Galileo Galilei - Galileo became embroiled in a controversy with Father Orazio Grassi
Time: 1619
Place: Rome, Italy
Details: In 1619, Galileo became embroiled in a controversy with Father Orazio Grassi, professor of mathematics at the Jesuit Collegio Romano. It began as a dispute over the nature of comets, but by the time Galileo had published The Assayer (Il Saggiatore) in 1623, his last salvo in the dispute, it had become a much wider controversy over the very nature of science itself.
