Narratio Prima
Narratio Prima ( Latin for First Report ) is the short name of a work by Georg Joachim Rheticus , first published in 1540 , in which he described the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus , the publication of which he supervised three years later in Nuremberg under Johannes Petreius as De revolutionibus orbium coelestium .
history
The positive reception of the narrative printed by Franz Rhode in Danzig , which was designed as an open letter to Johannes Schöner and represents the first printed form of the Copernican theory , persuaded the almost 70-year-old Copernicus to finally agree to the publication of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium .
The Encomium Borussiae , a “praise to Prussia”, was also published. In 1541 a second edition was printed in Basel by Robert Winter , and there in 1566 a third by Henricus Petrus , in connection with the second edition of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium .
