| Abstract: | Jerónimo Muñoz and Juan Cedillo Díaz: the Sun as the heart of the world in the debate on Copernicus. The article examines the different evaluations of Copernicus and heliocentrism by the two most important Spanish astronomers between 1543 and 1633, Jerónimo Muñoz and Juan Cedillo, focusing on the motif of the Sun as the heart of the world. This motif, positively added by Cedillo in his handwritten translation of De revolutionibus (I, 10), had been employed by Muñoz to criticise Copernicus in his manuscript Latin translation of Theon's Commentary on Ptolemy's Almagest (Biblioteca nazionale, Naples) for such an unacceptable denomination of the Sun. Although the motif might have come to Cedillo from other sources (ancient and medieval tradition; not ultimately Peurbach and Clavius), we argue that he may have received it from Muñoz himself during the latter's lessons at the University of Salamanca. We show that Muñoz's critique of heliocentrism and the Earth's motion is related to his decision to eliminate thecelestial spheres and his adherence to the Alpetragian model of a single planetary motion from East to West as well as to the attribution of a spiral motion to planets. In appendix, we offer the transcription of two important comments added by Muñoz to his translation of Theon's Commentary |
