1466年，在靠近欧洲最北海岸的托伦市，波兰国王和条顿骑士团签署了和约，使西普鲁士成为波兰领土的一部分。就在这座城市，仅仅7年后，也就是500年前，1473年，尼古拉斯·哥白尼出生了。我们对哥白尼的生平知之甚少，对他的童年几乎一无所知。他成长于一个远离文艺复兴创新中心的世界，这个世界在很大程度上仍然被中世纪的思想模式所主导。但是哥白尼和他的同时代人生活在一个探索和变革的时代，在他们的一生中，他们把天文学和地理学、数学和透视学、解剖学和神学的新图景拼凑在一起。
It was close to the northernmost coast of Europe, in the city of Torun, that the King of Poland and the Teutonic Knights signed and sealed the peace of 1466, which made West Prussia part of Polish territory. And it was in that city, just seven years later and precisely 500 years ago, in 1473, that Nicholas Copernicus was born. We know relatively few biographical facts about Copernicus and virtually nothing of his childhood. He grew up far from the centers of Renaissance innovation, in a world still largely dominated by medieval patterns of thought. But Copernicus and his contemporaries lived in an age of exploration and of change, and in their lifetimes they put together a renewed picture of astronomy and geography, of mathematics and perspective, of anatomy, and of theology.
