9. "Ma'amar Mevo HaShemesh" - A booklet (in Hebrew) by Rabbi Pinchas David Weberman, editor of Sefer Hatekhuna of R Hayim Vital, which "proves" that heliocentrism is heresy. This is not directly related to the ban on the books, but it is highly relevant to the issues being discussed. The author's argument is that there is no traditional basis for this model and that the consensus of the Acharonim was to reject it as heresy. In this he is quite correct; nevertheless, the heliocentric model of the solar system is valid. 10. An essay from Rabbi Dr. Leo Levi, printed in the Jewish Observer, criticizing the banning process. 11. "Slifkin, Salem and the Senator" - A sharp sociological analysis of the controversy. This is a new version which includes a postscript.
