Celio Calcagnini (Ferrara, 17 September 1479 – Ferrara, 24 April 1541), also known as Caelius Calcagninus, was an Italian humanist and scientist from Ferrara. His learning as displayed in his collected works is very broad. He had a wide experience: as soldier, academic, diplomat and in the chancery of Ippolito d'Este. He was consulted by Richard Croke on behalf of Henry VIII of England in the question of the latter's divorce.〔Quirinus Breen, "Celio Calcagnini (1479-1541)", ''Church History'', Vol. 21, No. 3 (September 1952), pp. 225-238.〕 He was a major influence on Rabelais's literary and linguistic ideas and is presumed to have met him in Italy, as well as being a teacher of Clément Marot〔Michael Andrew Screech, ''Rabelais''. p. 289, p. 378; Stanley G. Eskin, "Physis and Antiphysie: The Idea of Nature in Rabelais and Calcagnini", ''Comparative Literature'', Vol. 14, No. 2 (Spring, 1962), pp. 167-173.〕 and was praised by Erasmus.〔Peter G. Bietenholz, Thomas Brian Deutscher, ''Contemporaries of Erasmus: A Biographical Register of the Renaissance and Reformation'' (2003), p. 242.〕 Giovanni Battista Giraldi was a student of his, and succeeded him at the University of Ferrara. He had a contemporary reputation as an astronomer, and wrote on the rotation of the earth. He knew Copernicus in Ferrara at the beginning of the sixteenth century. His ''Quod Caelum Stet, Terra Moveatur'' is a precursor of the ''De Revolutionibus'' of Copernicus, though A. C. Crombie qualifies his rotational theory as "vague",〔A. C. Crombie, ''Medieval and Early Modern Science'' II (1959 edition), p. 166.〕 and is often dated to about 1525.〔R. J. Schoeck, ''The Geography of Erasmus'', p. 201, in Fokke Akkerman, Arie Johan Vanderjagt, A. H. Van Der Laan, ''Northern Humanism in European Context, 1469-1625: From the 'Adwert Academy' to Ubbo Emmius'' (1999).〕 ==Works== * (''Opera aliquot'' ) (1544) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Celio Calcagnini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
