Extractions: Nicholas Copernicus - born Feb. 19, 1473, Torun, Pol. d. May 24, 1543, Frauenburg, East Prussia [now Frombork, Poland] His name in Polish was MIKOLAJ KOPERNIK. He was a Polish astronomer who proposed that the planets have the Sun as the fixed point to which their motions are to be referred; that the Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis; and that very slow, long-term changes in the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxes. This representation of the heavens is usually called the heliocentric, or "Sun-centred," systemderived from the Greek helios, meaning "Sun." Copernicus's theory had important consequences for later thinkers of the scientific revolution, including such major figures as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and Newton. Copernicus probably hit upon his main idea sometime between 1508 and 1514, and during those years he wrote a manuscript usually called the Commentariolus ("Little Commentary"). However, the book that contains the final version of his theory, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri vi ("Six Books Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs"), did not appear in print until 1543, the year of his death. Early life and education Certain facts about Copernicus's early life are well established, although a biography written by his ardent disciple Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-74) is unfortunately lost. According to a later horoscope, Nicolaus Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473, in Torun, a city in north-central Poland on the Vistula River south of the major Baltic seaport of Gdansk. His father, Nicolaus, was a well-to-do merchant, and his mother, Barbara Watzenrode, also came from a leading merchant family. Nicolaus was the youngest of four children.

Extractions: Nicolaus Copernicus [Nikklas Koppernigk] (1473-1543). Born on 19 February 1473 in Torun, Poland. He first studied at Cracow from 1492 to 1494, then in 1496 was sent to Italy to study Canon Law at the University of Bologna. In 1501 he began medical studies at the University of Padua, and finally took his Law degree at the small University of Ferrara in 1503. In 1497, while still in Italy, he was made Canon of the Frombork [Frauenberg] cathedral by his maternal uncle and protector Lucas Watzenrode, bishop of Varmia. This provided Copernicus with a secure and relatively renumerative position which he held to the end of his life, allowing him the freedom to pursue his interest in astronomy. Copernicus' landmark work On the Revolutions De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ) was dedicated to Pope Paul III and published in 1543 in Nurenberg, as Copernicus lay on his deathbed. However, his heliocentric hypothesis had been circulating for over 30 years, starting with his Commentariolus , written between 1512 and 1515 and circulated in manuscript form. Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574), who joined Copernicus in Frombork in 1539 as his first and only disciple, published in 1540 his

The book was published in 1543 in Nuremberg as Copernicus lay on his deathbed, and was dedicated to Pope Paul III. The second edition was printed in Basel in 1566, and the third in Amsterdam in 1617. Copernicus's book did not create controversy in the years following its publication. Its main idea has been in circulation among astronomers for over 30 years, and a preview of the book's content, the Narratio Prima of Georg Joachim Rheticus, had been published in 1540. The Copernican planetary model was absorbed and commented upon in the contemporary technical astronomical literature, notably by Michael Maestlin and the leading Jesuit astronomer, Christoph Clavius . In 1551 Erasmus Rheinhold (1511-1553) published the Prutenic Tables of planetary positions, which were based on the Copernican model and enjoyed quite a bit of success. Religious authorities at first did not react to book's publication. This was likely due, at least in part, to the addition of an anonymous preface, written by the publication's overseer Andreas Osiander (1498-1552), to the effect that Copernicus' planetary model should be treated as an hypothesis to facilitate the computation of planetary positions. This situation was to change once Galileo began his so-called Copernican Crusade.

Calvin had little use for science; Knox none." Luther vs. Copernicus Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543), a devout Catholic (one of his degrees was in Church canon law), originated the heliocentric theory in astronomy, in which the earth revolves around the sun rather than vice versa. This new theory in particular provides fascinating insight into Protestantism's view of science, since it arrived roughly simultaneously with the Protestant Revolution.

Extractions: Nicolás Copérnico es la forma castellana de Niclas Kopernik , astrónomo y matemático nacido el 19 de Febrero de 1473 en Torun Polonia ), quien fuera impulsor de la revolución científica que llevaría su mismo nombre. En el año 1491, Copérnico se matriculó en la Universidad de Cracovia , donde tuvo oportunidad de recibir una sólida formación matemática y estableció un primer contacto con los problemas de la astronomía geocéntrica. En 1497, Copérnico ingresó en la célebre Escuela de Juristas de la Universidad de Bolonia donde prolongó sus estudios de Derecho canónico hasta 1500 sin que ello le impidiese continuar con sus indagaciones astronómicas de la mano del profesor Domenico María Novara . Es significativo el fenómeno observado por ambos un 9 de marzo de 1497, consistente en la ocultación de la estrella Aldebarán tras la sombra de la Luna. Este fenómeno astronómico ponía en duda el modelo sostenido por Ptolomeo y abría las puertas a una nueva investigación divergente. Durante los dos años siguientes, Copérnico residió en la ciudad de Padua , epicentro por aquel entonces de la corriente humanista que influenció en su pensamiento. Ello explica la acentuada visión neo-platónica que su obra refleja.

Schloßbibliothek der Fürsten Rosenberg-Orsini Angesichts der zum Teil überaus bedeutenden Büchersammlungen, die sich bereits im Mittelalter bzw. in der frühen Neuzeit in Vorarlberg befanden, sind die bei der Gründung der Vorarlberger Landesbibliothek im Jahre 1977 übernommenen historischen Schriften als eher bescheiden zu bezeichnen. Ein Blick auf die Bibliotheksgeschichte Vorarlbergs zeigt, daß dies jedoch nicht weiter verwunderlich ist. Wie anderswo waren auch bei uns Klöster, andere kirchliche Organisationen, Privatpersonen und vor allem Adelige um Bewahrung und Sammlung von Schriftgut bemüht. Namentlich hervorzuheben sind dabei die Benediktinerabtei in der Mehrerau, die Klöster St. Anna und Thalbach in Bregenz, das Minoritenkloster Viktorsberg sowie das Jesuitengymnasium in Feldkirch. Besonders wertvolle Literaturschätze beherbergten die von Graf Jakob Hannibal I. von Hohenems gegründete und von seinem Sohn Kaspar ausgebaute Schloßbibliothek und die Humanistenbibliotheken des Hieronymus Münzer oder des Michael sowie Vater und Sohn Gabriel Hummelberg aus Feldkirch. Als im Zuge der Reformpolitik Maria Theresias und Josephs II. jedes Kronland eine eigene wissenschaftliche Bibliothek erhalten sollte, ging Vorarlberg, da es verwaltungsmäßig zu Vorderösterreich und ab 1782 wieder zu Tirol gehörte und damit kein eigenständiges Kronland war, leer aus.

Extractions: Previous abstract Next abstract Owen Gingerich (CfA) We do not know precisely when or why Nicholas Copernicus adopted a heliocentric system. Before 1514, he wrote a brief prospectus for his radical rearrangement of the planets (the so-called Commentariolus ), but he realized that to compete with Ptolemy's Almagest , he had to prepare a major treatise that included key observations distributed over each planet's orbit. Copernicus remained hard at work on this task in his late 60s. His still partly unfinished magnum opus would not have been printed in his lifetime except for the arrival of a young disciple from Wittenberg, Georg Joachim Rheticus, who eventually took a copy of the manuscript to Nuremberg for publication. The printing of approximately 400 copies of the book was completed in April of 1543, and the final sheets (actually the front matter, which was struck off last) reached Copernicus only on the day he died, 24 May 1543. Copernicus had found a ``theory pleasing to the mind," but he had no observational evidence to
