Although this system is attributed to Johannes Campanus, a prominent 13th century mathematician, it was used by Al-Biruni in the 11th century under the name 'the system of Hermes', suggesting a much earlier, unknown origin.
In 1985 it was claimed to be the most preferred system in England after Placidus ([5]) and it was greatly endorsed by Dane Rudhyar who saw it as an ideal approach to 'person-centered' astrology because of the acknowledgement that it gave to 'the space at the centre of which the individual stands'.
Although it found popularity later than Campanus, it is also known to have been used in the 11th century ([8]) and in all likelihood developed along principles entirely of its own.

Johannes Campanus, chaplain to the 13th century Pope Urban IV, was a noted mathematician.
For instance, being so close to the land, it would be conceivably accurate for him to have very large 2nd and 8th houses as he struggles to make a living, which would be much more important to him than social entertainment or creative activities (very small 5th and 11th houses).
The Regiomantus system was devised by a 14th century professor of astronomy, Johannes Muller, and was meant to be an improvement on the Campanus system.

 Dipple, Oct. 99
Like the Campanus letter, this work came to light in the midst of the Strasbourg debates; it was published in Strasbourg in September 1531, although it may have been at press for up to a year before that.
Franck was probably directly involved in the process of typesetting and printing this work, and therefore the opinions expressed in it likely reflect his responses to happenings in Strasbourg in the second half of 1530 and first half of 1531.
But both the Campanus letter and The Chronicle of Heretics suggest that on the crucial themes of Franck's own ecclesiology and his criticisms of other churches the dialogue was directed at least as much at the Anabaptists as at the magisterial Reformers.

The major pitfall of this method is that the medium coeli, of great importance in the chart, is usually 'off' from where it would be with other systems.

This system is based on space, using the equator as the horizon, and dividing it into 12 equal parts.

It is the fourth edition of this work, only preceeded by the edtio princeps, edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus, printed in 1470-71 at Rome by Ulrich Hahn; the Strassbourg edition by the R-printer (=Adolph Rusch), after 1471 and the edition by Sweynheym and Pannartz printed in 1473 at Rome.
The edition is based on the edition by Campanus, but a great deal of further editorial work had been needed, as Jenson acknowledged in a colophon, stating that the Lives had been 'emended with anxious care'.
The Latin translations are by Johannes Tortellinus, Lapus Biragus, Donatus Acciaiuolus, Antonius Pacinus, Guarinus Veronensis, Leonardus Brunus, Franciscus Barbarus, Leonardus Justinianus, Alamannus Rinuccinus and Jacobus Angelus de Scarperia.
