"Johannes Kepler completed the Tabulae Rudolphinae in their logarithmic\r\nform in 1624. It then took three years to gather the financial support, find a\r\nsuitable publisher and, particularly, overcome the difficulties posed by\r\nTycho’s heirs, who claimed both a share in the profits as well as censorship\r\nrights. The tables represented the crowning achievement of Kepler’s career\r\nas an astronomer. Because of their novelty and importance, he proposed\r\nthat the tall folio volume should have an appropriate frontispiece. The\r\npaper describes the meaning of the very many components of the engraving\r\nand relates them to Kepler’s published works. Furthermore, it traces the\r\norigin of Kepler’s frontispiece to Tycho’s observatory on the Isle of Hven, as\r\nwell as suggests the possible pictorial source of the key element of the\r\ndrawing. Finally, it highlights how Kepler, by way of this frontispiece, found\r\nthe way both to assert his own position in and contribution to the history of\r\nastronomy, as well as to place himself in the dispute over the Copernican\r\nhypothesis."^^ .
