Story
Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems compares the Copernican or Heliocentric system with the Ptolemaic or Peripatetic, system of the cosmos. Published in Florence in 1632, it resulted in him being tried before the Inquisition. Using the dialogue form, Galileo masterfully shows the truth of the Copernican system that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Dialogue is one of the most important treatises ever written. A work of supreme clarity and accessibility, it remains as accessible now as when it was published.

Story
In 1610, Galileo published the Siderius nuncius, or Starry Messenger, a "hurried little masterpiece" in John Heilbron's words. Presenting to the world his remarkable observations using the recently invented telescope, Galileo dramatically challenged our idea of the perfection of the heavens and the centrality of the Earth in the universe. Indeed, the appearance of the little book is regarded as one of the great moments in the history of science.

Story
Il Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo è un celeberrimo trattato di Galileo Galilei, scritto sotto forma dialogica negli anni tra il 1624 e il 1630 e pubblicato nel 1632. L'opera, strutturata nel dialogo fra tre personaggi: Simplicio (che riprende il nome dell'antico filosofo del VI secolo Simplicio di Cilicia), Sagredo e Filippo Salviati, ebbe da subito un enorme successo, ma la Chiesa, che dapprima ne aveva concesso l'imprimatur, mutò radicalmente la sua posizione, inserendola nell'Indice dei libri proibiti nel 1633.
