English term

ledger (en este contexto)

English to Spanish Social Sciences Philosophy Historia
To sum up, one could say that when Galileo modified the classical trope of ‘the Book of Nature’, adding that it ‘was written in mathematical characters’, little could he have anticipated that we would now have to say that the ‘Book of Nature’ is in fact a protocol book, a huge and complex ledger that should be written in a mixture of legal, moral, political and mathematical hieroglyphs… It is still a Book, but how different it reads…

agree patricia scott : This is it, unless the text has a twist to it somewhere and means lápida on which all this is recorded, which doesn't seem to be the case.

agree Alan R King : This is the "right" translation as far as the meaning is concerned, but you (the translator) still need to decide if it actually "works" in the context (just as patricia is saying, I think).

libro de contabilidad

Ya que Galileo considera que su libro "Book of Nature" estaba escrito con "mathematical characters", me parece una traducción adecuada.

Espero que te sirva de ayuda.
