Erasmus Oswald Schreckenfuchs (1511–1579) was an Austrian humanist, astronomer and Hebraist. ==Life== He was born in Merckenstein, near Bad Vöslau in Lower Austria, and studied in Vienna, Ingolstadt and Tübingen. He became a student and friend of Sebastian Münster. Together they translated (into Latin) the Form of the Earth of Abraham bar Hiyya, with work of Elijah ben Abraham Mizrahi.〔http://jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=449&letter=A〕〔 http://jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?letter=M&artid=675〕 He taught at Freiburg, where the Maltese mathematician Joannes Myriti was a student.〔 http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.geocities.com/melitahistoricac/CC07.htm&date=2009-10-26+02:30:06〕 In 1551 he produced a commentary to the ''Almagest'' of Ptolemy.〔Florian Cajori, ''A History of Mathematical Notations: Two Volumes Bound as One'' (1993 edition), p. 251.〕 He published a ''targum'' for the ''Song of Solomon'' and ''Ecclesiastes'' (1553).〔''Cantica canticorum et Ecclesiastes Salomonis paraphrasticos''〕〔http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1047&context=classicsfacpub, p. 12.〕 His ''Commentaries on George Peurbach's New Theories of the Planets'' of 1556 were voluminous and broad-minded, considering an eclectic mix of astronomical theories, including those of Copernicus. The approach, however, was little concerned with scientific truth. Schreckenfuchs taught at Nuremberg, and found a follower in Christian Wursteisen.〔Pierre Duhem, ''Sauver les apparences: Essai sur la notion de théorie physique de Platon à Galilée'' (2004 edition), pp. 103-6.〕 Other works were ''Primum mobile'' (Basel, 1567), and a commentary on the ''De sphaera'' of Johannes de Sacrobosco of 1569.〔http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/starry/sacrobooks.html〕 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「Erasmus Oswald Schreckenfuchs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
