De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) by Nicolaus Copernicus, in this magnificent Easton Press edition (1993), is a faithful reproduction of the 1543 astronomical treatise that forever altered humanity’s understanding of the cosmos. This seminal work, which dared to place the Sun—not Earth—at the center of the universe, is presented in a Latin facsimile format, preserving the original text’s typography and diagrams that challenged Ptolemaic dogma.
Bound in Easton Press’s finest full leather with 22-karat gold tooling, gilt edges, and archival-quality paper, this volume mirrors the revolutionary gravity of its contents. Copernicus’s meticulous calculations and celestial charts (including his iconic heliocentric model) are reproduced with precision, allowing readers to witness the birth of modern astronomy as it first appeared—a quiet bombshell wrapped in scholarly restraint.
“Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.” —Copernicus’s heresy, now gilt-edged history.
