Synopsis
"Mr. Redondi's story is brilliantly told. . . . The captivating style, the masterly reconstruction of plots and passions, the ability to vividly paint princes and popes, cardinals and philosophers, heretics and scientists, will no doubt guarantee the success of this book with students and the general public."--Pietro Corsi, The New York Times Book Review

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A re-evaluation of the writing and persecution of Galileo by the Catholic Church. The author argues that Galileo's condemnation for espousing a heliocentric view of the universe covered a more complex disapproval of his atomistic physics, which implied a rejection of Eucharistic transubstantiation. Based on newly-discovered Vatican documents, the book aims to reverse 300 years of simplistic interpretation of Galileo's trials as the persecution of a scientist by a backward and bigoted church. It also aims to reveal the complex world of the intellectual battles and intrigues of counter- Reformation Rome. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001766932
