Abstract or Introduction

Throughout the centuries, the condemnation of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) by the Roman Inquisition has sparked a number of controversial interpretations. In this essay, I will try to assess if religious ideas were central to his first trial (roughly from
1611 to 1616), or whether personal grudges and ecclesiastical power politics were at the root of Galileo’s persecution.
