A lecture by Concetta Luna (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa).
November 2015 saw the publication of the critical edition of Copernicus’ De Revolutionibus, the watershed work in the history of cosmology that put an end to the geocentric model of the universe. Thanks to the tireless effort and acumen of a team composed by Michel-Pierre Lerner, Alain Philippe Segonds (1942-2011), Jean-Pierre Verdet, Concetta Luna and other scholars working in connection with the Observatoire de Paris, the De Revolutionibus is now open to scholars, with complete annotation.
