Extractions: Personalities Tour (Next) Previous Sacrobosco Tour (Next) Sacrobosco Pages General Pages Home Index 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

Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page John of Holywood or Johannes de Sacrobosco was educated at Oxford. He became a canon of the Order of St Augustine at the monastery of Holywood in Nithsdale. In 1220 Sacrobosco went to study in Paris. Although almost all dates for Sacrobosco are guesses we do know one date precisely for, on 5 June 1221, he was appointed a teacher at the University of Paris. Soon after this he became professor of mathematics at Paris. Sacrobosco promoted Arabic methods of arithmetic and algebra in his teachings. In De Algorismo he discusses calculating with positive integers. The work contains 11 chapters, one each on topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots and cube roots. In 1220 Sacrobosco wrote Tractatus de Sphaera a book on astronomy in four chapters. The first chapter deals with the shape and place of the Earth within a spherical universe. The second chapter deals with various circles on the shy. The third chapter describes rising and setting of heavenly bodies from different geographical locations while the fourth chapter gives a brief introduction to Ptolemy 's theory of the planets and of eclipses.
K's Origami : History Of Origami We can recognize a picture in the 1490 edition of Tractatus de Sphaera Mundi, whichwas written by Johannes de Sacrobosco (john of holywood) in 13th century http://www.jade.dti.ne.jp/~hatori/library/historye.html
Extractions: We know very little about the origin of origami. Some say origami originated in China around 2000 years ago. But it is probably wrong. This opinion is based on the conjecture that origami started right after the invention of paper, for which we have no evidence. The paper of Former Han dynasty shows no trace of origami. The Chinese character for paper, zhi, originally stood for writing material made of silk. The origin of the Japanese word for paper, kami, is said to be birch tree, kaba, or strips of wood or bamboo, kan. Both of them were also writing material. These suggest that paper was primarily writing material, not folding. Others say origami originated from Japan in Heian era. Again, it is probably wrong. They refer to a story of Abe-no Seimei who made a paper bird and turned it to a real one, or another story about Fujiwara-no Kiyosuke who sent his ex-girlfriend a fake frog. There is no reason, however, for believing that they folded paper to make them. In Japan, we use wrapping paper called tatogami or tato. Today we mainly wrap kimono with it. It actually dates back to Heian era. But it is by no means an example of origami, since it is folded just squarely.

The Memorias were produced by Leonor Lpez de Crdoba, a member of the losing side in the dynastic wars of late fourteenth-century Castile. They give an account of her experiences and her struggle to recover a portion of her social prominence. The article studies in depth the narrative devices used, the resultant structure and the importance of both for a historiographical consideration of the text.

A study of the use of Latin words for comic purposes in Golden Age Spanish comedias, with a main focus on Marta la Piadosa by Tirso de Molina. The interplay between romance (Spanish) and Latin allows for the development of puns and double entendres and, ultimately, shapes the way in which the characters are perceived whilst giving an insight into the sort of audience that such verbal devices were aiming at.
