Georg von Peuerbach's \textit{Theoricae novae planetarum} is one of the fundamental contributions of pre-Copernican astronomy. Written in 1454, it was published by Regiomontanus in 1472 and was to have a broad diffusion up to the middle of the 17th century.NEWLINENEWLINEThe paper under review shows that a preliminary study of the manuscripts through which this work has been transmitted reveals the existence of some unknown copies which shed new light on the early and more genuine diffusion of the \textit{Theoricae novae planetarum}. In particular, this paper presents manuscripts which can be traced back directly to von Peuerbach and which were realized thanks to his own efforts, and gives an insight into the critical edition and commentary of von Peuerbach's work by the author of this article [Les \textit{Theoricae novae planetarum} de Georg Peurbach: édition critique, traduction française et commentaire.
