Scientific results were often reported in theological works, as in this first defense of Copernicanism in Spain. In his commentary on Job 9:6 (misnumbered 9:5), Zuniga summarized evidence for Copernicanism from the precession of the equinoxes. He also argued that Copernicanism did not violate established principles of biblical interpretation. First printed in Toledo in 1584, interest in this book paradoxically increased after the Council of Trent sought to minimize novel re-interpretations of scripture, resulting in a 2d ed. in Rome which became prominent in debates over Galileo. A decree of the Inquisition in 1616 suspended Zuniga, along with Copernicus’ De revolutionibus (1543), until they could be corrected.
