Hey Mattheaaaadd,

YOU put in about three lines of text with 20 lines of References, a large part not translated. I translated and added some to the text, but don't know, what YOU want to do with the rest. Please sort through your references and post whatever. (When you're done, please remove ref. from talk). Thanx 3 Nov 2007

References ^ This happened thanks to Laurentius Corvinus (1465–1527), who started his studies at the Cracow University in 1484, receiving the master in liberal arts degree in 1489. As a student and magister at Cracow University he was acquainted with astronomy; as magister he lectured at the faculty for several years, including the first years of Copernicus’s studies in Cracow. In those years Corvinus lectured on “De ente et essentia” (1492) and “Aristotle’s Libri Posteriorum” (1493); he also wrote Cosmographia dans manuductionem in tabulas Claudii Ptolomei (published in Basel, 1496). During his long and friendly acquaintance with Copernicus, when they met in 1508, Corvinus helped to publish Copernicus’s Latin translation of the Byzantine Greek poetry by Theophylactus Simocatta, the “Letters”. Corvinus transmitted Copernicus’s translation to the printer’s shop in Cracow to be published in 1509.[1] ^ Bd. 2, S. 0935 Corvinus, Laurentius [Lorenz Rabe] (um 1462-1527) aus Neumarkt (Niederschlesien); studierte und lehrte in Krakau (Magister 1489); Einfluss von Celtis; Lehrer Bebels; 1494 Rektor in Schweidnitz, 1496 Lehrer in Breslau; 1506-1508 Stadtschreiber in Thorn; gestorben in Breslau.
