I just mentioned this in a comment to [livejournal.com profile] james_nicoll, but it seems worth noting here.

[livejournal.com profile] apostle_of_eris has just pointed out that a facsimile of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium is online.

(I wonder if Owen Gingerich will visit the server where it's housed, looking for notes in the margins of the hard disks?)

IIRC, I posted that to the General Tecnics listserv . . .
I can't figure out if this post of Bill's now makes the thread multi-media, or if this is just more Living in the Future. Which, of course, being able to pull up images of the original Copernicus is . . .
Multi-modal? Some neologism I haven't encountered yet?
