Abstract

The following premises shall be established:

Copernicus’s De revolutionibus is recognized as a lifetime edition; thus, it is currently an established fact that these six books — the result of one individual’s observations and calculations - were prepared for print and published by N. Copernicus himself;
opus (creation) - that which results from a specific action; a progeny or consequence of something [6];
Renaissance - a period of Western European culture, the distinguishing feature of which is the "Return to Antiquity";
