	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Johannes Kepler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630), a key figure in the scientific revolution, was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer of famed brilliance.
		Born prematurely, Johannes is said to have been a weak and sickly child, but despite his ill health, he was precociously brilliant - he often impressed travelers at the inn [aforementioned] with his phenomenal mathematical faculty as a child.
		There is some evidence this association was of ancient origin, as Plato tells of one Timaeus of Locri who thought of the Universe as being enveloped by a gigantic dodecahedron while the other four solids represent the "elements" of fire, air, earth, and water.

	Introduction by Vivian Nutton
		Venetian printers were certainly as sophisticated in their typography as the Swiss, and there is no reason to believe that there was a lack of investment potential among Venetian printers or shortages of paper or metal for the fonts.
		To what extent, if at all, he had been involved in the reissue by Oporinus around 1548–49 of a variant version, slightly corrected and using in part a different font, is unclear.
		Oporinus was in the printing business to make money, not to offer a charitable service to authors.

		This is a perforated case lined with a translation of the correspondence between Vesalius and Oporinus.
		It was while researching the commission in Padua, in the Museum of Renaissance Anatomy, that I requested translations of the original correspondence between Vesalius and Johannes Oporinus his publisher in Basel.
		I wonder in my dreams whether or not that suitcase was made to be mounted upon a tripod, as if it had become some artful camera obscura; this would explain the tight cluster of holes in the base of the suitcase and the glue which surrounded them.

		He asks the printer to retain the meticulous markings on the images and in the margins of the pages and to use the best quality paper to avoid obscuring the contents of images and text.

		The fact that the skeletons and the flayed cadavers are represented against a background of charming landscapes in the Italian style does not distract from the accuracy with which even the smallest anatomical details are represented.
		From Padua, where they were designed and carved under supervision of the author, the blocks were sent to Basle, to the printing business of Johannes Oporinus.
		This is demonstrated by the largely unchanged version of 1725, which was edited by the famous physicians Herman Boerhaave and Bernard Albinus.

		In view of this unfamiliarity it is not surprising that it was the same Conrad Gessner who sixteen years later publicly issued the first theological condemnation of his countryman, when he wrote in a letter in 1561: 'I am entirely convinced that Paracelsus was a follower of Arius'.
		But even Oporinus' nephew, the cautious Theodor Zwinger, who a few years later came to acknowledge the greatness of Paracelsus as a result of his thorough study of Hippocrates, and publicized his views to the horror of his academic colleagues, appears at first to have hardly occupied himself with the theological writings of Paracelsus.
		There cannot have existed an initial sympathy, or even political complicity on the part of the Calvinists with the Rosicrucian and Weigelian movement (which many Lutheran theologians were only too happy to believe at the time, a fact which some historians even today cite as evidence).

		Wigand and Judex feared that Oporinus was making plans for his own German translation; whatever plans had been made, they said, to translate the ecclesiastical history in Basel, they trustd Oporinus would cease and desist forthwith.
		Even as Rebhardt was finally going to press with Century IV, Wigand notified Oporinus once again that he would seriously consider changing to the Basel printer for the remainer of the German centuries.
		While the centuriators did express their desire to have Oporinus publish both the Latin and German versions, once Century IV was printed by Rebhardt, Oporinus was already saddled by serious legal and financial problems himself, and probably could not take on new ventures.

		The purpose of this study was to determine the locations of the second edition (1555) of the DeHumani Corporis Fabrica written by Vesalius in the United Kingdom.
		In 1555, the Belgian anatomist Andreas Vesalius, together with his publisher, Johannes Oporinus of Basel, produced a second follow-up edition of his revolutionary work De Humani Corp oris Fabrica.
		This suggests that during the early 1550s, about the time that Vesalius and Oporinus began planning their second edition, demand for even an expensive illustrated version of the Fabrica remained high enough to make the effort and outlay of its production worthwhile.
