|| one of Galileo Galilei's many books. The very descriptive title of the book gives away what it's about. (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems). In this, he defends the views of Nicolaus Copernicus that the world rotated around the sun which he believed was the center of the earth.This went completely against the very believed theory that; the galaxy was Geo-centric and rotated around the sun. The cover shows Copernicus discussing his theories with Aristotle. || This a page from the Biblia Latina, a Bible printed by Johannes Gutenberg on his printing press, which, at the time, was a prosperous new invention. This seems like a small accomplishment, in the way of just copying a bible but, it actually led to the bible being translated into vernacular allowing everyone who could read to have access to the bible.

It infuriated the that now, all had access to the bible. ||
