Caccini, who thought it not unbecoming his habit or religion to play upon the words of a Scriptural text for the pur- pose ^of attacking Galileo and his parti- sans with more personality*. Galileo complained formally of Caccini' s con- duct to Luigi Maraffi the general of the Dominicans, who apologised amply to him, adding that he himself was to be pitied for finding himself implicated in all the brutal conduct of thirty or forty thousand monks. In the mean time, the inquisitors at Rome had tak...en the alarm, and were already, in 1615, busily employed in col- lecting evidence against Galileo. Lorini, a brother Dominican of Caccini, had given them notice of the letter to Cas- telli of which we have spoken, and the utmost address was employed to get the original into their hands, which attempt however was frustrated, as Castelli had returned it to the writer. Caccini was sent for to Rome, settled there with the title of Master of the Convent of St. Mary of Minerva, and employed to put the depositions against Galileo into order.
