A study of the astronomical culture of sixteenth-century Europe, with a particular focus on the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546–1601). It examines the roles that manuscript letters, printed books, and astronomical instruments played in developing an international community of scholars interested in the study of the heavens.
