		Jesse Krai Rheticus' Poem 'Concerning the Beer of Breslau and the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac', pp.
		Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574) was central to the development and popularization of Copernicus' heliocentric theory.
		Rheticus' poem 'Concerning the Beer of Breslau and the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac', written circa 1542, sheds light on two aspects of Rheticus' early involvement with the heliocentric theory.

	Review: One Man's Key Role in the Copernican Revolution
		In "The First Copernican: Georg Joachim Rheticus and the Rise of the Copernican Revolution" (Walker and Company, $25.95), Danielson examines this somewhat neglected chapter in Copernican literature by examining the role of Rheticus as agent, impresario and promulgator of his teacher's theories.
		Rheticus used his position as professor of astronomy at the University of Leipzig as a pulpit for preaching the usefulness and elegancy of the Sun-centered universe model.
		Rheticus' first effort to address the problem was a 1551 pamphlet, "Canon of the Science of Triangles," which contained the first six-function trigonometry tables ever published.

		In the spring of that year, Georg Joachim Rheticus, a professor of mathematics at the University of Wittenberg, was granted a leave to visit Nicolaus Copernicus in Frauenberg, Poland to learn more about his new theory that the earth and planets revolve about the sun.
		Rheticus spent two years as an assistant to Copernicus after he was granted a leave from the University of Wittenberg (a point not even mentioned by White).
		First Rheticus had to return to Wittenberg to teach in the spring of 1642, but in May of that year he was free to take the manuscript to Protestant Nuremberg for publication.

	Georg Joachim Rheticus Summary

		Georg Joachim von Lauchen, also known as Rheticus, was born in 1514 at Feldkirch, Austria and died in 1574 at Košice, Hungary.

		Rheticus 1539-ben látogatóba utazott Kopernikuszhoz, hogy jobban tanulmányozhassa tanait, amelyekkel a Ptolemaiosz nevével fémjelzett geocentrikus felfogás helyébe a napközpontú, heliocentrikus szemléletet állította.
		Rheticus már Kopernikusz híres könyvének, "De revolutionibus orbium coelistium" (1543) megjelenése elõtt - amelynek kézirata az õ közvetítésével került a nürnbergi nyomdába - 1540-ben kiadott egy rövid összefoglalást a kopernikuszi tanokról.
		Rheticus nem említi Münster nevét, valószínûleg azért, mert szerinte ez a módszer jóval régebbi, a tengerhajózási térképek készítésénél került alkalmazásra.

	Nicholas Copernicus
		According to a later horoscope, Nicolaus Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473, in Torun, a city in north-central Poland on the Vistula River south of the major Baltic seaport of Gdansk.
		Copernicus, as is known from Rheticus, was "assistant and witness" to some of Novara's observations, and his involvement with the production of the annual forecasts means that he was intimately familiar with the practice of astrology.
		Rheticus, a Lutheran from the University of Wittenberg, Germany, stayed with Copernicus at Frauenburg for about two and a half years, between 1539 and 1542.

	The First Copernican: Georg Joachim Rheticus and the Rise of the Copernican Revolution Natural History - Find Articles
		Rheticus was only twenty-five when, in 1539, he first traveled to Frauenburg (in what is now Poland) to study with Copernicus.
		Rheticus was enthusiastic about Copernicus's novel idea of how the universe was constructed, and within two years of his visit he had published a short precis on the Copernican theory, the Narratio prima ("First Account"), the first public exposition of Copernicanism for general readers.
		For his role in the birth of mathematical astronomy, Rheticus justly deserves to be remembered, along with Halley, as one of the fathers--and midwives--of modern science.

	Copernicus Receives Controversial Manuscript On Deathbed
		However, Georg Joachim Rheticus, Nicolaus Copernicus' first and only disciple, says that his teacher was at least able to hold the first printed copy of his latest opus De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium ("On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres") in his dying hands.
		Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland and was orphaned at the age of 10.
		According to her, it was Rheticus who possessed the eagerness to show the world about the Heliocentric Theory.

	Cosmic Controversy Reviews
		Rheticus' name will be unfamiliar to all but those who have more than a passing acquaintance with the development of astronomy, from Copernicus to Kepler.
		For Copernicus, the push to publish came from his disciple, Joachim Rheticus, a young scholar from Wittenberg who traveled to Frauenburg, where the aging astronomer was working as a canon in the cathedral there.
		Rheticus had come to learn of the new astronomy, after first learning of Copernicus’ unusual system of the universe from Johannes Petreius, a publisher in Nuremberg.

		Rheticus is famous for his role in publicising Copernicus' system and publishing the De revolutionibus (1542).
		Rheticus is also known for his extensive trigonometric tables, '"a labor of twelve years, while I always had to support a certain number of arithmeticians for these computations," Rheticus had informed Ramus in 1568' (quoted from DSB).

		Though he had published nothing on the topic, rumors had abounded for years about Copernicus's revolutionary (many would call it heretical) theory that the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center of the universe, and about a manuscript he had almost completed on the subject.
		Intending to stay a month, Rheticus spent three years at Copernicus's side, during which time he persuaded the aging astronomer to complete his manuscript, De revolutionibus, and let him take it to a printer in Germany for publication.
		For his part, Rheticus dodged a scandal that almost ruined him and, as the founder of modern trigonometry, became a trailblazer of science in his own right.

		In 1536, at the age of 22, Rheticus became a professor of mathematics there, and further travels in the area took him to Nuremberg, where he met Johannes Petreius, a Nuremberg publisher.
		Rheticus fumed, and he crossed out the preface in the copies of the book that came his way.
		The older Rheticus, as Danielson mentions in passing, denounced Greek astronomy as a mass of useless theories.
