ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Leonard Digges (1520 to1559), father of Thomas Digges, was a well-known English mathematician and surveyor, credited with the inventions of the telescope and theodolite, and a great popularizer of science through his publications in English. In a way, his son followed in his footsteps and was a pivotal player in the popularization of Copernicus's book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. The first publication of many by Leonard Digges was A General Prognostication published in 1553, which became a best-seller as it contained a perpetual calendar, collections of weather lore and a wealth of astronomical material, until then largely only obtainable through books published in Latin or Greek. It was revised in 1555 (the earliest surviving edition) and again in 1556 with the title A Prognostication everlasting. Subsequent editions reprint the text from 1556; editions from 1576 and later include additional material by his son. Title page of Leonard Digges's Pantometria (1591) ; Leonard Digges is also sometimes credited with independently inventing the reflecting, and probably the refracting telescope as part of his need to see accurately over long distances during his surveying works. In the preface to the 1591 Pantometria, (a book on measurement, partially based on his father's notes and observations) Leonard's son Thomas lauded his father's accomplishments. Some of the praise of the son for the father appears to be extravagant exaggeration, while other claims appear more credible. In 1554, Leonard Digges took part in an unsuccessful rebellion led by the Protestant Sir Thomas Wyatt against England's new Catholic Queen Mary who took over the throne in 1553 from her father Henry VIII. Digges was condemned to death, but escaped capital punishment, instead forfeiting all his estates. TEXT IS IN OLD ENGLISH. 112 pages, illustrated with astronomical drawings and charts. Limited edition of 150 copies. Book.
