Galileo's Dialogo is one of the most famous books of the history of science. Presented in the form of scientific dialogue, this book contrasts the contradictory worldviews of Ptolemy and Copernicus, arguing for the latter, the heliocentric theory. For this Galileo was tried and imprisoned, and the book was suppressed. It was placed on the Index, the list of prohibited books, by the Catholic Church where it remained until 1822.
