The Copernicus of Antiquity, (Aristarchus of Samos) by Thomas Little Heath Pdf

Excerpt from The Copernicus of Antiquity, (Aristarchus of Samos) The title-page of this book necessarily bears the name of one man; but the reader will find in its pages the story, or part of the story, of many other Pioneers of Progress. The crowning achievement of anticipating the hypothesis of Copernicus belongs to Aristarchus of Samos alone; but to see it in its proper setting it is necessary to have followed in the footsteps of the earlier pioneers who, by one bold speculation after another, brought the solution of the problem nearer, though no one before Aristarchus actually hit upon the truth. This is why the writer has thought it useful to prefix to his account of Aristarchus a short sketch of the history of the development of astronomy in Greece down to Aristarchus's time, which is indeed the most fascinating portion of the story of Greek astronomy.

The Copernicus of Antiquity by Thomas Heath Pdf

Sir Thomas Heath has given us, under the title of "The Copernicus of Antiquity," an account of Aristarchus of Samos following a survey of the earlier Greek astronomers. With the Greeks astronomy and geometry advanced pari passu during a period of three centuries, until by the time of Aristarchus in the third century, B.C, there was large knowledge of the elements (plane and solid) of geometry, of conic sections, and of measurements of "areas of curves and the surfaces and volumes of curved surfaces by geometrical methods practically anticipating the integral calculus." The movement in astronomical knowledge was not less remarkable from the days of Thales of Miletus in the sixth century. Anaxagoras showed that the moonlight is sunlight, Pythagoras announced the sphericity of the earth, Oenopides of Chios proved the obliquity of the elliptic, while Aristarchus put forward, as Copernicus himself admits, the heliocentric hypothesis. This little book might well be used in schools as a step towards making clear the largeness of Greek humanism. --The Contemporary Review, Volume 120
