‘Van Lansberge taught the probability of the earth's motion according to Copernican doctrine; the same is true of … Commentationes … Both works were attacked for their Copernican ideas by Morin in his Famosi et antiqui problematis de telluris motu vel... (Paris, 1631), and by Libert Froidmond in his Anti-Aristarchus (Antwerp, 1631). He can be credited with bringing the ideas of Copernicus to a wide range of people who did not possess the mathematical background to read advanced texts.
