  • "The popular belief that Copernicus's heliocentric system constitutes a significant simplification of the Ptolemaic system is obviously wrong ... [T]he Copernican models themselves require about twice as many circles as the Ptolemaic models and are far less elegant and adaptable." Neugebauer, Otto (1969). The Exact Sciences in Antiquity 2 ed. [S.l.]: Dover Publications. ISBN 978-0-486-22332-2 , p. 204. This is an extreme estimate in favor of Ptolemy.
