Did Nicolaus Copernicus copy from earlier scholars if so How?

Yes, he did. He primarily copied direct work and answers from the books, and works of legendary Muslim scholars Al- Batani, Ar- Razi (Greek name: Rhazes), Al- Tusi, e.t.c. Copernicus's works were not as accurate as the Muslim scholars 200 years before him, therefore, he could not help but to copy from their works. I am not 100% sure if he cited his copying.
