Abstract

The paper concerns Galileo Galilei's Trial. The analysis of the decree issued on March 1616 brings the author to draw the conclusion that on February 1616 the Pope Paul V did not issue any doctrinal condemnation of Copernican Astronomy but condemned only the Copernican Theology. This conclusion brings Vittorio Frajese to reconsider a very discussed document of Galileo's Trial: the so called "precetto Seghizzi". The author's conclusion is that the "precetto" was written by the notary Andrea de Pettini in 1616 and contains false informations.
