About This Item
Berkeley: University of California Press [0-520-06662-6] 1989. (Trade paperback) 382pp. Very good. Appendix, chronology, glossary, bibliography, notes, index.

"The trial and condemnation of Galileo as a heretic by the Inquisition in 1633 has long been recognized as one of the watersheds in Western intellectual history. Three hundred and fifty years later the Gaglieo affair remains the subject of controversy centering on the documentation, interpretation, and evaluation of its events, issues, causes, and lessons". Book about Galileo Galilei. Time Period 17th Century. Edited with introduction and notes by Maurice A. Finocchiaro. Translated by Maurice A. Finocchiaro.
