Re: Heliocentric Universe -- 54v (Beinecke)

Folks

To date the VMs as "post Copernican", ie subsequent
to the publication in 1543 of De revolutionibus orbium
coelestium, seems a big stretch given the other
contents of the document.  To give one example,
if a couple of the folios do represent a disc-and-tau
flat earth, they come from a much earlier perspective.

And even if there is a representation of a heliocentric
planetary system, that doesn't prove post Copernicus,
merely post Aristarkhos.
