It should be emphasized that the principal aim of this essay is historiographical, not historical. It will not add significant facts or sources to the historical record. Rather, it will draw together existing histories that have hitherto remained largely distinct. Much has been written concerning the political, intellectual, and legal considerations that contributed to Galileo's treatment, and many volumes have been devoted to the concurrent European situation. While it is, of course, impossible comprehensively to address the vast literatures surrounding both the Galileo Affair and the Thirty Years War, by suggesting parallels and connections we hope to remind the reader of the broader landscape within which Galileo's trial took place. This is not meant to cast doubt on existing histories of the Affair. The aim is to show how considerations of the European political context might add texture and depth to the extant understanding of the episode.
