De Revolutionibus is not just a collection of facts and techniques.

Hence, noting the simplicity achieved in Copernicus' formulation does not provide another reason for the acceptance of De Revolutionibus, another reason beyond its systematic superiority.

Granted, the cosmological, philosophical, and cultural reverberations initiated by the De Revolutionibus were felt with increasing violence during the 300 years to follow.

There is no doubt that Copernicus ' " De Revolutionibus " seeks to advance a sun-centered system, but in this book he had to resort to Ptolemaic devices ( viz., epicycles and eccentric circles ) in order to explain the change in planets ' orbital speed.

" In 1758 the general prohibition against works advocating heliocentrism was removed from the Index of prohibited books, although the specific ban on uncensored versions of the Dialogue and Copernicus's De Revolutionibus remained.

This assessment led to Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium to be placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum-the Index of Forbidden Books.

Copernicus in De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium published in Nuremberg in 1543 challenged the Western religious teaching of a geocentric universe where the sun rotated around the earth.

Perhaps the most controversial and important work of the time period was a treatise printed in Nuremberg, entitled De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium: in it, the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus removed the Earth from its privileged position in the universe, which had far-reaching effects, not only in science, but in literature and its approach to humanity, hierarchy, and truth.

Copernicus cited Aristarchus in an early ( unpublished ) manuscript of De Revolutionibus ( which still survives ) so he was clearly aware of at least one previous proponent of the heliocentric thesis.

Nicolaus Copernicus published the definitive statement of his system in De Revolutionibus in 1543.

Some years after the publication of De Revolutionibus John Calvin preached a sermon in which he denounced those who " pervert the course of nature " by saying that " the sun does not move and that it is the earth that revolves and that it turns ".

Prior to the publication of De Revolutionibus, the widely accepted system had been that which was proposed by Ptolemy, in which the Earth was the center of the universe and all celestial bodies orbited it.

In the sixteenth century Copernicus employed this model, modified to heliocentric form, in his De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium.

Owen Gingerich gives a slightly different version: Kepler knew of Osiander's authorship since he had read about it in one of Schreiber's annotations in his copy of De Revolutionibus ; Maestlin learned of the fact from Kepler.

However, Maestlin already suspected Osiander, because he had bought his De Revolutionibus from the widow of Philipp Apian ; examining his books, he had found a note attributing the introduction to Osiander.
