He became internationally known in connection with the alleged Galileo drawings which he exposed as fakes.〔Seth: (An Almost Perfect Forgery ), 17 February in 2013〕〔Stefano Gattei in ''Book Reviews on the History of Science'' am 10. Dezember 2012: (''Horst Bredekamp (ed.), Galileo's O'' ), 4 January in 2014〕 == Life == Wilding studied English at New College, Oxford. After his B. A. with highest honors in 1992 he made in 1993 at the University of Warwick his Masters with a thesis on Renaissance. Subsequently, he conducted research at the European University Institute and in 2000 he received his doctorate for PhD with a dissertation on natural philosophy and communication in early modern Europe. He carried out postdoctoral research at Stanford University, and from 2002 to 2005 at University of Cambridge. 2005/2006 Wilding was at Columbia University, 2006/2007 at University of Miami, and since 2007 as Assistant Professor at Georgia State University. In 2012 Wilding was able to prove on the basis of forensic evidence that a special edition of Sidereus Nuncius of Galileo Galilei consisting of unknown ink drawings which was found in 2005 and designated as authentic actually was a fake that had been brought by the Italian antiquarian Marino Massimo De Caro in the U.S. antique trade.〔Elisabetta Povoledo: (''At Root of Italy Library’s Plunder, a Tale of Entrenched Practices'' ), The New York Times, 11 August in 2012〕〔Nicholas Schmidle: (''“A Very Rare Book”.
