1964S13723Vatican City:: Pontificia Academia Scientiarum 1964. 1964. Series; Pontificiae Academiae Scientiarum Scripta Varia 27. Three volumes. 8vo. xv 366; 367-721; 727-944 pp. Printed wrappers. Fine. SCARCE. In 1942 Paschini was commissioned by the president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences father Agostino Gemelli to write a biography of Galileo Galilei. Paschini worked during the war years and sent the definitive manuscript to Cardinal Giovanni Mercati at the beginning of 1945. However the work met the resistance of the Holy Office and of the same Father Gemelli who left Paschini unanswered even after his letter of solicitation. He was then answered by the substitute Giovanni Battista Montini future Pope Paul VI to whom he had addressed. The latter made him read the reply of the Holy Office which attacked the work with the argument that the proofs put forward by Galileo in favor of heliocentrism were not sufficient and furthermore it was not considered appropriate to publish a work that appeared as an apology of the Pisan scientist. / After Paschini's death the definitive manuscript was extensively revised by the Belgian Jesuit Edmond Lamalle before being published in 1964. The episode is told by Paolo Simoncelli in the book "History of a censorship." "Life of Galileo"" and Vatican Council II " published in 1992. CONTENTS: v. 1-2. Vita e opere di Galileo Galilei / P.
