Campanus of Novara Born: 1220 in Novara, Italy Died: 1296 in Viterbo, Italy Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Johannes Campanus was chaplain to Pope Urban IV and quoted by Bacon as one of the four greatest contemporary mathematicians. He published a Latin edition of Euclid 's Elements in 15 books and it was the standard Euclid for 200 years. Most of Campanus's other writings were on astronomy. He wrote Theorica Planetarum which describes the construction of a planetarium, the first to be described by a European. The work also contains detailed descriptions of the longitude of the planets as well as a geometrical description of the motion of the model. Data for the planets was taken from the Almagest and from the Toledan Tables edited by the Arabian astronomer Azarquiel in 1080 based on his own work and that of al-Khwarizmi and al-Battani . Campanus determined the time of each planet's retrograde motion and gave precise instructions on using the tables. He also made calculations in great detail of the distances to the planets and their sizes. Campanus also wrote Tractatus de Sphaera as well as De Computo Ecclesiastico and Calendarium.

Home Medieval Context Geometry Cathedrals Geometry T hough the field of geometry was kept alive in the early Middle Ages, its study received a great boost with new Latin translations of Arabic renditions of Euclid's Elements . These translations of Euclid began with Adelard of Bath around 1140 and continued into the thirteenth century and beyond with the work of such scholars as Campanus of Novara around 1260.

6 - The curriculum of astronomical studies in the Statute of 1405. The oldest Statutes of the that have come down to us date from 1405. They contain a detailed programme for the teaching of Astronomy which reads as follows: "During the first year of the astronomy course the Algorismi de minutis et integris (Algorithms) are read, after which the first book of Euclid’s geometry is read, with the commentary of Campanus. When this latter is read the Tabulae Alphonsinae with the Canons is read. After which the Theorica Planetarum (Planetary Theory) is read. During the second year the Tractatus de Sphera is read for first, after which the Canons for the use of the geometric tables are read. Once these are read the treatise on the astrolabe of Messehallah is read. During the third year Alcabitius is read for first, after which the Centiloquium of Ptolemy with the commentary by Haly is read. After which the third book of Geometry is read, after which the Tractatus Quadrantis (Treatise on the Quadrant) is read. During the fourth year all the Quadripartitus is read for first, after which the book De urina non visa (On urines unseen) is read. After which the third edition of the Almagest is read." The first thing to note about this programme, clearly addressed to the students of Medicine, is the coordination between the mathematics, astronomy-mathematics and astrology parts.

Abstract. In 1967 lecture at Yale Architecture School Anne Tyng discussed integrating of the five Pythagorean solids into a single shape and suggested the shape as an architectural solid. Christopher Glass aim is to sphere the cube in the manner of Buckminster Fuller, but with reference not only to the engineering models he uses but to the cultural models of the Pythagorean proportions as well. The author has developed computer models of the resulting plan at least two scales: the original glass house and a smaller hermitage pod. The Pythagopod Christopher Glass, Architect 38 Chestnut Street Camden, ME 04843-2210 USA I n the fall of 1966 or 1967 I was at the Yale School of Architecture and heard a presentation by Anne Tyng, Louis Kahn's associate, about the five Platonic solids and the ways they could be made to interrelate. The lecture has stayed with me over the years. At the time Buckminster Fuller had just built the American Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal, Steve Baer was working with "Zomes" at Drop City in Colorado, and, in general, traditional architecture had been under assault from Archigram and Ant Farm and other radical modernists. Kahn had designed his proposal for Philadelphia City Hall as a tetrahedral space frame. Traditional building seemed obsolete. Over the years I played with the shapes at various scales, designing a "drafting pod" module and a small meditation house - neither taken further than the drawing board. Then a Japanese magazine invited Philip Johnson to judge a contest for a new Glass House, and I used the contest as an occasion to design a one-bedroom house plan on the order of Johnson's in the module. The contest entry sank without a trace, but I have put the ideas together for this article.
