Eustachio Manfredi (20 September 1674 – 15 February 1739) was an Italian mathematician, astronomer and poet. ==Biography== Eustachio Manfredi was born in Bologna on 20 September 1674. He attended Jesuit school, then studied at the University of Bologna, graduating with a degree in law in 1691. At the same time he devoted himself to scientific studies in mathematics and astronomy, and to literature. Manfredi founded the ''Academy degli Inquieti'' in Bologna around 1690 as a place where scientific topics could be discussed. At first, the Academy held its meetings in Manfredi's house. After four years it moved to Jacopo Sandri's house, which had more space, and in 1705 moved again to the palazzo of Conte Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli. The ''Accademia delle Scienze dell'Istituto di Bologna'' was formally inaugurated in 1714, and the ''Accademia degli Inquieti'' merged into it. In 1698 Manfredi obtained the chair of mathematics at the University of Bologna. In 1704 he was named "Superintendent of the waters of Bologna", and was also made head of the college of Montalto, which educated young men destined for a clerical career. In 1711 he became director of the Astronomical Observatory of Bologna, a position he held until his death. He was a member of the French Academy of Sciences in Paris from 1726 and of the Royal Society of London from 1729. He died in Bologna on 15 February 1739. 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「Eustachio Manfredi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
