Abstract
The book describes the story of the discovery, at the Royal Society in London, of Galileo's original letter to Benedetto Castelli dated 21 December 1613, on which the condemnation of Copernicanism by the Church of Rome was based. The letter, believed to be lost, represents a fundamental turning point in the birth of modern science. For the first time, Galileo, in defending the heliocentric theory, asserts the need to distinguish the realm of science from that of Holy Scripture.
