He drew the six stars of the
Bull, the Pleiades are called,
six, because the seventh
hardly ever appears,
around which another
invisible to the
naked eye, far away
by no more than
just half a degree.
By virtue of his telescope, a very
faithful copy of which I show you here,
obtained with a system
the Milky Way, which
appeared to us like a cloud,
has been inspected and studied
to such a precise degree that we
can call the countless disputes
that tormented philosophers
for centuries as resolved.
The galaxy, in fact, appeared
clearly like a tannery
of countless stars.
The thing is clear
in whatever region
the observer directs
the telescope at.
Galileo Galilei then divulged
that four planets exist in the skies,
that have never been seen
since the origins of the world
and that he had discovered and observed
their positions, over two months.
They told us that the mathematician
of the Grand Duke of Florence
has also discovered
the secret of sun spots,
what news do you
give us on this point?
At Florence I discovered that Galilei
has studied this point a good deal
but unfortunately he still
cannot give a definitive reply,
or better, if the spots are
really vapours, exhalations,
clouds, or fumes produced
by the solar body.
About the nature of these
spots he is still uncertain
he believes he can state,
as an absolute certainty,
one of his convictions, agreeing
the Pole Copernicus is that
the mobility of the earth
is the stability of the sun
according to fixed orbits.
May I?
Yes go ahead.
If Mr Galilei
insists in his mistake...
It's not a mistake, it's
a reasonable hypothesis.
But he's denying the Bible, Joshua
in fact told the sun to stop
and on his command, the sun,
moving through the skies, stopped.
It is clear that the words
of the Bible must be
interpreted in a different
way. And Galilei...
I am saying that if he continues
to insist in his mistake
I do not see why
you should divulge
his theory to us,
right here at the noble
La Fleche college.
You have talked of Galilei
as if he were a new Aristotle,
his doctrine is mistaken,
an error he has committed
because of his pride which
confuses the faith of the people.
the universe, all the testimonies
of men , of the humble
just like of the learned,
confirm this truth from
the beginning of time.
I find all your disdain
exaggerated Mr De Bastion.
Our intelligence must
never be subjected
to an unreasonable
fear of an error,
it must confront it and know it,
in order to win over it.
Galilei's hypotheses have raised
numerous criticisms every where,
men of science and of the
church have rushed to warn him,
but as far as we know,
a definitive judgement
has still not been
pronounced about his doctrine.
And if his calculations
prove to be correct,
they will not be able to
contradict the truth in any way.
all of you to apply yourselves
to studying the information
that Mr De Simone has brought
us from Florence. Deo Gratia.
Deo Gratia.
May the others come forward.
I say that it is absurd
to compare Galileo to Aristotle.
Aristotle constructed his doctrine
on a perfect system
of syllogisms,
while Galileo's science is
born by observing the Universe.
Talking is not allowed
Mr Descartes
Excuse me Gentlemen.
Swords in line. Salute.
On guard.
Knee-flex.
On guard. Knee-flex.
On guard. Knew-flex.
On guard. Second defence.
On guard.
Knee-flex.
On guard. At ease.
Lunge. On guard.
Twirl.
Come forward!
You asked permission to read
Cornelio Agrippa's text
''Natural Magic'' and the one by
on the same subject.
Yes, I wish to compare them.
I like curious things.
They say that in ''Natural Magic''
there are the best explanations
about magnetism
that can be read
and the most acute observations
about the obscure chamber.
I give you permission
to read them,
but I must remind you
about what our rule advises.
it opportune to incite, push
and it is necessary to slow
down those who run too fast.
And you my dear
Descartes run a lot.
Our purpose is
that of acquiring knowledge
to help souls with the aid of God,
and therefore, in every study we follow
the strictest and most appropriate doctrine
teach this and an order is followed.
This why only after
having laid down a solid foundation
with a knowledge of Latin,
humanistic arts and logic,
natural and moral philosophy,
metaphysics and theology
can become the object of careful study
I adhere scrupulously to this rule.
But I do not feel any
enthusiasm for these sciences.
I know.
Cornelio Agrippa's book
on natural magic
will certainly give you more pleasure
than a scholastic philosophical text.
Go now.
I thank you Father.
Young Descartes is full of curiosity,
I gave him permission to
read another two books.
His passion for the new
sciences is perhaps excessive.
He is convinced that if the
new sciences lead towards the truth,
they help one to discover and
love God who is the real truth.
Are you still studying?
I asked for permission to be able
