A book on Johannes Kepler's cosmological theory based on the Copernican system. The full title translates to Forerunner of the Cosmological Essays, Which Contains the Secret of the Universe; on the Marvelous Proportion of the Celestial Spheres, and on the True and Particular Causes of the Number, Magnitude, and Periodic Motions of the Heavens; Established by Means of the Five Regular Geometric Solids, but it is generally called The Cosmographic Mystery.
