forced to leave nurenberg
From the article:


 * In 1542 he traveled to Nürnberg to supervise the printing of the Copernicus material by Johannes Petreius, published upon Copernicus' death in 1543.

From On the Shoulders of Giants ISBN 9780762413485, pages 5-6:


 * He entrusted his student, George Rheticus with the manuscript, but when Rheticus was forced to leave Nuremberg, the manuscript fell into the hands of Lutheran theologian Andreas Osiander.

Right now the article is a little wrong. Rheticus did not oversee the printing. He was forced to leave Nurenberg. But I'd also like to know why. -- Sy / (talk) 03:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Link towards the LOCOMAT collection
Do you think it appropriate to add a link towards my locomat (http://www.loria.fr/~roegel/locomat.html) collection of reconstructions of mathematical tables? It contains full analyses and reconstructions of Rheticus' tables.Roegel (talk) 19:01, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds interesting, yes. Also, with your tables, it would be relatively easy to put the whole document on Latin Wikisource, as only few pages of text remain. -- Matthead Discuß   02:36, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Portrait
You can understand from here : http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/George_von_Rheticus that the portait is certainly a modern creation based on a portrait of King James I of England. Nothing to do with the real Rheticus, an nothing to do here imo. Przo (talk) 07:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

In popular culture: New Universe play
A play about Rheticus by John Barrow entitled New Universe opened this weekend in San Francisco. It was presented by the Left Coast Theatre Company as part of their anthology Queerstory: Forgotten Figures from Queer History. I debated whether to add this to the "In popular culture" section of the article but for now I'm merely suggesting it here on the talk page. The author and producers are not notable and, at the moment, only primary sources are available. Still, perhaps others might agree that this is a worthy addition to the article, so I have put it here for potential discussion. Thank you. -- GentlemanGhost   (séance)  00:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
