Technical parallels between al-Shatir's (not al-Haytham's) models and Copernican ones are also well-known, although there is no direct evidence of transmission. However, al-Shatir's models were geocentric, and Copernicus used plenty of other Ptolemaic devices related to epicycles, like everybody before Kepler. | |
