Nicolai Copernici Torinensis De reuolutionibus orbium coelestium, libri VI
3. The New Universe
The earliest of the three books of science that most clarified the
relationship of man and his universe (along with Newton's /Principia/ and
Darwin's /Origin of Species/). In manuscript form for many years, it was
finally printed just before its author's death. In it the orbits of the
planets are mathematically resolved by shifting the center of rotation of our
universe from the earth to the sun. This copy contains the rare leaf of
errata.
