Little is known about the Dominican Paolo Minerva (Bari, 1560 -Naples, 1645), teacher, preacher and author of works on natural philosophy. Thorndike traced an anti-Copernican strand in his De praecognoscendis (1616), due to the reading of Gilbert's De magnete. In his early days, he was a friend to Giovan Vincenzo Della Porta and his De neomeniis (1599) reveals that he supported the Copernican tables underlying the calendar reform. This paper focusses on his major work, De terrae stabilitate (unpublished, imprimatur granted in 1639), which put forth a detailed criticism of the Copernican system on the basis of astronomical arguments as well as of biblical texts and theological views.
