Summary/Abstract: This article discusses a recent monograph of studies on Nicolaus Copernicus.The book demonstrates the degree of difficulty faced by a historian while constructinga narrative about a protagonist who did not leave behind any direct sources during theperiod in question. The reviewed monograph organises knowledge about Nicolaus Co-pernicus’ student days, and the author verifies the findings of his predecessors in manyplaces, thus reliably depicting the circles in which the astronomer moved during his uni-versity period.
