The Copernicus of Antiquity: Aristarchus of Samos is a book written by Thomas Little Heath and published in 1920. The book is a comprehensive study of the life and work of Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek astronomer and mathematician who lived in the third century BCE. Aristarchus is known for his heliocentric theory of the solar system, which proposed that the sun, not the earth, was at the center of the universe. Heath's book delves into the historical context of Aristarchus' work, as well as his contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. The book also explores the impact of Aristarchus' ideas on later scientists, including Copernicus and Galileo. Heath's writing is scholarly and detailed, making this book an important resource for anyone interested in the history of science and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
