger kind of garlick, then is with us”
― Alexander Ross
