Andreas CELLARIUS (Neuhausen, c. 1596 – Hoorn, 1665)

The Dutch-German mathematician and cosmographer Andreas Cellarius is well known to map historians and historians of astronomy as the author of the Harmonia Macrocosmica, commonly regarded as one of the most spectacular celestial atlases that was published in the second half of the seventeenth century.
The Harmonia Macrocosmica was published in 1660 (a reprint was issued in 1661) by the Amsterdam publisher Johannes Janssonius as a supplement to his Atlas Novus. Cellarius had already started working on this atlas before 1647 and intended it to be a historical introduction for a two-volume treatise on cosmography but the second part was never issued. Cellarius resigned as rector in early 1665 and died in November on the same year. The plates of his Harmonia Macrocosmica was reprinted (without the Latin commentary) in 1708 by the Amsterdam publishers Gerard Valk and Petrus Schenk.
