First Complete Translation

Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

While E. J. Aiton's translation of Kepler's 'Harmonices Mundi' (1997) is well-known, it does not include the 'Apologia' (1622), which was a separate polemical work written by Kepler to defend his book against Robert Fludd. My searches of major catalogs (including local, Open Library, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of a published English translation of this specific 'Apologia'. Therefore, it appears that no complete English translation of this Latin text exists.

About This Book

Step inside the high-stakes intellectual battle that defined the birth of modern science. In this fiery defense, Johannes Kepler protects his mathematical vision of the universe against the 'dark riddles' of Hermetic mysticism, proving that the stars move not by magic, but by the elegant laws of geometry.
