Description	Nicholas Copernicus's landmark work, 'De Revolutionibus,' might never have been published had it not been for Georg Joachim Rhäticus. In the sixteenth century, Nicholas Copernicus proposed the theory that the Sun, not the Earth, is the center of the Universe. Although he had begun a manuscript to explain his theory, he had not completed it. Rhäticus, a mathematics teacher at Wittenberg who wanted to learn more about this new theory, traveled to Poland to visit Copernicus. During his stay with Copernicus, Rhäticus wrote and published this preliminary announcement of Copernicus's theory, 'The Narratio Prima,' or, 'The First Report.'
