To celebrate the birthday of a great Polish astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, I made this video. It is a Latin Wikipedia entry about Copernicus. Enjoy! 🙂
Nīcolāus Copernicus (Theodisce: Niklas Koppernigk, lĭngŭă Polonica: Mikołaj Kopernik; ab ănnō mīllēsĭmō quadringentēsimō septuāgēsimō tĕrtiō ăd ănnum mīllēsĭmum quīngentēsimum quadrāgēsimum tertium), ŏrĭgĭne “Torinensīs” vel “Tornaeus”, nātiōne Polonus, fŭit clērus Catholĭcus ĕt măthēmătĭcŭs ĕt ăstrŏnomus ătquĕ cŏndĭtŏr theōriae hēlĭocentricae, quăm ĭn librō Latīnē scrīptō Nīcolāī Copernīcī Torinēnsis Dē rĕvŏlūtiōnĭbus ŏrbĭŭm coelĕstĭŭm, Lĭbrī sĕx Norimbergae ănnō mīllēsimō quīngentēsimō quadrāgēsimō tertiō prōmŭlgāvit. Ĭdĕō “tĕrrae stătŏr sōlis mōtor” ăppĕllātur.

I use classic restored Latin pronunciation. The text is very basic, so it is useful for beginners in the language.
