John of Holywood Johannes or Ioannes de Sacrobosco or Sacrobusco (John of Holywood) was the author of a handful of widely read medieval texts on mathematics and astronomy. Only the faintest sense of his life can be inferred; most details are speculation. Nearly all published details are, in fact, errors either invented, interpolated or propagated by commentators and authors from the Middle Ages, to eighteenth and nineteenth century antiquarians, to uncritical modern compilers. An 18th century sketch of a statue seen in Terregles church, reputed to be of John of Holywood. 'Revirosco' states that the statue was recovered from the abbey at the Reformation and taken for safekeeping to Terregles church. The statue is no longer there; it may have been removed when the oldest portion of the church was renovated for a family crypt in the late 19th century. For hundreds of years his name was a household word to any student of the liberal arts. The seven artes liberales included grammar, rhetoric and logic (the trivium ) and arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and music (the

Johannes de Sacrobosco Editions of the Tractatus de Sphaera Johannes de Sacrobosco's Tractatus de Sphaera was one of the most popular astronomical books of all times. Before the invention of the press, it was widely used in manuscript form. In the 15th century, shortly after the development of printing, it was one of the first scientific books to be published, in 1472. Afterwards, it underwent successive editions – more than 200, up to the 17th century. We present here the result of a preliminary survey of the editions and commentaries of the Tractatus de Sphaera that we have been able to find. Of course, this is not a complete list. It is a first step towards a full bibliography of published editions of Sacrobosco's famous work. There are also some later editions with a purely historical aim (such as Thorndike's edition). They are not listed here. There is an electronic version available (page by page) online at this address : http://www.ari.uni-heidelberg.de/publikationen/lal/lal00/fulltext/gif.c0000.htm .

Sacrobosco's De sphaera mundi (editio princeps 1472) was the first printed astronomical book, and a fundamental text of medieval and post-medieval astronomy. It is a synthesis of Ptolemy and his Arabic commentators, presenting an elegant, accessible Ptolemaic cosmology, and for this reason was adopted as the most authoritative astronomical textbook of its time. From the time of its composition, ca 1220, Sacrobosco's De sphaera 'enjoyed great renown, and from the middle of the thirteenth century it was taught in all the schools of Europe. In the sixteenth century it gained the attention of mathematicians, including Clavius. As late as the seventeenth century it was used as a basic astronomy text... ' (John F. Daly in DSB). It was the most frequently printed astronomical work, some 30 incunable editions alone being published, and an even greater number of sixteenth-century editions.

Books General Pages Home Index Johannes de Sacrobosco Sacrobosco (d. 1256?) is famous for his textbook De Sphaera (c. 1230) which explained the spherical geometry used by Ptolemy and his Islamic commentators and remained popular for four hundred years. It is thought he was born in England and taught at the University of Paris. Larger image (228K) Very large image (2.2M) Reliable information about the life of Johannes de Sacrobosco is scarce, and standard sources such as the Dictionary of Scientific Biography have unfortunately included as fact material deriving from the speculations and inventions of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century antiquarians. On the basis of a statement made in 1271 by his commentator Robertus Anglicus , he is believed to have been of English origin; his name is frequently anglicised as John of Holywood. At some time in the earlier part of the thirteenth century (according to a seventeenth-century account, it was June 5th 1221) he arrived in Paris and formed an association with the university there, although whether it was initially as an arts student or as a licentiate (one who, by virtue of having been made a master of arts at another university was already qualified to teach) is not clear. It is presumed that at some point he was enrolled as a regent master lecturing on mathematics and astronomy. After his death, which may have occurred in 1256, a memorial was constructed in the monastery of St. Mathurin, closely associated with the University of Paris. This was decorated with an astronomical instrument, perhaps an astrolabe, and a few lines of Latin verse which referred to Sacrobosco's
