Born the youngest of four children, the physician, translator, polyglot, governor, diplomat, classics scholar, and economist Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473-May 24, 1543) was born and died in Royal Prussia, a region of the Kingdom of Poland since 1466. His book, titled "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" initiated what has come to be known as the "Copernican Revolution", a heliocentric paradigm shift.
