Heilbron (history of science, U. of California-Berkeley) weaves the history of science and the history of the Church together to show how interrelated they have been. He takes four cathedrals that measure the passage of the sun as a fulcrum from which to consider Church politics in the 16th and 17th centuries, the shifts and ramifications of its policy toward science before and in response to the Protestant Reformation, the calculation of Easter, and other matters. He includes eight color plates. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. The Sun in the Church: Cathedrals as Solar Observatories, Heilbron, J. L. Published by Harvard University Press, 1999. 8vo up to 9½" tall., ix, 366 pages, illustrations, bibliographical references, index. Illustrated with drawings, engravings, diagrams tables and eight color plates. Quarter red and over creme paper boards. In fine condition with very light shelf wear to dustjacket. Between 1650 and 1750, four Catholic churches were the best solar observatories in the world. Built to fix an unquestionable date for Easter, they also housed instruments that threw light on the disputed geometry of the solar system, and so, within sight of the altar, subverted Church doctrine about the order of the universe. A tale of politically canny astronomers and cardinals with a taste for mathematics, The Sun in the Church tells how these observatories came to be, how they worked, and what they accomplished. It describes Galileo's political overreaching, his subsequent trial for heresy, and his slow and steady rehabilitation in the eyes of the Catholic Church. And it offers an enlightening perspective on astronomy, Church history, and religious architecture, as well as an analysis of measurements testing the limits of attainable accuracy, undertaken with rudimentary means and extraordinary zeal.
