About this person

Johannes Müller was born in Königsberg in Lower Franconia on 6 June 1436. He worked across Vienna, Buda, and Nuremberg during the German Renaissance, writing under the Latinized name Ioannes de Monteregio - the shortened form Regiomontanus came later, coined by Philipp Melanchthon in 1534. His work in mathematics, astronomy, and astrology laid groundwork that proved instrumental in the development of Copernican heliocentrism in the decades after his death on 6 July 1476. He was forty years old.
