I got to be honest too. At least my name is public and on the record, along with my work. You are irrelevant. So is what you say. You haven't read anything. Are you retarded or dis…

I know what I know from experience. You know what you know from nothing at all. Numerous people have commented to me about Hebrew and Latin works, who know what they are talking ab…

Copernicus and Kepler have both been translated to English. I am focusing on works that haven't been. Gans met and wrote about his encounters with Tycho. It was these documented en…

David Gans, in Nechmad v'Na'im, the first book I translated, states as a matter of fact that any wisdom obtained by the nations regarding astronomy came from the Jews. Ralbag's tre…
