Galileo’s Dialogo
Dialog on the Two Chief World Systems, second Italian edition, Florence 1710

Galileo compares the Ptolemaic system, in which the Earth rests at the center of the cosmos, with the Copernican, in which the Earth revolves around the Sun. This book was the reason for his persecution by the Inquisition.
