Abstract
It has long been conventional to associate the scientific revolution with Copernicus’s De revolutionibus (1543). This essay argues in contrast that Kepler’s Astronomia nova (1609) marks the transformation of science, and especially astronomy, from the ancient and medieval heritage to the modern era. However, Kepler’s extraordinary accomplishment has been lost in contradictory historiographies that do not appreciate Kepler’s unifying theological approach to astronomy.
