Copernicus had a classical education for the times, for he became a clergyman, actually of an obsolete ecclesiastical rank ( not sure of the exact title- Canon, maybe) that was between the ranks of Priest and Bishop and more cosmopollitan than Monsignor which is merely a senor priest of a parish. Therefore he had a theological background. there is some evidence he was also a physician. for the times, a Renaissance man the Polish Priestly Astronomer!
