英语词汇copernican的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Copernican; Copernican theory. Early in the 16th century the Copernican theory established that all the planets, includ- ing the earth, revolve in orbits around the sun, in opposition to the older Ptolemaic theory (see ptolemaic system) that the sun and planets move around the earth. It immortalizes Coper- nicus (1473–1543), the Latinized form of the surname of Mikolaj Koppernigk, whose work revolutionized astronomy, changing man’s entire outlook on the universe and influencing a profound change on the inner man as well. The great astrono- mer, born in Prussian Poland, made his living as a physician and canon of the cathedral of Frauenburg. He completed his theory as early as 1530, when he circulated in manuscript a brief popular account of it, but De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium wasn’t published until 13 years later, when he lay on his deathbed. Though the work was dedicated to Pope Paul III, it was placed on the church’s index of forbidden books. Coper- nican also means revolutionary, in reference to the new system’s impact on the world. See flatearthers.
