Best Answer

Yes, he did. He primarily copied direct work and answers from the books, and works of legendary Muslim scholars Al- Batani, Ar- Razi (Greek name: Rhazes), Al- Tusi, e.t.c. Copernicus's works were not as accurate as the Muslim scholars 200 years before him, therefore, he could not help but to copy from their works. I am not 100% sure if he cited his copying.

Who wrote the Codex Sinaiticus and when?

The Codex Sinaiticus is simply a fourth-century copy of earlier manuscripts that have long since been destroyed. The importance of the codex is that it contains the earliest surviving copy of the New Testament, helping scholars to research how much the books of the New Testament have changed over the centuries and, where possible, why. So, the unknown scribe who copied out the Codex Sinaiticus should not be credited with writing any new work.

Did the Catholic Church not let Nicolas Copernicus publish his book?

Another answer from our community:The Catholic Church actually encouraged Nicolas Copernicus to publish his book, and it was published with a tribute to the reigned Pope, the local Bishops encouraged him, along with a Cardinal in Rome. Copernicus had major problems because the protestant Lutherans thought that he was going against the Bible, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble. At that time, Copernicus was already dying and at the end of his life, so only the chapter on mathematics was actually published before his final decline. Copernicus was urged by Cardinal Schonberg, then Archbishop of Capua, in a letter, dated at Rome, 1 November, 1536, to publish his discovery, or at least to have a copy made at the cardinal's expense. Shortly there after, Copernicus had a stroke and lost one side of his body, and his memory was greatly impaired. But for the protests of the protestants, the whole thing would have been published much earlier.
