His Dialogue
Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic and Copernican, was cleared by Church censors, one
of whom was Galileo's former student, and was published at Florence in 1632. As the title suggests, Galileo
grounded his manifesto in the form of a dialogue rather than a treatise. The dialogue, Galileo reasoned, was
a device through which an argument for Copernican theory could be made without violating the papal decree
of 1616. Two of the conversants Salviati and Sagredo are sympathetic to Copernican theory. Simplicio,
the third participant, represents Aristotle and the Scholastics and is presented as fool. Galileo's enemies
were quick to inform the Pope that the official cosmology of the Roman Catholic Church had been put in the
mouth of Simplicio. The Pope ordered an investigation and so in August 1632, less than six months after it
had appeared, the Inquisition banned further sales of the book
