Z Nicolaus Copernicus Latinized form of Niclas Kopernik, the name of the founder of the heliocentric planetary theory; born at Torun (Thorn), 19 February, 1473, died at Frauenburg, 24 May, 1543. Early life Whether the family came originally from Silesia or from Poland , certain it is that his father Niclas, a merchant, emigrated from Krakow to Torun, and married the sister of Lucas Watzelrode, later Prince-Bishop of Ermland . Of the four children the oldest and youngest, Andreas and Nicolaus, adopted the clerical career, while the older girl became a Cistercian nun and Abbess of Culm , and the younger married . The whole family belonged to the Third Order of St. Dominic . Nicolaus was hardly ten years old when his father died. His uncle, Lucas, however, took charge of the children and gave the boys a university training. Nicolaus Nicolai de Thorunia was matriculated in Krakow in 1491, where he studied classics, mathematics, drawings, and perspective. Professor Blar, who represented astronomy , belonged to the school of Ptolemy. The

The original form of his name was Mikolaj Kopernik or Nicolaus Koppernigk but we shall use Copernicus throughout this article. His father, also called Nicolaus Koppernigk, had lived in Krakow before moving to Torun where he set up a business trading in copper. He was also interested in local politics and became a civic leader in Torun and a magistrate. Nicolaus Koppernigk married Barbara Waczenrode, who came from a well off family from Torun, in about 1463. They moved into a house in St Anne's Street in Torun, but they also had a summer residence with vineyards out of town. Nicolaus and Barbara Koppernigk had four children, two sons and two daughters, of whom Nicolaus Copernicus was the youngest. You can see a picture of the house in which Copernicus was born When young Nicolaus was ten years old his father died. His uncle Lucas Waczenrode, who was a canon at Frauenburg Cathedral, became guardian to Nicolaus and Barbara Koppernigk's four children.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) 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

Astronomy.Rocks! Nicolaus Copernicus Nicolaus Copernicus was born in 1473 in Torun, which is now in Poland. There is some debate about what language he and his family spoke. Some say he was German, and some say he was Polish. We do know that he spelled his name many different ways. Eventually, he changed his name into the Latin form because scholars back then spoke Latin so they could talk to scholars from other countries without learning many different languages. Most people refer to Nicolaus Copernicus as just Copernicus. Copernicus studied a lot as a young man. He learned astronomy, math, philosophy, liberal arts and medicine at several different universities. He studied the laws which govern the Catholic church, an area of study called Canon Law, and he worked as a Canon or clergyman at the cathedral in Frauenberg. To these ideas, Copernicus added his own observations. He observed that the planet Mars changed in brightness as it moved in its orbit. Copernicus learned from Ptolemy that the change in brightness was probably caused by a change in the distance from Mars to earth. While Ptolemy explained this change in distance with epicycles , Copernicus thought the change in distance from Mars to earth must be much greater than the epicycle could account for. There had to be a different way to explain the change in the distance to Mars.

Previous (Chronologically) Next Chronological Index Previous ( Alphabetically) Next Alphabetical Index Copernicus was a proponent of the view of an Earth in daily motion about its axis and in yearly motion around a stationary sun. Copernicus studied first at the University of Krakow which was famous for mathematics, philosophy, and astronomy. Copernicus then studied liberal arts at Bologna from 1496 to 1501, medicine at Padua, and law at the University of Ferrara. He graduated in 1503 with a doctorate in canon law. He then took up duties at the cathedral in Frauenberg. Copernicus performed his ecclesiastical duties, practised medicine, wrote a treatise on monetary reform, and became interested in astronomy. In May 1514 Copernicus circulated in manuscript Commentariolus , the first outline of the arguments eventually substantiated in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543. Copernicus proposed that a rotating Earth revolved with the other planets about a stationary central Sun.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) Latest Modification: July 22, 1996 Web Sites The five-hundredth anniversary of Copernicus's birth was celebrated throughout the world in 1973. Various governments issued commemorative stamps in his honor; the last of the two orbiting astronomical observatories, launched by NASA in 1972, was named OAO-Copernicus , and historians of science met to eulogize the accomplishments of the man who revolutionized astronomy with his heliocentric system. After the death of his father when Copernicus was 10 years old, an uncle, a churchman who later became a bishop, raised him and saw to it that he had an excellent education. Copernicus studied mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, and astrology at the University of Cracow, and he studied law and medicine at the Universities of Bologna and Padua. When he returned to Poland, he lived for a while in his uncle's castle. There he spent time as a physician, engaged in diplomatic activities, and undertook various administrative duties. After he was elected a canon through his uncle's influence, he had sufficient income to devote more of his time to astronomy, his first love. Beginning in 1512, Copernicus set himself the task of examining critically the various systems of the world that had been proposed in the past. Becoming dissatisfied with the complexity and improbability he found in the Ptolemaic system, he revived Aristarchus's heliocentric concept sometime before 1514. Placing the Sun at the center of the Solar System simplified matters, as wrote Copernicus: "In the center of everything the Sun must reside;...there is the place which awaits him where he can give light to all the planets." In his development of the heliocentric system, Copernicus also retained the notion of uniform circular motion. He was thereby compelled to introduce a number of epicycles and eccentrics in order to account for the variable movements of the planets.
