- W1022572254 abstract "The best known passage in Copernicus’ De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (1543) is undoubtedly that in which Copernicus likens the sun at the centre of the universe to a lamp hanging in the midst of a temple. The significance of this arresting pericope is enhanced by the fact that it appears in juxtaposition with De revolutionibus’ celebrated diagram of the heliocentric universe. So well known, and so frequently analysed, is the passage that the historian cannot but feel some embarrassment at referring to it, much less quoting it. Yet quote it we must, for it alone can serve as the text for the present paper: In the middle of all is the seat of the Sun. For who in this most beautiful of temples would put this lamp in any other or better place than the one from which it can illuminate everything at the same time? Aptly indeed is he named by some as the lantern of the universe, by others the mind, by others the ruler. Trismegistus called him the visible God, Sophocles’ Electra, the watcher over all things. Thus indeed the Sun as if seated on a royal throne governs his household of Stars as they circle round him. Earth also is by no means cheated of the Moon’s attendance, but as Aristotle says in his book On Animals the Moon has the closest affinity with the Earth. Meanwhile the Earth conceives from the Sun, and is made pregnant with annual offspring." @default.
