Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Given the enormous size of the literature on the Galileo affair, making an addition to that collection calls for some justification. In the present case the reason is that there is an elaborate theological examination of the judgment against Galileo at his trial which quite likely was requested by the pope at the time, Urban VIII, but whose title has been only very infrequently mentioned by Galileo scholars. Moreover its central arguments have remained unexamined and unknown in English (except for two articles by William R. Shea [1984] and Thomas Cerbu [2001]), even though it presents an inside picture of the theological point of view operating during the trial for at least one, if not more, of its main participants. The purpose of this book is to present this material and an analysis of it as a new component of our knowledge of the Galileo affair.
