EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print showcases the esteemed Portrait of Hipparchus, a prominent figure in ancient Greek astronomy, geography, and mathematics. The intricate engraving skillfully captures the essence of this legendary scholar who made significant contributions to various fields. Hipparchus, hailing from Nicaea in ancient Greece, is celebrated for his groundbreaking work in astronomy. His meticulous observations and calculations revolutionized our understanding of celestial bodies and their movements. Through his studies, he developed the concept of stellar magnitudes and devised methods to measure distances between stars. As a geographer, Hipparchus meticulously mapped out regions across the known world during his time. His cartographic expertise provided invaluable insights into Earth's physical features and helped lay the foundation for future explorations. Furthermore, as a mathematician, Hipparchus played a pivotal role in advancing mathematical knowledge. He introduced trigonometry as we know it today by developing tables that facilitated precise calculations involving angles and triangles. This engraved portrait pays homage to an intellectual giant whose legacy continues to shape our understanding of astronomy, geography, and mathematics. It serves as a testament to Hipparchus' enduring influence on these disciplines throughout history
