Rheticus (1514-1574) rheticus, also known by his nonLatinized name georg joachim von Lauchen, wasthe son of an alchemist, astrologer, and magician beheaded for sorcery. http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/R/Rheticus.html
Extractions: An Austrian mystic and mathematician who studied under, and was the most outspoken advocate of, Copernicus , and who arranged for the posthumous publication of Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543). Rheticus, also known by his non-Latinized name Georg Joachim von Lauchen, was the son of an alchemist, astrologer, and magician beheaded for sorcery. He studied mathematics at Zürich, where he met Paracelsus, became professor of mathematics and astronomy at Wittenberg from 1536, and, in 1540, published Narratio prima de libris revolutionum Copernici , the first written account of Copernican theory. Having convinced Copernicus shortly before his death to allow publication of De Revolutionibus, Rheticus unfortunately left the manuscript in the hands of a Lutheran minister, Andreas Osiander, who didn't believe in the Copernican system as a physical model. Consequently, Osiander added an unauthorized preface stating that the contents was merely a device to simplify calculations.

Extractions: LU-Announce Donald H. Kobe is professor of physics at the University of North Texas. Contents The first chapter of Genesis teaches that God created the heavens and the earth. Orthodox theologians have taught that this creation is ex nihilo, out of nothing. This mode of creation means that there is a qualitative difference between the creator and his creation. The universe and the creatures in it are not emanations or extensions of God's being and therefore, do not share divinity with God [2]. Nevertheless, humans were created in God's image. Human beings are, therefore, spiritual as well as physical beings who are capable of rational thought. God gave humans dominion over the creatures and authority to name them, which implies a systematic approach to nature. He commanded humans to subdue the earth (i.e., have stewardship over it), which can be interpreted as the Judeo-Christian imperative to engage in what we now call science. Modern science developed during the Renaissance and the Reformation. The role of the latter on the development of science has sometimes been said to have been negative. In this paper the views of Martin Luther and his followers toward science, especially astronomy, are examined. Although they have been criticized as being negative and obstructionist, this criticism is without justification. Luther's attitude toward science in general is dealt with in Section II. Section III deals with his attitude toward Copernicus. The attitude of some of Luther's followers towards Copernicus is discussed in Section IV. The conclusion is given in Section V.

Extractions: German anthropologist was a Roman Catholic priest whose research focussed on the origin of the idea of God and religion within various cultures, trying to link what emerged from ethnological studies with what is stated in the Bible. Schmidt proposed theories on the effect of environment in the evolution of families. He extensively studied ethnography particularly culture circles, a series of four main stages that the base cultures of this world went through: Primitive (hunter-gatherer), Primary (horticulturists), Secondary (pastoralists) and lastly Tertiary (modern society). Others had proposed such a theory earlier, but Schmidt's work increased its popularity and acceptance. He founded the journal Anthropos Henry Martyn Leland

Extractions: How far Joachim Rheticus' recently discovered treatise on holy scripture and the motion of the earth played any part in the reception of Copernicanism must be a matter for conjecture. It was not printed until 1651 and what ever happenend to its manuscript until then is entirelyunknown. But it was evidently not through Rheticus, but through alightly older colleague, that the cause of Copernicus was to be commended in Northern Europe. He was Erasmus Reinhold, Senior Professor of Astronomy and Mathematics at Wittenberg at the time that Rheticus held a Junior Professional Post in the same university.

Extractions: Died: May 24, 1543, Frauenberg, East Prussia [now Frombork, Pol.]) Latin: Nicolaus Copernicus, German-Prussian dialect: Niklas Koppernigk, Polish: Mikolaj Kopernik Polish astronomer who proposed that the planets have the Sun as the fixed point to which their motions are to be referred; that the Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis; and that very slow, long-term changes in the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxes. This representation of the heavens is usually called the heliocentric, or "Sun-centred," system-derived from the Greek helios, meaning "Sun." Copernicus's theory had important consequences for later thinkers of the scientific revolution, including such major figures as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and Newton. Copernicus probably hit upon his main idea sometime between 1508 and 1514, and during those years he wrote a manuscript usually called the Commentariolus ("Little Commentary"). However, the book that contains the final version of his theory

Following the favourable reception of the Narratio Prima ,the Nuremberg printer Johannes Petreius asked Georg Joachim Rheticus to secure the printing of Copernicus' next work. Bearing books from the Petreius press as gifts, Rheticus made a trip to Frombork, which was successful. In 1542, Rheticus began supervising the publication of the De Revolutionibus in Nuremberg with Petreius, though he left before its completion to take up a post at the University of Leipzig. When it was finally published in March 1543, the De Revolutionibus contained an anonymous letter to the reader and two additional words to the title, celestium orbium ('of the celestial orbs'), which neither the author or Rheticus had intended.

Extractions: CULTURE AND COSMOS Jesse Krai Rheticus' Poem 'Concerning the Beer of Breslau and the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac', pp. Abstract. Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574) was central to the development and popularization of Copernicus' heliocentric theory. He is most well known for the first published account of the theory, the Narratio Prima in 1539, and his persuasion in obtaining Copernicus' manuscript for publication, De Revolutionibus (1543). Rheticus' poem 'Concerning the Beer of Breslau and the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac', written circa 1542, sheds light on two aspects of Rheticus' early involvement with the heliocentric theory. The poem helps us understand the approach to astrology which would prove decisive in Rheticus' acceptance of the heliocentric theory and offers a glimpse into Rheticus' association with Wittenberg's controversial group of young poets. This relationship significantly injured Rheticus' career and the heliocentric theory in turn.

Extractions: The newly-found Rheticus lectures Abstract This article discusses a hitherto unknown set of lectures presumably given by Georg Joachim Rheticus, and taken down by several students in Wittenberg. These lectures offer considerable insight into Rheticus' teaching activities shortly before the publication of De Revolutionibus (1543). The most salient aspects of this newly-found text may be summarized as follows: a) Rheticus was known among the students in Wittenberg as Joachimus Heliopolitanus, i.e. Joachim of the City of the Sun - a clear reference to Rheticus' stay in Frauenburg with Copernicus, b) Rheticus returned from his stay with Copernicus to Wittenberg for a short period of time in 1540 to fulfill his professorial obligations, and c) we have 155 folio pages which document Rheticus' introductory lectures on Astronomy.

Extractions: SIR WALTER SCOTT : Terrifically popular in his day, Scott decided he should make money as the publisher as well as author of his own works. With that in mind he went into partnership with printer John Ballantyne and then with the publisher Archibald Constable. When Constable and Company went bankrupt after the great financial crash of 1825, Scott found himself in debt for over 100,000 pounds. It was a gigantic sum in those days. A man of great pride, Scott refused the aid of friends and set out at age 55 to pay off the debt by writing. Between 1826 and 1830 he worked at a tremendous pace and managed to pay off one-third of the debt before the exertion brought on a stroke. He was never the same and died two years later. Yet he finally reached his goal: after his death the sale of rights to his stories brought in enough cash to pay off all his debts.
