	Johannes Honter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johannes Honter (also known as Johann Hynter; Latinized as Johann Honterus or Ioannes Honterus; Romanian sources may credit him as Ioan, Hungarian ones as János;1498—January 23, 1549) was a Transylvanian humanist and theologian of Saxon origin.
		Honter is best known for his geographic and cartographic publishing activity, as well as for implementing the Lutheran reform in Transylvania.
		As such, he reorganised the local school (functioning to this day as the "Johannes Honter" School), set up a printing press (1539), printed a large number of books (some of which he himself authored), and assisted in the introduction of a paper mill.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Johannes Kepler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630), a key figure in the scientific revolution, was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer of famed brilliance.
		Born prematurely, Johannes is said to have been a weak and sickly child, but despite his ill health, he was precociously brilliant - he often impressed travelers at the inn [aforementioned] with his phenomenal mathematical faculty as a child.
		There is some evidence this association was of ancient origin, as Plato tells of one Timaeus of Locri who thought of the Universe as being enveloped by a gigantic dodecahedron while the other four solids represent the "elements" of fire, air, earth, and water.

		The deputies of town and country assembled for a final decision on the reformation of the Church, and shortly afterward a church visitation was instituted to test the lootrines of the clergy and to remove unworthy preachers from office.
		In 1544 Honter became preacher in Kronstadt, and in the same year the academy of the city was reorganized on the basis of the Comtitutio acholca Coronensia, which he had drafted in the previous year, Valentin Wagner, a disciple from Wittenberg, being its first president.
		Honter was a prolific writer, his chief works being De grammatica libri duo (1530 or 1531); Rudimenh torum coamographice ltbri, duo (Cracow, 1530); Apologia reformationis (1543); Compendium juria civilis, in usum eivitatum ac aedium Saxoniearum colleetum (1544); and Agende fur die Seelaorger and Kirchen· diener in Siebenbiirgen (1547).

		Honter’s text begins with the structure of the universe and the division of the earth into regions in relation to the heavens, and brings in the human body as well.
		Honter (1498-1549), “the Transylvanian Luther,” was a geographer, woodblock cutter, first printer in his native Kronstadt (now Brasov, Rumania), educator and religious reformer.
		Honter cut woodblocks for 14 maps and published them with the verse text in 1542, making what one may call the first modern atlas of the world.

		As the turks approach Vienna in 1529, Honter moves first to Regensburg but in 1530 he registers at the Krakow University in Poland as "Johannes Georgii de Corona, artium magister Viennensis".
		It is known that Honter was not pleased with the map so he tried to get back all copies that he had sent to friends and other scientists.
		One of the ways that he considered important in his quest was the spread of knowledge and information to as many people as possible.

		Additionally Honter has cut himself 13 maps and 3 diagrams for this book which make the Rudimenta the first atlas to be printed in Eastern Europe.
		This makes Honter's book the most famous printing coming from the Romanian countries in the 16th century (Cantemir's History of the Ottoman Empire being the most famous book of a Romanian author in the 18th century).
		Honter's map is the first map dedicated to Transylvania.

		Johannes Honter was heavily influenced by the celestial charts published in 1515 by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), which were the first printed star maps to include coordinates and scales.
		In an innovative move, Honter reversed the constellation figures so as to describe them as if they were viewed from the earth (what we now describe as a 'geocentric view'), rather than the conventional method which described the constellations as if viewed from outside the earth's sphere.
		In addition to this new perspective, Honter depicted certain figures as unmistakable Northern European types with heavy beards and bulky clothing.

		Perhaps the next best thing are two charts by Johannes Honter, cut in 1532 and included in the first collected edition of the works of Claudius Ptolemy.
		Honter also departed from Durer's classical style by dressing some of the constellation figures in contemporary clothing.
		If you had wished to use Honter's maps for such a purpose, you would have had to overcome a substantial flaw; the entire coordinate system of both charts was accidentally misplaced by nearly thirty degrees!

		Standard practice dictates that all other features, as befitting their constitutional insignificance, were presented in lower case characters.
		When dealing with the 1561 map by Johannes Honter, the retired civil servant {whose cartographic knowledge enabled him to become a world renowned map historian] once again completely ignores the Cornish dimension.
		In their desire to appeal to the sensibilities of those who today suggest that this Cornish Duchy never existed as a constitutional component of the British Isles, the cream of Anglo-academia can discuss the historic Principality of Wales while resolutely refusing to draw attention to the equally historic Duchy of Cornwall.

		Late in life he was exiled from Denmark and settled in Prague where he came in contact with Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), the German scientist who eventually, after Brahe's death, edited and published his work.
		By comparison with her larger neighbours, Germany and Italy, it may not be considered that Switzerland has made a major contribution to the history of cartography, but in the sixteenth century especially Swiss influence was by no means negligible.
		In the second half of the sixteenth century many maps of the cantons in manuscript or woodcut appeared but the mountainous nature of the country produced its own mapping problems and imposed a need for large-scale surveys as well as practical and effective methods of showing land surfaces in relief.
