Old Map Of Corsica

Giovanni Antonio Magini (en latin, Maginus) (Padoue, 13 juin 1555 – Bologne, 11 février 1617) était un astronome, un astrologue, un cartographe, un mathématicien et un universitaire italien.
Magini a conçu sa propre théorie planétaire, la préférant aux autres existantes. Le système de Magini était composé de onze sphères tournantes, qu’il a décrites dans Novæ cœlestium orbium theoricæ congruentes cum observationibus N. Copernici (Venise, 1589).
Dans De Planis Triangulis (Venise, 1592), il s’est intéressé à l’utilisation des quadrants dans la topographie et à l’astronomie. En 1592, Magini a publié Tabula tetragonica et en 1606, il a conçu des tables trigonométriques extrêmement précises. Il a aussi travaillé sur la géométrie de la sphère et ses applications à la trigonométrie, pour lesquelles il a inventé des dispositifs calculateurs. Il a également travaillé sur le problème des miroirs et il a publié sur la théorie des miroirs sphériques concaves.

Giovanni Antonio Magini (in Latin, Maginus) (Padua, June 13, 1555 – Bologna, February 11, 1617) was an Italian astronomer, astrologer, cartographer, mathematician and academic. Magini designed his own planetary theory, preferring it to existing ones. Magini's system was composed of eleven rotating spheres, which he described in Novæ cœlestium orbium theoricæ congruentes cum observationibus N. Copernici (Venice, 1589). In De Planis Triangulis (Venice, 1592), he was interested in the use of quadrants in topography and in astronomy. In 1592, Magini published Tabula tetragonica and in 1606 he designed extremely precise trigonometric tables. He also worked on the geometry of the sphere and its applications to trigonometry, for which he invented calculating devices. He also worked on the mirror problem and published on the theory of concave spherical mirrors.
