Abstract
Titius first published the law of planetary distances as an insertion into the main text of his German translation of Bonnet’s Contemplation de la Nature. Recently studied letters between Titius and Bonnet show that it was at Bonnet’s request that the second edition of the translation had this law (and other insertions) separated out as translator’s notes. It was this second edition that Bode read, taking the law as his own.
