EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Johannes Stoeffler, a remarkable figure in the world of science and academia. Born in 1452, this German mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, instrument maker, and teacher left an indelible mark on his field. As a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Tubingen from 1507 onwards, Stoeffler's expertise was highly sought after. In this image taken from his renowned work "Calendarum Romanum Magnum" published in Oppenheim in 1518, we see Stoeffler portrayed with utmost dignity and intellect. His piercing gaze reflects his deep understanding of the cosmos as he holds a scientific instrument that symbolizes his dedication to unraveling its mysteries. However, despite his brilliance and contributions to various disciplines such as medicine and astrology, Stoeffler met an untimely demise due to the devastating plague epidemic. This tragic event serves as a reminder of both the fragility of life and the resilience of human curiosity. Through this photograph print by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness the presence of one man who shaped our understanding of mathematics and astronomy during a pivotal period in history. Let us remember Johannes Stoeffler not only for his academic achievements but also for embodying the spirit of relentless pursuit towards knowledge amidst adversity.
