• It started with Galileo disagreeing with the Jesuit monk Orazzio Grassi, about the nature and the orbit of the comet of 1619. Grassi insisted that the comet was closer than the Moon (according to Aristotelian views), Galileo calculated that it was further away. • There was an “escalation” in exchanging arguments from both sides (books and pamphlets published under a “nom de plume” or written by “followers” of each side). • The debate reached a climax with the publication of the book Il Saggiatore (assayer=tester, a kind of stone used to measure content in gold of an alloy ), written in Italian and not in Latin, where Galileo brings forth all arguments for the heliocentric theory and ridicules openly Grassi and his other opponents. 26
