Giovanni Bianchini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Bianchini (in Latin, Johannes Blanchinus) (1410 – c. 1449) was a professor of astronomy at the University of Ferrara. He was an associate of Georg Purbach and Regiomontanus.
Blanchinus crater, on the Moon, is named after him.
He should not be confused with Francesco Bianchini (1662-1729) (after whom Bianchini crater is named) or Giuseppe Biancani (1566-1624) (after whom Blancanus crater is named).
