Peer review things to change
Moving forward, I plan on using the few sources in English to add the remaining facts that I can. I wall also look at adding context when possible. From my peer reviews, I realize that I need to be more concise in my wording and to make sure I am not accidentally using similar wording to a source when going from my notes to the article. I will also make sure that I’m not overusing words.

Introduction:

Urania Propitia was a simplification of the Rudolphine Tables written by Johannes Kepler in 1627.

Cunitz found many errors within the Rudolphine Tables. The simplifications to these tables were published as the Urania Propitia. In Urania Propitia, Cunitz removed logarithms from Kepler's work, which increased the accuracy and simplified the calculations from the Rudolphine Tables. Cunitz omitted some coefficients from her equations, leading to inaccuracies within her work. Astronomical tables of the time all contained computational errors, so despite these errors, Urania Propitia is seen as more accurate than Kepler’s work.

Urania Propitia was published in Latin and German. The German publication is credited as a source that led to establishing German as a scientific language. The publishing Urania Propitia is credited for making astrological tables more accessible outside of universities.
