"Renaissance science and medicine were deeply influenced by three figures of the sixteenth century and three others from antiquity. The first three were Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543), Andreas Vesalius, and Philliptus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, called Paracelsus - the last three Archimedes, Galen, and Ptolemy."
