The 15th-century mathematician and astronomer
Regiomontanus was supposed to have fashioned an iron fly that flew from his hands at a feast, an automaton designed to arouse wonder both at the marvellous skill of the craftsman, and at the everyday miracle of the animation of these minor creatures.
The oldest surviving description of the 'lunar distance' method for determining longitude was published in 1474 by
Regiomontanus. The method was again described in 1514 by Johann Werner and in 1524 by Peter Apian, which latter work had appeared in 30 editions and three languages by 1600 (Sobel & Andrewes, 2003).

Regiomontanus in VI Octans, for example, was born Johannes Muller von Konigsberg ("Regent's Mount") in 1436.
Professor Ragep has added significant knowledge on the period, arguing that the theory for the inner planets presented by the German mathematician/astronomer and Catholic bishop Johannes MEaA-ller von KEaA[micro]nigsberg, today best known by the Latin epithet
Regiomontanus, which allowed Copernicus to convert the planets to eccentric models, was first developed in the 15th century by Al Qushji.

Based on Arabic texts, German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Muller von Konigsberg (Johannes de Monte Regio,
Regiomontanus) (1436-1476) composed works related to the safiha as the famous De triangulis planais et sphaericis libris quinque, published posthumously in 1533 by the Dutch astronomer and mathematician Daniel Santbech.
These included
Regiomontanus, Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo-all of whom were taught astrology and/or practiced its principles.
It soon developed into a more detailed title-page, one with a two-color decorative border, the Calendarium of Johannes
Regiomontanus, appearing in 1476 (Venice), being a fifty-five year calendar (1475-1530) printed by Johannes
Regiomontanus.
The German mathematician and astrologer Johann
Regiomontanus (1436-1476) was the first person to treat trigonometry as a distinct mathematical discipline.
Not long, therefore, after the death of
Regiomontanus, Copernicus began to meditate a new system, which should connect together the celestial appearances, in a more simple as well as a more accurate manner, than that of Ptolemy" (43).
