| Titolo: | Sur un avertissement célèbre : l'Ad lectorem du De revolutionibus de Nicolas Copernic / Michel-Pierre Lerner, Alain-Philippe Segonds. |
| Abstract: | The Ad lectorem de hypothesibus huis operis, which was placed at the beginning of Copernicus' book, but which was not of his authorship, has given rise to questions and perplexity ever since its appearance in De revolutionibus in 1543. The typographical presentation of this preliminary piece and its content, in contradiction with the author's own preface (Praefatio authoris), led the first readers of the De revolutionibus to attribute it to someone other than Copernicus himself. A reader's notes in the margins of Copernicus' book, as well as various writings published before 1600, show that the identity of the author of the Ad lectorem came to be rapidly known. But it was only in 1609, in the Astronomia nova, that Kepler made public the name of Andreas Osiander. Considered also are the personality of Osiander, and the circumstances which led him to place this text at the beginning of Copernicus' work, as well as the principal reactions triggered by his initiative, both those of approval and of criticism. Finally the question is raised of what Osiander's tactic may have been, and in conclusion, whether, looking back, he was successful, or not, in adopting it. |
