The controversy involves two debates. The first debate is over whether he was Polish or German. The second debate is over whether the language of this question, and the two answers it suggests, is meaningful and appropriate to Copernicus' times, or only to the present time; in other words, did the words "nationality," "Polish," and "German" mean the same thing to Copernicus and his contemporaries as they mean to us, or something else?
