Nicholas of Lynn
Nicholas of Lynn or Lynne, also known in Latin as Nicolas de Linna was an English astronomer of the 14th century.
==Life==
He was apparently born in the Norfolk (UK) port town of King's Lynn (then "Bishop's Lynn"), possibly as early as 1330, although the confirmed details of his career suggest that a date closer to 1360 is more likely. According to early 16th century literary historian John Bale, he became a Carmelite friar and moved to the university town of Oxford, where he developed a great reputation for his scientific work. In 1386, at the request of the powerful lord John of Gaunt, he published a ''Kalendarium'' of detailed astronomical tables. Designed for use in the astrologically-based science of the time, these were very sophisticated, even including rules for synchronising medical treatment with astronomical cycles—-for example, the right phases of the moon for blood-letting. His contemporary Geoffrey Chaucer wrote very approvingly of Nicholas' work, and made much use of it. Nicholas was also supposedly an excellent musician. Later in life he moved to Cambridge, where he was promoted to deacon in 1411.
