Nicolas Fabri de Peiresc,astronomer
Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637),French astronomer. Peiresc was born into a wealthy family at Aix-en-Provence. He studied at Toulon and Montpellier,graduating in law in 1605. Peiresc was a noted intellectual who corresponded with most of the great thinkers of the age. His own work was diverse,making important contributions to history,geography,egyptology,ecology and zoology. In 1610 his patron purchased a telescope and Peiresc used it to make observations of Jupiter's moons. In the same year he discovered the Orion Nebula. He coordinated observations of a lunar eclipse in 1635,and from the readings made accurate determinations of longitude. This engraving comes from Gassendi's biography of Pieresc published in 1651
