| Abstract |
The article discusses the 1617 third edition of the book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" by Nicolaus Copernicus, published under the title "Astronomia instaurata (Restored astronomy)" in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, edited by Nicolaus Mulerius, and produced by Willem Janszoon. It considers why this edition is considered the most correct edition of Copernicus' work compared to the earlier 1543 and 1566 editions. The 1821 review of the book written by the French astronomer Jean-Baptiste Joseph Delambre is also considered. |
