Théodore Moret
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Théodore Moret, also known as Moretus (Antwerp 1602 – Breslau 1667) was a Belgian mathematician and Jesuit. He was born in Antwerp, but spent most of his working life in Prague, in the Kingdom of Bohemia.
Moretus is the author of the first mathematical dissertations ever defended in Prague. Moretus' scientific diaries containing technical notes and drafts as well as his correspondence with pre-eminent European scholars of that time (Kircher, Conrad, Riccioli etc.) are preserved in the National Library of the Czech Republic. He died in Breslau.
The lunar crater Moretus is named after him.
