What Wikipedia does not want you to know (by deleting the largest most important part of the history of the Nicolaus Copernicus Gesamtausgabe), see following section:

In the 19th century, Leopold Friedrich Prowe of Thorn, Prussia^[1] had already compiled a comprehensive biography and other works, using the archives of the places in Prussia where Copernicus had lived before Prowe. In 1943, for the 400th anniversary of his death, it had been planned to compile a Gesamtausgabe, in 9 volumes, the last two focussing on a new biography. Production of the compendium after volume 2 was published in 1949. Publication resumed in the 1970s, and then gained international momentum in the 1990s after the end of the Cold War allowed access to archives.
