Sobre este artículo
Princeton NJ: Princeton Uniersity, 1987. First Edition. 8vo, pp. x, 356. Documents, index. Translated from the Italian by Raymond Rosenthal. With several illustrations. Black cloth. Fine in slightly scuffed and chipped dj. A reinterpretation of Galileo's trial for heresy, whose premise is that the Jesuits plotted Galilio's downfall because his new naturalistic philosophy threatened dogma about the eucharist, rather than because of his theories about astronomy.

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.
