mer, was born at Dantzi the year 1611. He ftudied: 
mathematics with great aii, but he chiefly devoted him- 
felf to PNT. purfuits, and built an obfervatory for the 
purpofe of making accurate obfervations, which he did with 
inftruments of his own conftruction; the refult of thefe was 
publifhed in 1647 under the title of « Seleno graphia,”” or a 
Defcription of the Moon, to which he added the Phas of the 
“plan ts, as obferved by the telefcope. F as author 
of many valuable difcoveries in the heavens. — rft ob- 
ferved the libration of the moon, and difcovered feveral 
fixed flars, which he named “ The firmament of Sobie fici,”” 
in honour of John III. king of Poland. drew up a 
large catalogue of the ftars, and collected man of the un- 
rmed ones into new conttellations of his own formation. 
In making his obfaeetoce le received much important 
affiftance from his wife, who, under his inftru€tions, had be-
