• Resumen

  • This article analyzes the Copernicus� position in the Renaissanse Humanism. Copernico belongs in time (1473-1543) and literary activities to the second Humanism. His printed work within the Humanae litterae is merely symbolic. But his scientific work reflects the so called �dream of humanism�, and that is to conquer a new civilization by the means of languages and classic cultures recovering. Far from the controversy against the contemporary science (scholasticism), Copernicus� references and criticisms to the greek and latin authors act as a support for the new model of Universe.
