Tycho Brahe - A Picture of Scientific Life and Work in the Sixteenth Century #225731

Among other publications of importance for the study of Tycho Brahe's life and activity must be mentioned the biography of Kepler, by Frisch, in the last volume of Kepler's Opera Omnia, and several papers by Professor Rudolph Wolf of Ziirich on Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse Cassel, and his astronomers Rothmann and Burgi. Though only indirectly bearing on Tycho (of whose merits Professor Wolf on every occasion speaks somewhat slightingly), these valuable papers throw much light on the state of science at the end of the sixteenth century, and will often be found quoted in the following pages.
