The Trial of Galileo: Essential Documents (2014)
Finocchiaro, Maurice A. (Author)
Hackett Publishing Company
Physical Details: xii + 160 pp.; bibl.; index
Language: English
In 1633, the Roman Inquisition condemned Galileo as a suspected heretic for defending Copernicus's hypothesis of the earth's motion and denying the scientific authority of Scripture. This book draws upon Maurice A. Finocchiaro's earlier works, especially The Galileo Affair: A Documentary History (1989), to provide a brief, new documentary history of Galileo's trial that is simultaneously the most user-friendly and inclusive available.
