Konstantinos Tzechanis ((アルバニア語:Kostë Xhehani), (ギリシア語:Κωνσταντίνος Τζεχάνης), (ラテン語:Constantinus Tzechani), 1740–1800) was a philosopher, mathematician and poet from the 18th century Aromanian center of Moscopole. ==Life== Tzechanis was born in Moscopole (now southeast Albania), an 18th-century cultural and commercial metropolis of the Balkans and center of Greek culture. His ethnicity is disputed, with various sources claiming that he is of Greek,〔 Albanian or Aromanian origin. Tzechanis initially studied in his home town with Theodore Kavalliotis being his teacher in the New Academy. He later attended lessons in Modra, today in Slovakia. At 1760, he moved together with his parents to Vienna, where his father became a merchant.〔Max Demeter Peyfuss.

Institute for Balkan Studies, 1973, p. 408.〕 Later in 1768–74 he went to Halle, then a city of the Kingdom of Prussia, to study literature and mathematics, and in 1776 he studied in the University of Cambridge. He also studied in Leipzig for three years and moved to several countries of Western Europe.〔Emanuel Turczynski. (Die deutsch-grieschischen Kulturbeziehungen bis zur Berufung König Ottos ). R. Oldenbourg, 1959, p. 174〕 He also lived in Wallachia, where he composed a satyrical poem.〔(''Südosteuropäische Arbeiten'' ), Volume 48. 1959, p. 85〕 In 1769 as a student he had written in Latin and Greek a treatise in geometry, the ''Introduction to Geometry: new theory of squaring the circle'', 1774 ((ギリシア語:Προγύμνασμα Γεωμετρικόν, ήτοι νέα θεωρία τετραγωνισμού του κύκλου)), in which he proposed a new theoretical solution to the problem of squaring the circle.〔 Tzechanis also gave to the Swedish linguist Johann Thunmann a copy of ''Protopireia'', one of the most significant works of Kavalliotis, he also assisted Thunmann on his works regarding the Albanian and the Aromanian languages.〔 During his stay in Leyden, Netherlands, Tzechanis composed two large poems in Greek, praising the local university on the one and the ancient Greek authors on the other.〔 In the 1770s, he wrote in Greek a biography of Skanderbeg, the national hero of Albania, based on Marin Barleti's biography.〔 He taught Latin, Greek and mathematics in Leiden University. His best known poetry work is ''Έπος ηρωελεγείον προς Αικατερίνην'' (Heroic Epic to Catherine II of Russia), a patriotic work that aimed at the national awakening of the Greek people that lived under Ottoman rule (1776), written in Latin and Ancient Greek and published in 1776.〔Title of the Latin version: ''Carmen heroico-elegiacum, quod temporis praesentis circumstantiarum effectum breviter expositis exponendis, humillime offert Anglis, Belgisque, philomusis generosissimis, ac studiosis nobilissimis''〕 He died at 1800 in Leyden .〔 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「Konstantinos Tzechanis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
