Copernicus face told from his skull

[Martin]

Copernicus skull was found according to this news item

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051104/ap_on_re_eu/poland_copernicus

 

and a forensic reconstruction made, using the scull, and compared with a contemporary portrait

the portrait they had to compare with was actually a self-portrait that Copernicus did himself----does anyone have a a link to the self-portrait?

I don't and would like to see it

Pity he lived before radio, because he had a face made for it.

Lol, perhaps that is why he focused on science. On pages 7-9 of these notes there are several images of Copernicus: http://home.fnal.gov/~rocky/NS102/lecture3.pdf
