| Sumario: | Commentary on the Roman Inquisition frequently involves references to one of the more famous cases that came before it, the trial (processo) and condemnation of Galileo. Since the story—real and imagined—of Galileo's encounter with the Inquisition is so much a part of what the modern world understands to be a conflict between religious authority and scientific advance, it is difficult to address the historical issues that are crucial for an adequate understanding of the Inquisition's structure and practices. Thomas Mayer's book, the first of what is to be three volumes (a second on the Inquisition throughout Italy and a third on the Galileo case itself), is a rich source of information about the Roman Inquisition from the late sixteenth century to 1640. |
