Georg Peurbach Born: 30 May 1423 in Peuerbach, Austria Died: 8 April 1461 in Vienna, Austria Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Georg Peurbach studied at Vienna, graduating in 1446. In 1453 he was awarded a Master's Degree then travelled through Europe and lectured in Germany, France and Italy on astronomy. He was appointed court astronomer by King Ladislaus of Hungary in 1454. Peurbach was served as professor of astronomy at the University of Vienna. Peurbach wrote on astronomy and gave tables of eclipse calculations in Tabulae Ecclipsium. He observed Halley's comet in June 1456 and wrote a report on his observations. He made further observations of comets and, together with Regiomontanus , recorded the lunar eclipse of 3 September 1457 from a site near Vienna. Peurbach published further tables, checked by his own eclipse observations, and devised astronomical instruments. In Theoricae Novae Planetarum Peurbach gave Ptolemy 's epicycle theory of the planets. Peurbach believed that the planets were in solid crystalline spheres although he believed that their motions were controlled by the Sun. He also constructed a large globe which depicted the stars.

Journeys over Land and Sea Journeys of the Mind Journeys of the Imagination Journeys of the Mind: Explaining the Heavens Early attempts to explain the arrangement and movement of the planets challenged accepted religious dogma and led to advances in astronomy, meteorology, and astrophysics with great practical application. John Rand Capron (1829-1888) Auroræ: Their Characters and Spectra Gift of the Burndy Library Early voyagers to the polar regions often saw the northern lights, a remarkable luminous display that some considered to be mists emanating from the earth. Capron was one of the first scientists to discuss the chemical and physical nature of the phenomenon. By the 1950s, it was accepted that the northern lights are caused by the interaction of high-energy electrons from the Sun with atoms in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Astronomical Tables General Pages Home Index Regiomontanus Regiomontanus (1436-1476) was born in Konigsberg and educated at Leipzig and Vienna. He sought to restore astronomy, dissatisfied as he was with the inadequate translation of ancient works and the disparities he found between theory and observation. His Epitome of the Almagest was published in 1496. Frontispiece of Regiomontanus' Epitome of the Almagest depicting Ptolemy and Regiomontanus sitting beneath an armillary sphere.

This work was finished by 1463, and printed as the Epitome of the Almagest in 1496; it was later used by such astronomers as Copernicus and Galileo In Vienna, Regiomontanus had been an avid hunter, copyist, and reader of manuscripts on mathematical and astronomical subjects. After Peurbach's death, he went with Bessarion to Rome, and accompanied him on various travels around Italy. Association with the Cardinal, a native of Trebizond in Turkey and a great patron of humanist scholarship, gave Regiomontanus access to other texts, and the opportunity for him to become fluent in Greek. On several occasions, he was to forcefully express his opinion about the inadequacy of translations of Greek works, including Ptolemy's

Index Regiomontanus and Books When he moved to Nuremberg in 1571, Regiomontanus embarked, as part of his strategy for the reformation of astronomy, on a program of publication. The first work issued by his press was the Theoricae novae planetarum of his former master Georg Peurbach, which rapidly became one of the standard texts of university courses in astronomy. This was followed by the Astronomica of Marcus Manilius, his calendars in Latin and German for 1475-1531, and almanacs for 1485-1506. In 1474, he published a broadside tradelist naming both the books he had already printed and those he still intended to produce. Works by Ptolemy , Euclid, Theon of Alexandria, Archimedes, and Witelo were among those listed, as were many new translations, commentaries and treatises by Regiomontanus himself. Criticism of the lack of respect this list revealed for other authors and translators prompted him, in his pamphlet Disputationes contra Cremonensia in planetarum theoricas delyramenta (or Arguments against the nonsense in the Theorica planetarum of [Gerard of] Cremona), to deliver a trenchant defence of the necessity of emending and improving upon existing texts:

K¶nigsberg. His original name was Johannes M¼ller. In 1461 he went to Rome with Cardinal Bessarion and learned Greek in order to translate Greek writings. In 1468 he was called to the court of the king of Hungary to make a collection of Greek manuscripts, and three years later he settled at Nuremberg, where, with his pupil and patron, Bernhard Walther, he established an observatory and a printing press. Among other works they published the Ephemerides for the years 1474–1506, calculated by Regiomontanus, and Georg von Purbach's Theoricae planetarum novae. Summoned by Pope Sixtus IV, Regiomontanus went to Rome in 1475 to assist in reforming the calendar and was made bishop of Regensburg. He died in Rome. He made improved instruments, both mathematical and astronomical, introduced algebra into Germany, and did much to further trigonometry.

Copernican System By: Albert Van Helden Summary: A module on Nicholas Copernicus and his view of the universe. Figure 1: Copernicus The first speculations about the possibility of the Sun being the center of the cosmos and the Earth being one of the planets going around it go back to the third century BCE. In his Sand-Reckoner , Archimedes (d. 212 BCE), discusses how to express very large numbers. As an example he chooses the question as to how many grains of sand there are in the cosmos. And in order to make the problem more difficult, he chooses not the geocentric cosmos generally accepted at the time, but the heliocentric cosmos proposed by Aristarchus of Samos (ca. 310-230 BCE), which would have to be many times larger because of the lack of observable stellar parallax. We know, therefore, that already in Hellenistic times thinkers were at least toying with this notion, and because of its mention in Archimedes's book Aristarchus's speculation was well-known in Europe beginning in the High Middle Ages but not seriously entertained until Copernicus. Figure 2: Copernicus European learning was based on the Greek sources that had been passed down, and cosmological and astronomical thought were based on Aristotle and
