Digges, Leonard (c.1520-c.1559) and Thomas (c.1545-1595)
English father and son who pioneered the construction of the telescope (Leonard) and its use (Thomas). Leonard Digges was educated at Oxford and made his name as a mathematician, s surveyor, and an author of several books. He invented a reflecting telescope a century before Isaac Newton, and may also have built a refracting telescope . However, he had little chance to use them. In 1554 he was sentenced to death for his part in a rebellion, and although this was commuted to seizure of his estates, he spent the rest of his life trying to regain his property. Thomas was only 13 when his father died but had John Dee, a mathematician, as his guardian. In 1571, Thomas published a mathematical work of his own and a posthumous book, Pantometria , by his father in which Leonard’s invention of the telescope is discussed. Thomas’s observations of the

Leonard Digges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Leonard Digges ), father of Thomas Digges was a well-known mathematician and surveyor, credited to the invention of the theodolite and a great populariser of science through his publications in English. In a way his son, Thomas Digges followed in his footsteps and was a pivotal player in the popularisation of Copernicus book De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium The first publication of many by Leonard Digges was A General Prognostication published in , which became a best-seller as it contained a perpetual calendar, collections of weather lore and a wealth of astronomical material, until then largely only obtainable through books published in Latin or Greek. Leonard Digges is also independently invented the reflecting , and probably the refracting telescope as part of his need to see accurately over long distances during his surveying works. In , Leonard Digges took part in an unsuccessful rebellion led by the Protestant Sir Thomas Wyatt against England's new Catholic Queen Mary who took over the throne in from her father Henry VIII . Digges was condemned to death, but escaped capital punishment, instead forfeiting all his estates.

... Bibliography Thomas Digges (C. 1546-1595) Thomas Digges was born circa 1546-about three years after the publication of De Revolutionibus . He was the son of the mathematician and scientist Leonard Digges, and a protege of John Dee, the preeminent scientist in England during the latter part of the sixteenth century. By 1573, when he was only twenty seven, Thomas Digges' reputation as an astronomer was firmly established in England and on the continent with the publication of his work related to the super-nova that had appeared the previous year. In 1576 he took it upon himself to edit the new edition of his deceased father's almanac, A Prognostication everlasting . Digges added A Perfit Description to this edition, which was reprinted at least six times, making Thomas' humble addendum to his father Leonard's very practical work the most influential argument for the Copernican system in England. A Perfit Description is, to a large extent, a paraphrased translation of the first book of Copernicus'

Did the reflecting telescope have English origins?
Optics Group help with research The photograph below, taken on the roof of the Physics Department, appeared in The Times of 18 August, illustrating an article by the newspaper's Technology Correspondent on the replica of an Elizabethan telescope which was recently built in the physics Department by Colin Ronan, seen testing the device. The crude telescope would have enabled English commanders to sight Spanish galleons, and given Elizabethan astronomers unrivalled glimpses of the moon and stars. It was the subject of the BBC television programme, " The Sky at Night ", broadcast on 16 August. Colin Ronan is an historian of science and author of several works on astronomy. He was President of the British Astronomical Association in 1989-91. In his second presidential address lay years, he put forward the claim that the credit for the invention of the reflecting telescope should go to Leonard Digges, an English mathematician and surveyor, whose device predates rival Dutch claims of 1608 by over thirty years. After giving a talk on the subject to the Optics Section of the Physics Department last May, Mr Ronan was invited by Professor Dainty to use the facilities of the section to construct a replica of Digges's telescope.

http://www.actionoptics.co.uk/The first telescope.htm
The first telescope? A perfit defcription of the Caeleftiall Orbes, according to the most auncient doctrine of the Pythagoreans. This was how Thomas Digges introduced his 1576 diagram of the planatary orbits. This is taken from an article in a newspaper dated Thursday October 31 1991 written by Adrian Berry Science Correspondent. I would be greatful if someone can tell me which newspaper. Now it can be told: British scientists beat Galileo by 33 years By Adrian Berry Science Correspondent. The first star-gazing telescope was invented by two British scientists during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, more than 30 years earlier than hitherto believed, a scientist historian said last night. The discovery was probably kept secret for military reasons – “ the 16 th century equivalent to a D-notice” - said Mr Colin Ronan in his presidential address to the British Astronomical Association. The two inventors, who dabbled in many branches of sciences, were Leonard Digges, who died in 1571, and his son Thomas, who died in 1595. Leonard worked out the principles of the reflecting telescope and Thomas later used it to observe stars invisible to the naked eye. The proof of this, Mr Ronan said, was a diagram that Thomas Digges drew in 1576 showing planetary orbits round the Sun as described by Copernicus 40 years before, surrounded by pictures of what he called “this orbe of stares fixed infinitely…..with perpetuall shininge glorious lightes innumerable”.

Abstract
Some four hundred years ago was the fascinating era when modern astronomy began. Its ``beginning" came with the establishment of the heliocentric universe in people's minds. From Nicolaus Copernicus, through Thomas Digges, to Giordano Bruno we can trace how the Copernican system progressed to the idea of an infinite universe, and how this gave birth to a new tradition in thinking about the plurality of worlds. While this progression does not appear to have been by direct encounter between the principal players, the vision of one was incorporated into the thought of the next. Such progression in our understanding of the universe continues today and presumably tomorrow. Bibtex entry for this abstract Preferred format for this abstract (see Preferences)
