dc.description.abstract One of the most famous trials in world history is that of the Florentine scientist Galileo Galilei in front of the Roman Inquisition. Based on historical sources, this article presents a comprehensive overview of the 1633 trial, the roots of which dated to Galileo’s 1613 publication on sunspots. It culminated with his publication of the Dialogue concerning the two chief world systems, Ptolemaic and Copernican. Although condemned by the Inquisition to imprisonment for an indefinite period, his sentence was commuted to house arrest until death. en_US
dc.description.abstract Unul dintre cele mai cunoscute procese din istoria lumii este cel al savantului florentin Galileo Galilei în fața Inchiziției romane. Bazat pe surse istorice, acest articol prezintă o prezentare cuprinzătoare a procesului din 1633, ale cărui rădăcini datează de la publicația lui Galileo din 1613 despre petele solare. Punctul culminant a fost publicarea lui intitulată Dialog privind cele două sisteme principale ale lumii, Ptolematic și Copernican. În ciuda faptului că Inchiziția l-a condamnat la închisoare pe perioadă nedeterminată, pedeapsa a fost comutată în arest la domiciliu până la moartea lui. en_US
