520 2  "Setting Aside All Authority is an important account and 
       analysis of seventeenth-century scientific arguments 
       against the Copernican system. Christopher M. Graney 
       challenges the long-standing ideas that opponents of the 
       heliocentric ideas of Copernicus and Galileo were 
       primarily motivated by religion or devotion to an outdated
       intellectual tradition, and that they were in continual 
       retreat in the face of telescopic discoveries. Graney 
       calls on newly translated works by anti-Copernican writers
       of the time to demonstrate that science, not religion, 
       played an important, and arguably predominant, role in the
       opposition to the Copernican system. Anti-Copernicans, 
       building on the work of the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe,
       were in fact able to build an increasingly strong 
       scientific case against the heliocentric system at least 
       through the middle of the seventeenth century, several 
       decades after the advent of the telescope. The scientific 
       case reached its apogee, Graney argues, in the 1651 New 
       Almagest of the Italian Jesuit astronomer Giovanni 
       Battista Riccioli, who used detailed telescopic 
       observations of stars to construct a powerful scientific 
       argument against Copernicus. Setting Aside All Authority 
       includes the first English translation of Monsignor 
       Francesco Ingoli's essay to Galileo (disputing the 
       Copernican system on the eve of the Inquisition's 
       condemnation of it in 1616) and excerpts from Riccioli's 
       reports regarding his experiments with falling bodies; 
       'Christopher M. Graney's Setting Aside All Authority makes
       a fine contribution to the history of science and 
       especially the history of astronomy. The case Graney 
       presents for the rationality of denying Copernicanism, as 
       late as the mid-seventeenth century, is cogent, and he 
       presents a good deal of novel historical material that 
       urges a reevaluation of a major figure--Riccioli. The book
       will interest not only historians but also philosophers of
       science, and scientists in the relevant specialties 
       (astronomy, physics) together with their students at both 
       the undergraduate and graduate level'--Peter Barker, 
       University of Oklahoma"--|cProvided by publisher.
