Galileo Galilei - The Inquisition asked a commission of theologians about the propositions of the heliocentric view of the universe

Time: Friday Feb 19, 1616

Place: Italy

Details: On February 19, 1616, the Inquisition asked a commission of theologians, known as qualifiers, about the propositions of the heliocentric view of the universe. Historians of the Galileo affair have offered different accounts of why the matter was referred to the qualifiers at this time. Beretta points out that the Inquisition had taken a deposition from Gianozzi Attavanti in November 1615, as part of its investigation into the denunciations of Galileo by Lorini and Caccini.
