In 1633, at the end of one of the most famous trials in history, the "Inquisition" condemned Galileo for contending that the Earth moves and that the Bible is not a scientific authority. This book examines the entire span of the Galileo affair from his condemnation to his alleged rehabilitation by the Pope in 1992.
