Nicolaus Copernicus. De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. Norimbergae: Ioh. Petreium, 1543.

Lehman invoked a “revolutionary” and “beloved” Cornell in his inaugural address. He began his speech with a reference to Copernicus's Revolutions, a copy of which (given by Andrew Dickson White) resides in the History of Science Collections, Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Carl A. Kroch Library.
