Summary
Campanella, a Dominican theologian, wrote this defense of the compatibility of Scripture and Copernicanism from his cell in Naples, where he was serving a life sentence for opposition to Spanish rule of southern Italy. Although he greatly admired Galileo, his actual cosmological views were closer to Bruno’s than to those of Copernicus or Galileo.
