Galileo And His Condemnation is a historical book written by Ernest R. Hull, first published in 1913.

Hull provides a detailed account of Galileo's discoveries and contributions to science, including his observations of the moons of Jupiter and his development of the telescope. However, the book primarily focuses on Galileo's conflict with the Catholic Church, which led to his condemnation and house arrest for the remainder of his life.Hull explores the political and religious climate of 17th century Europe, which was characterized by the power struggle between the Church and the emerging scientific community. He also provides a detailed analysis of the trial and condemnation of Galileo, including the arguments presented by both sides and the aftermath of the trial.Overall, Galileo And His Condemnation is a comprehensive and informative book that sheds light on one of the most significant events in the history of science and religion.
