ABSTRACT
Johannes de Glogovia was one of the most influential and innovative teachers at the University of Kraków in the late 15th century. He made a number of contributions to logic and natural philosophy that may have influenced Nicholas Copernicus’s understanding of the relationship between antecedents and consequents in evaluating astronomical hypotheses.
Born c.1445, Johannes (John) of Glogovia was one of the most important philosophers and professors at the University of Kraków when Nicholas Copernicus (1473–1543) was there between 1491 and 1495. It is virtually certain that John or some of his students taught Copernicus the liberal arts.
