{{Short description|none}} <!-- "none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]] --> {{Year nav topic5|1633|science}} {{Science year nav|1633}} The year '''1633 in [[science]]''' and [[technology]] involved some significant events. ==Events== * June 22 – [[Galileo Galilei]], the [[Italian people|Italian]] scientist, is convicted of heresy by the [[Inquisition]] for his book ''[[Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems]]''. He is sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life.<ref>{{cite book|last=Fantoli|first=Annibale|year=2003|title=Galileo — for Copernicanism and the Church|edition=3rd English|publisher=Vatican Observatory Publications|isbn=88-209-7427-4}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=The Galileo Affair: a Documentary History|url=https://archive.org/details/galileoaffair00uisi|url-access=registration|last=Finocchiaro|first=Maurice A.|publisher=University of California Press|year=1989|location=Berkeley|isbn=0-520-06662-6}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Drake|first=Stillman|year=1978|title=Galileo at Work|publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=0-226-16226-5|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/galileoatwork00stil}}</ref> ==Botany== * [[Jesuit]] scholar [[Giovanni Baptista Ferrari]] publishes ''De Florum Cultura'' in [[Rome]], a pioneering text in [[floriculture]]. ==Chemistry== * The first, crude, isolation of [[lactose]], by Italian physician Fabrizio Bartoletti (1576–1630), is published.<ref>Bartoletti, Fabrizio (1633). ''Methodus in dyspnoeam'' … [Procedure for asthma … ]. Bologna ("Bononia", Italy): Nicolò Tebaldini for the heirs of Evangelista Dozza. [https://books.google.com/books?id=T3JEAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA399 p. 400.] From page 400: ''"''Manna'' seri hæc. Destilla leni balnei calore serum lactis, donec in fundo vasis butyracea fœx subsideat, cui hærebit salina quædam substantia subalbida. Hanc curiose segrega, est enim sal seri essentiale; seu nitrum, cujus causa nitrosum dicitut serum, huicque tota abstergedi vis inest. Solve in aqua propria, & coagula. Opus repete, donec seri cremorem habeas sapore omnino mannam referentem."'' (This is the ''manna'' of whey. [Note: "Manna" is the dried, sweet sap of the tree ''[[Fraxinus ornus]]''.] Gently distill whey via a heat bath until the buttery scum settles to the bottom of the vessel, to which substance some whitish salt [i.e., precipitate] attaches. This curious [substance once] separated, is truly the essential salt of whey; or, on account of which nitre, is called "nitre of whey", and all [life] force is in this that will be expelled. [Note: "Nitre" is an alchemical concept. It is the power of life, which gives life to otherwise inanimate matter. (See the philosophy of [[Sendivogius]].)] Dissolve it in [its] own water and coagulate. Repeat the operation until you have cream of whey, recalling, by [its] taste, only manna.) In 1688, the German physician Michael Ettmüller (1644–1683) reprints Bartoletti's preparation. See: Ettmüller, Michael (1688).
