Proposes radical interpretations of key episodes of Galileo's career, including his telescopic discoveries of 1610, the dispute over sunspots, and the conflict with the Holy Office over the relationship between Copernicanism and Scripture. The book offers an account of the systems of exchanges, communication, and credibility at work in his career.
