34 Dr. wolf’s Account of 
sarzewski, who has already refufed one hundred ducats 
for it, and will not part with it at any rate during his life y 
but intends to bequeath it me after his death ; for which 
reafon there is no probability of my ever pofleffing 
it, as he is likely to furvive me many years. We 
have a portrait of Copernicus in the great church at 
Thorn in a kind of maufoleum, created about thirty 
years after the death of that great man, by a phylician 
of that town, who is faid to have been one of his relations. 
hartknoch has inferted a print taken from this por- 
trait in his Chronicles of Pruffia. Our original has been 
compared with that of the maufoleum, and the features 
of the face are found to be perfectly fimilar, but there i9 
a great difference in the drefs. That at Thorn reprefents 
him kneeling before an altar, in the attitude of a prieft 
officiating ; in ours he is cloathed in fur, with his hair 
more 
deja refufe ioo ducats, et ne le cedera pas fa vie durant pour aucun prix : mais 
il rue le veut leguer apres fa morte. C’eft a dire tres probablement apres la 
mienne: de forte qu’il n’y a rien a efperer de ce cote-ci. Nous avons un por- 
trait de copernic dans la grande Eglife de Thorn, dans une efpece de 
maufolee, erige une trentaine d’annees apres la mort de cet homme celebre, par 
»n medecin de la ville, qu’on dit avoir ete un de fes parents. 
hartknoch a fait graver ce portrait, et l’a infere dam fa Chronique de la 
Pruffe. Notre original a ete compare fur le lieu avec celui du maufolee, et on 
a trouve les traits du vifage abfoiument les memes : mais l’habillement eft tres 
different.’ Celui de Thorn le reprefente devant I’autel en fon£lion de pretre.
