Description

Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 1987, BCE.  Translated by Raymond Rosenthal.  ISBN 0-691-08451-3.  Hard cover, 356 pages including Index.  Very good minus; black boards with gold and red foil lettering on spine; binding sound with headbands; flare to front board.  Dust jacket shows edge and cover wear, small edge tears, small scrapes at spine, some impressions.  Prior owner’s name inked on FEP; remainder of interior clean and unmarked; colour and black & white photo plate section.  ‘… boldly reinterprets Galileo’s famous trial for heresy in 1633, when the Inquisition forced him to abjure all writings that described the sun as the central body of the universe, with the earth and other planets revolving around it.  Dr. Redondi has discovered a new document, predating the trial, in the Archives of the Vatican Holy Office:  an anonymous and rigorous denunciation of Galileo on the grounds that his new naturalistic philosophy and his advocacy of atomism threatened the all-important dogma of the Eucharist.’ (from front flap)
