	Frombork
		Frombork (in German Frauenburg) is a town since 1945 in northern Poland, situated in the Warminsko-Mazurskie region on the Vistula Bay[?].

		The Copernicus monument in Frauenburg, built by German Emperor Wilhelm II, was destroyed by Polish authorities in the mid-1950s, after the city became part of Polish territory in the aftermath of World War II.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nicolaus Copernicus
		His medical practice, which was only private, would not speak against him being a priest, and the fact that in 1537 King Sigismund of Poland put his name on the list of four candidates for the vacant episcopal seat of Ermland, makes it probable that, at least in later life, he had entered the priesthood.
		After the death of his uncle, in 1512, Copernicus went to Frauenburg for the election of the new bishop, and remained there until 1516, when he was nominated administrator of the diocesan castle of Allenstein.

		He returned to Frauenburg (also known as Frombork) in the spring of 1501 and was officially installed as a canon of the Ermland Chapter on 27 July.
		Always keen to make observations, Copernicus returned to his home/observatory in Frauenburg whenever there was a reason to attend a meeting or consult with the other canons, always taking the opportunity to further his researches.
		Copernicus returned to Frauenburg where his life became less eventful and he had the peace and quiet that he longed for to allow him to make observations and to work on details of his heliocentric theory.

	Nicholas Copernicus
		This representation of the heavens is usually called the heliocentric, or "Sun-centred," system--derived from the Greek helios, meaning "Sun." Copernicus's theory had important consequences for later thinkers of the scientific revolution, including such major figures as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, and Newton.
		In 1501 he stayed briefly in Frauenburg but soon returned to Italy to continue his studies, this time at the University of Padua, where he pursued medical studies between 1501 and 1503.
		When Rheticus left Frauenburg to return to his teaching duties at Wittenberg, he took the manuscript with him in order to arrange for its publication at Nurnberg, the leading centre of printing in Germany.

	Nicolaus Copernicus
		His uncle Lucas Waczenrode, who was a canon at Frauenburg Cathedral, became guardian to Nicolaus and Barbara Koppernigk's four children.
		This was allow him to be physician to his maternal uncle Lucas Waczenrode, the Bishop of Ermland, but he carried out far more duties for his uncle than medical ones becoming essentially his private secretary and personal advisor.
		Given Copernicus's nature it is clear that he would have liked to have lived a quiet life at Frauenburg, carrying out his (relatively few) duties conscientiously and devoting all his spare time to observing, developing his theories of the universe, and writing De revolutionibus.

	Nicolaus Copernicus
		At Rome, in the Jubilee year 1500, he himself lectured with applause; but having been nominated in 1497 canon of the cathedral of Frauenburg, he recrossed the Alps in 1501 with the purpose of obtaining further leave of absence for the completion of his academic career.
		The main lines of his great work were laid down at Heilsberg; at Frauenburg, from 1513, he sought, with scanty instrumental means, to test by observation the truth of the views it embodied.
		But the first printed copy reached Frauenburg barely in time to be laid on the writer's deathbed.

		On his uncle’s death in 1512, Copernicus took up the post of canon of Frauenburg Cathedral to which he had been appointed in 1499.
		By this time he had already abandoned the Ptolemaic system and had begun to formulate the revolutionary system with which his name has been associated (see Copernican system and Copernican Revolution).
		In fact, it was not until Rheticus arrived in Frauenburg in 1539 and intervened that Copernicus reluctantly allowed its publication.

		1543, Frauenburg) is considered the father of modern astronomy and is regarded by some as the founder of modern science as well.
		He was a true Renaissance man: he mastered the full spectrum of learning by studying medicine, philosophy, and mathematics at the University of Cracow; law at Bologna; theology at Frauenburg; and astronomy, mathematics, and natural philosophy on his own.
		Although he authored a work on the currency reform in Polish principalities and translated some Greek poets into Latin, his work in astronomy was by far his greatest contribution.

		His growing fame attracted the notice of his uncle the bishop, at whose suggestion Copernicus took holy orders, and he was presently appointed to a canonry in the cathedral of Frauenburg, near the mouth of the Vistula.
		He arranged apertures in the walls of his house at Allenstein, so that he could observe in some fashion the passage of the stars across the meridian.
		That he possessed some talent for practical mechanics is proved by his construction of a contrivance for raising water from a stream, for the use of the inhabitants of Frauenburg.

		At Frauenburg he employed his leisure studying cosmology, making some astronomical instruments, and taking some planetary observations; there are about sixty records of data (he was not a good observer).
		At forty-one, however, he did receive a request from the Lateran Council to reform the Julian calendar, which he declined to alter, being of the opinion that the known solar and lunar positions were too inaccurate for calculations.

		It is incredible to think, but had a young mathematics professor called Georg Joachim Rheticus not appeared when he did, Copernicus might have taken his own sacred knowledge with him to the grave.
		He brought the old man expensive presents--the first printed editions of Euclid and Ptolemy--and asked when he would be publishing the details of the Sun-centered theory that he had described in 1514.

		Being far away from the main European universities and printing shops, it is very unlikely that Copernicus would have seen his astronomical treatise printed except for the active role of Georg Joachim Rheticus, a young professor of astronomy from Lutheran Wittenberg.
		In 1538, Rheticus headed south to Nuremberg, where he met Johann Schöner, an expert in astrology and editor of the manuscripts of the most important astronomer of the 1400s, Johannes Regiomontanus.
		Copernicus was then 67 years old, and by 1540 gave Rheticus permission to publish the Narratio prima, or the "First Report" on the new heliocentric system.
