Tycho Brahe: A picture of scientific life and work in the sixteenth century

Visible to anyone in the world
I've spent the morning following up all the references to the Opera Omnia that I found in the papers I've been reading and in A History of Magic and Experimental Science. Google Translate is remarkedly helpful as a quick and dirty tool to get a quick, skim read of content. Some of the areas I followed up weren't actually useful for the idea I currently have floating around in my head. Some subject areas are far too complicated. I mean, 15 volumes of Latin is enough to keep one academic busy for a couple of lives and a dozen PhDs.
My next task is to read through Dreyer's biography of Tycho: Tycho Brahe: A picture of scientific life and work in the sixteenth century (another book from the Internet Archive, I was not happy when that site was hacked) as I read that it gives a good overview of the Opera Omnia.
