Christophe Clavius le jésuite qui subtilisa 10 jours ! Sans entrer dans le débat, commémorons ici le jésuite qui est considéré comme le responsable du calendrier actuel : le Père Christopher Clavius. Sollicité par le Concile de Trente, Grégoire XIII entreprit en 1579 la réforme du calendrier adopté en 1578. Le Pape Grégoire fit installer à l'endroit le plus élevé du Vatican la Tour des Vents, un observatoire où des jésuites sous la direction du Père Clavius furent appelés à faire des recherches qui pourraient servir de base à la réforme du calendrier. Le Père Clavius, né en Bavière en 1538, était un éminent mathématicien professeur au Collège Romain, lorsque le Pape demanda ses services au Vatican. En 1580 les propositions de Clavius étaient prêtes, mais leur mise en vigueur fut retardée jusqu'à la signature par le Pape du décret qui stipulait que le 4 octobre 1582, fête de S. François d'Assise serait suivi du 15 octobre, supprimant ainsi dix jours du calendrier. C'est pourquoi il est dit que S. Thérèse d'Avila est morte "dans la nuit du 4 au 15 octobre 1582" !

28. Scene 2 christopher clavius, the Church’s greatest astronomer, is examining theskies with Galileo’s telescope while Galileo waits in another room. http://www.nd.edu/~tbarkes/galileoscene5.html

Scene 5. Clavius’ Judgement Rome, 1616. Galileo has been summoned to Rome to discuss his "proof" with scholars at the Vatican. Christopher Clavius, the Church’s greatest astronomer, is examining the skies with Galileo’s telescope while Galileo waits in another room. As he waits, two monks ridicule the notion that the earth is spinning andthey feign as thought they have lost physical control owing to the newly discovered forces of nature. A Cardinal is much less light-hearted as condemns Galileo’s ideas, a lesser astronomer calls the telescope the "devil’s own tube." The Cardinal has become so excited that he faints. All are surprised (except the Cardinal who is unaware of the pronouncement) when Father Clavius declares Galileo correct, but the scene ends ominously with the introduction of the Cardinal Inquisitor.

30. On Time: Today's Calendar And The Jesuits Looking back reveals a struggle for our current calendar s acceptance and thestory of christopher clavius, a sixteenthcentury Jesuit who worked hard to http://www.companymagazine.org/v172/ontime.html

Today's calendar owes a debt to a Jesuit by David Duncan Today almost everyone takes the precision of our calendar for granted, unaware of the long threads spooling out from our clocks and watches backward in time, running through virtually every major revolution in human sciences, all linked to the measurement of time. Looking back reveals a struggle for our current calendar's acceptance and the story of Christopher Clavius, a sixteenth-century Jesuit who worked hard to create and defend it, only to have his name forgotten over those years that he helped to fix. The fix was needed because of an error in the original calendar established by Julius Caesar in 45 bc, who mistimed his year so that it ran eleven minutes shorta deficit that accumulated gradually over the centuries. Eventually, the calendar fell back several days against the true astronomic yeara glitch first discovered three centuries before Clavius, when a sickly English friar named Roger Bacon dispatched a strident missive to Rome. Addressed to Pope Clement IV, it was an urgent appeal to set right time itself. Calculating that the calendar was losing an entire day every 125 years, Roger Bacon informed the supreme pontiff that there was a surplus of time that over the centuries had accumulated to nine days. He declared that this drift, if left unchecked, would eventually shift March to the dead of winter and August to the spring.

However, he taught himself mathematics and astronomy, and in time became an accomplished inventor and maker of scientific instruments. He was also a keen disciple of Newtonon whose physics he gave public lecturesas well as a considerable philosopher of language. Martin published many books on these various subjects, but his chief ambition as a writer was nothing less than to provide a synopsis of all scientific and philosophical knowledge in a grand fourteen-volume series. Martin only ever completed five of these projected booktwo on philology, two on mathematics, and the Biographia Philosophica This rare little encyclopaedia contains entries detailing the lives and works of 157 people, from Thales and Euclid in antiquity to Sir Isaac Newton and Dr Nicholas Saunderson in Martin's own century. Typically, an entry will begin with biographical information and then move on to a critical assessment of its subject's work, 'digested according to the Order of Time in which they lived'. Sometimes, a bibliography is given in conclusion. As was usual in his era, Martin construed the term 'philosophy' broadly enough to include the sciences as well as abstract thought.

Christopher J. Corbally, S.J. Vice Director of the Vatican Observatory for VORG Tel: E-Mail: ccorbally@as.arizona.edu Corbally, born near London on Jan. 24, 1946, spent much of his childhood in Wool, Dorset, 45 miles south of Stonehenge. He completed his bachelor of science degree in physics with honors at Bristol University in 1971, his master of science in astronomy at the University of Sussex (Brighton) in 1972 and his doctorate in astronomy at the University of Toronto (Canada) in 1983. His dissertation was a study on the evolutionary status of close visual binary stars as shown by classification of their spectra. His research interests, in addition to multiple star systems, include stellar spectral classification, peculiar and metal-weak stars, galactic structure and telescope technology. Corbally completed the licentiate in philosophy at Heythrop College, Oxfordshire, in 1968, a bachelor's degree in theology with honors from Heythrop College, University of London, in 1976, and a diploma in pastoral theology from Heythrop College, London, in 1977. He entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1963 and was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1976. He has been a research astronomer of the Vatican Observatory, Vatican City State, since 1983, and is currently its Vice Director for VORG. He was Dean of the Vatican Observatory Summer School at Castel Gandolfo, Italy, in 1988, 1990, and 1999.
