It is presently unknown when and where Copernicus encountered the book known as the [[Shepherd's Journal]]. It is most likely that he either assisted [[Leonardo da Vinci]] in deciphering the book or viewed it when it was under possession of [[Ferdinand V]]. Given his position as an astronomer, he perhaps assisted da Vinci to better understand the origin and nature of the crystals explained in the book. Furthermore, the book predated Copernicus' published assertion theorizing that the sun did not move, so it could be reasonable that his theories were inspired from having helped da Vinci translate the book. |
