-“nicolaus copernicus” was a ‘renaissance’ mathematician/astronomer who formulated a model of the ‘universe’ that placed the ‘sun’ rather than the ‘earth’ at the center of the universe, likely independently of ‘aristarchus of samos’, who had formulated such a model some 18 centuries earlier-
.
(the publication of copernicus’ model in his book de revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the ‘copernican revolution’ and making an important contribution to the ‘scientific revolution’)
(‘copernicus’ was born and died in ‘royal prussia’, a region that had been part of the ‘kingdom of poland’ since 1466)
(a ‘polyglot’ and ‘polymath’, he obtained a doctorate in ‘canon law’ and was also a ‘mathematician’, ‘astronomer’, ‘physician’, ‘classics scholar’, ‘translator’, ‘governor’, ‘diplomat’, and ‘economist’)
.
(in 1517, he derived a ‘quantity theory’ of ‘money’ – a key concept in ‘economics’ – and in 1519 he formulated an economics principle that later came to be called ‘gresham’s law’)
