- ↑ The auldest kent portrait o Copernicus is that on Strasbourg astronomical clock, made bi Tobias Stimmer c. 1571–4. Accordin tae the inscription next tae the portrait, it wis made frae a sel-portrait bi Copernicus himsel. This has led tae speculation that the Torun portrait mey be a copy based on the same sel-portrait, but its provenance is unkent.
