  Andreas Osiander - LoveToKnow 1911
ANDREAS OSIANDER (1498-1552), German reformer, was born at Gunzenhausen, near Nuremberg, on the 19th of December 1498.
Osiander's son Lukas (1534-1604), and grandsons Andreas (1562-1617) and Lukas (1571-1638), were well-known theologians.
Osiander, besides a number of controversial writings, published a corrected edition of the Vulgate, with notes, in 1522, and a Harmony of the Gospels - the first work of its kind - in 1537.

  Osiander, Andreas (1498-1552)
Andreas (Hosemann) Osiander (1498-1552), a Lutheran preacher in Nürnberg, Germany, where he became very influential and participated in all the major church affairs.
At Osiander's instigation a course of action was adopted that ended in Denck's expulsion on 21 January 1525, and the later prohibition of the sale of the translation of the Prophets made by Denck and Haetzer, even though there was as yet no other German version and the translation was free of anything objectionable.
Osiander's position on the death penalty for Anabaptists was no doubt further affected by the attitude of Catholic princes, who frequently made no distinction between Anabaptists and other Protestants, killing both alike.

 Historiesche Quellen zum Nürnberger Schembartlauf
In Nürnberg betrieb vor allem Andreas Osiander (1498-1552) die Abschaffung des Schembartlaufs.
Osiander, seit 1520 als Hebräischlehrer am Nürnberger Augustinerkloster mit reformatorischem Gedankengut in Berührung gekommen, wurde 1522 Prediger an St. Lorenz und schließlich das geistliche Haupt der Reformation in Nürnberg.
Dieser weist auf Osianders Forderungen nach Einführung eines evangelischen Kirchenbanns ("Schlüsselgewalt") hin, die die gemäßigtere Richtung der Reformation und mit ihr die Mehrheit der Nürnberger Ratsherren als zu radikal ablehnten.

 Copernicus' Astronomy and Scientific Argument in the Renaissance
Osiander, however, took the liberty of adding a page of his own at the beginning: a letter to the reader concerning the contents of the book.
Osiander's argument is worth a careful look because it indicates just how science has been held in a different sort of light at different times; how beliefs about the sources and certainty of knowledge change over time.
Osiander's point is that if astronomical knowledge is only understood properly (that is, instrumentally, as a means for predicting the positions of planets, and not realistically, as a description of the structure of the universe), then one can find nothing objectionable in astronomy.

 Copernicus biography
Andreas, Nicolaus's brother, entered the University of Krakow at the same time, and both their names appear on the matriculation records of 1491-92.
However, since he was unable to stay to supervise the printing he asked Andreas Osiander, a Lutheran theologian with considerable experience of printing mathematical texts, to undertake the task.
What Osiander did was to write a letter to the reader, inserted in place of Copernicus's original Preface following the title page, in which he claimed that the results of the book were not intended as the truth, rather that they merely presented a simpler way to calculate the positions of the heavenly bodies.

 Systematic Theology - Volume III | Christian Classics Ethereal Library
This arose from the views of Andreas Osiander, a man of distinguished learning and of a speculative turn of mind; eminent first as a preacher, and afterwards as a professor in the university of Königsberg.
The speculations of Osiander as to the nature of God and his relation to man, might have led him under any circumstances to adopt the peculiar views above stated, but the proximate cause was no doubt the reaction from the too exclusive prominence given at that time to the objective work of Christ.
Osiander’s cast of mind made him revolt at this, and carried him completely over to the Romish side, so far as the nature of justification is concerned.

Through his analysis of these two religious paradigms, Osiander provides an insight into the origins of social order: a modus operandi that is visible even in the modern world.
The introduction of Christianity represents a dramatic paradigm shift, particularly if we emphasize the extent to which the new religion is concerned with controlling the behaviour, and even the thinking, of its adherents.
On this model, people tend to be judged by their perceived closeness to God, with some "higher" than others; invariably, it is the Self that is perceived as higher, and it is others, outsiders, that are perceived as lower, inferior.

 Owen Gingerich - CiS-St Edmunds Public Lecture
The distinction was rather clearly stated in the anonymous "Introduction to the Reader," added to De revolutionibus by the Lutheran clergyman Andreas Osiander, who had served as proofreader for the publication.
In the opening lines of his letter to Foscarini he stated, "First, I say that it appears to me that your Reverence and Signor Galilei did prudently to content yourselves with speaking hypothetically, as I have always supposed Copernicus did" [6].
Osiander has been much castigated for having had the presumption to preface Copernicus’; treatise in this manner, but he was preaching to the choir in what he added.

Andreas Osiander offers a new approach to the understanding of his subject...
Andreas Osiander looks at the four major European peace congresses: Munster and Osnabrück (1644-48), Utrecht (1712-15), Vienna (1814-15), and Paris (1919-20) and shows how a prevailing consensus on certain structural conceptsnullsuch as the balance of power or national self-determinationnullhas influenced the evolution of the system and determined its stability or lack of stability.
He argues that the structure of the international system is neither a given quantity nor determined primarily by conflict between international actors, but essentially the result of a general agreement expressed in `consensus principles'; these influence the identity of the international actors, their relative status, and the distribution of populations and territories between them.
