Jan of Stobnica
Jan of Stobnica (ca. 1470 - 1530), was a Polish philosopher, scientist and geographer of the early 16th century.
==Life==
He was educated at the Jagiellonian University (Kraków Academy), where he taught as professor between 1498 and 1514. He is the author of numerous works on the subjects of logic, grammar, astronomy, geography, mathematics, music, natural sciences, and ethics.
Jan of Stobnica was one of Kraków's adherents of Scotism, a philosophical school brought in from Paris first by Michał Twaróg of Bystrzyków (ca. 1450 - 1520). Jan of Stobnica became Michał's most prominent student.〔Władysław Tatarkiewicz, ''Zarys dziejów filozofii w Polsce'' (A Brief History of Philosophy in Poland), (the series: ) Historia nauki polskiej w monografiach (''History of Polish Learning in Monographs''), () XXXII, Kraków, Polska Akademia Umiejętności (Polish Academy of Learning), 1948, pp. 6–7. This monograph draws from pertinent sections in earlier editions of the author's ''Historia filozofii'' (History of Philosophy).〕 Jan's most famous work, entitled ''"Introductio in Ptholomei Cosmographiam"'' (''Introduction to the Cosmography of Ptolemy'') featured some of the first maps printed in Poland. Likewise, his edition of Ptolemy first contained a map of North and South America showing the connection of the two continents by an isthmus. It is one of the oldest known references to North America with the Gulf of Mexico delimited by the peninsula of Florida, peculiarly labeled "Isa-bella" (see engraving), which corresponds to the name of Cuba in primitive times, which in fact he left it blank.〔Piotr Stefan Wandycz, ( ''The United States and Poland'' ), Harvard University Press, p. 33.〕 ''"Cosmographiam"'' by Jan of Stobnica, from 1512, are among some of the most precious Polonica of the New York Public Library holdings.
