Early Life of Nicolaus Copernicus

He went to college university called Krakow University. I am studying Latin, mathematics, geography, philosophy, astronomy, but it is not a type of astronomy you think, it is not a true science course in modern sense. They are mathematics classes and teach Aristotle and Ptolemy cosmology, so students can sail the sacred day and star in the sea. In his "astronomy" course, they also taught what we call today astrology.

Nicolaus Copernicus is a Latin version of the name of a famous astronomer who chose that name later. The original form of his name is Mikolaj Kopernik or Nicolaus Koppernigk, but uses Copernicus throughout the article. His father, also known as Nicolaus Koppernigk, lived in Krakow before moving to Torun where he established a copper trading company. He is also interested in local politics, citizen leader of Torun and the magistrate. About 1463, Nicolaus Copernic married Barbara Watzen Road, a wealthy family from Torn. They moved to Toron 's St Annes Street house, but there was a summer house with vineyards. Nicolaus and Barbara Koppernigk have four children, two sons and two daughters. Nicolaus Copernicus is the youngest of them

On February 19, 1473, the famous astronomer Nikolaus Copernicus (Mikolaj Kopernik, Poland) came to the world, born in Nicolaus Copernicus Sr. and Barbara Watzenrode, he was Westfalia and Costa Rica. Wealthy copper merchant. German Tradition When he was born, Torun was transferred to Poland and made him a citizen under the crown of Poland. German is the first language of Copernicus, but some scholars believe that he also speaks Polish

Biography written by enthusiastic disciple George Joachim Rutius (1514-74) is unfortunately lost, but some facts about Copernicus's early life are established. Based on the subsequent constellation operation, Nicolas Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473 in the central city of Torun, Poland, on the Vistula River south of Gdansk in the Baltic Sea. His father Nicolaus is a wealthy businessman and his mother, Barbara Watzenrode, is also from a major merchant family. Nicolas is the youngest of the four children. After his father's death between 1482 and 1485, his mother's brother Lucas Vazzerod (1447-1512) placed his nephew under his protection. Watzenrode quickly became a bishop of the Varimia (Warmia) chapter, seeing the education of the young Nicolaus and his future church experience.
