I started watching these because of my University course in Witchcraft trials in Early Modern Europe, but it's so fascinating, and Professor Courtenay really knows her stuff. :-)
The lectures are interesting, but is important to remember that this is an intro level course, covering a broad topic. She's also lecturing to people she expects to hae done the assigned reading. If you haven't read the material, you're going to miss a lot.
@freebuzzard You should set the record straight by getting a PhD, become a prof at UCLA, and put out a set of lectures. Especially touching on sensitive subjects that someone else might disagree on. Let me know when the lectures will be out. Have a nice day.
@freebuzzard I disagree. And I think it's pedantic to call this lecture a travesty. I've been fact checking this whole lecture and she's pretty spot on. And Giordano Bruno was burned for his heliocentric views and not his hermeticism.
***** Yep, if this woman lecturer or professor or whoever wants to know, I'm an old navy sailor male dawg and proud of it I guess. Everytime she holds her hands like that I'm thinking she's holding mellons. Gawd forgive me :) No history here at all.
Having to be that guy that goes from 69 likes to 70... sorry peeps :/ Okay immature moment over. Really enjoying these lectures. Very eye opening and incredibly relevant to a lot I'm learning right now; from politics to the sciences I'm learning and to my own religious truth.
I, Galileo, son of the late Vincenzo Galilei, Florentine, aged seventy years, arraigned personally before this tribunal, and kneeling before you, Most Eminent and Reverend Lord Cardinals, Inquisitors-General against heretical depravity throughout the entire Christian commonwealth, having before my eyes and touching with my hands, the Holy Gospels, swear that I have always believed, do believe, and by God's help will in the future believe, all that is held, preached, and taught by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. But whereas -- after an injunction had been judicially intimated to me by this Holy Office, to the effect that I must altogether abandon the false opinion that the sun is the center of the world and immovable, and that the earth is not the center of the world, and moves, and that I must not hold, defend, or teach in any way whatsoever, verbally or in writing, the said false doctrine, and after it had been notified to me that the said doctrine was contrary to Holy Scripture -- I wrote and printed a book in which I discuss this new doctrine already condemned, and adduce arguments of great cogency in its favor, without presenting any solution of these, and for this reason I have been pronounced by the Holy Office to be vehemently suspected of heresy, that is to say, of having held and believed that the Sun is the center of the world and immovable, and that the earth is not the center and moves: Therefore, desiring to remove from the minds of your Eminences, and of all faithful Christians, this vehement suspicion, justly conceived against me, with sincere heart and unfeigned faith I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies, and generally every other error, heresy, and sect whatsoever contrary to the said Holy Church, and I swear that in the future I will never again say or assert, verbally or in writing, anything that might furnish occasion for a similar suspicion regarding me; but that should I know any heretic, or person suspected of heresy, I will denounce him to this Holy Office, or to the Inquisitor or Ordinary of the place where I may be. Further, I swear and promise to fulfill and observe in their integrity all penances that have been, or that shall be, imposed upon me by this Holy Office. And, in the event of my contravening, (which God forbid) any of these my promises and oaths, I submit myself to all the pains and penalties imposed and promulgated in the sacred canons and other constitutions, general and particular, against such delinquents. So help me God, and these His Holy Gospels, which I touch with my hands. I, the said Galileo Galilei, have abjured, sworn, promised, and bound myself as above; and in witness of the truth thereof I have with my own hand subscribed the present document of my abjuration, and recited it word for word at Rome, in the Convent of Minerva, this twenty-second day of June, 1633. I, Galileo Galilei, have abjured as above with my own hand.
Thank you Professor Courtenay Raia and UCLA for this opportunity! Awesome lectures :)

I came here to relax and take in some history. And find the problem of looking at this woman. There is no escape.
