THE results of the `Copernican Revolution' have been well described by historians of science. Less has been said about the origins of this revolution; that is, the problems and facts leading Copernicus to a conviction of the physical truth of the Earth's daily rotation and of its annual revolution around the Sun. I have developed a conjecture on this problem which will doubtless prove incorrect when closer study of the relevant sources is made, but which at least directs attention to a natural series of scientific problems, and which is based on Copernicus's own recollections of his early work.
