Sobre este artículo
Princeton University Press, 1987. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Unmarked text. Dust jacket, with some chipping and bends at spine head, under clear mylar archival cover. Section with 18 plates. Argues that Galileo famous trial did not take place because he promoted a heliocentric view of the universe, but because he promoted a non-Aristotelian theory of physics at variance with the Church's doctrine of transubstantiation. Translated by Raymond Rosenthal. 357p. Measures 6.5x9.5 inches.

El Apr 11 2009, KarenL dijo:
An interesting twist on the tired story of Galileo v the Church. While Galileo did use telescopes to look at the moon and sun, he was a scientist and a great reader --- He also was atomist, or a believer in invisible corpuscles [Read his "The Assayer" 1623] of matter that could not be changed.
Thinking like this was dangerous in 1600's The Council of Trent produced reams of parchment on all sorts of topic -- one was the belief of Transubstantion. The 30 Years War was ongoing. It was not wise to have a scientist teach that atoms of x could not become q with magic words.
I enjoyed this book, its research, and its use of Latin. It open the door for more research.
