Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina

The "Letter to The Grand Duchess Christina" is an essay written in 1615 by Galileo Galilei. The intention of this letter was to accommodate Copernicanism with the doctrines of the Catholic Church. Galileo tried to use the ideas of Church Fathers and Doctors to show that any condemnation of Copernicanism would be inappropriate. The letter has been described as a hallmark in the history of the relationship between science and theology, and a founding text of the Scientific Revolution.
