Charles de Bovelles (Carolus Bovillus) (born c. 1475 at Saint-Quentin, died at Ham, Somme after 1566) was a French mathematician, and canon of Noyon. His ''Géométrie en françoys'' (1511) was the first scientific work to be printed in French. ==Life== Joseph Victor has written the best intellectual biography of Charles de Bovelles, but got the date of his death wrong. He studied arithmetic under Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples. His contemporaries knew him as widely travelled in Europe. It is known that he made a rebus for the year (1509) of the building of the ''hôtel de ville'' in Saint-Quentin. He gave a stained glass window in the town in 1521. In 1547, in the preface of ''La Geometrie practique'', Bovelles acknowledges help from Oronce Fine with the engravings. Maupin (end of nineteenth century) assigned dates 1470-1553, which confused many people subsequently. S. Musial in a careful study published in the Actes of the 500th centennial of his birth in Noyon in 1979 (published 1982) fixes the date of his death at 1567 (see also Margolin's Letters and Poems of Charles de Bovelles, 2002). 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「Charles de Bovelles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
