From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Théodore Moret, also known as Moretus (1602 – 1667) was a Belgian mathematician and Jesuit. He was born in Antwerp, but spent most of his working life in Prague, in the Czech Republic.
Moretus is the author of the first mathematical dissertations ever defended in Prague. Moretus' scientific diaries containing technical notes and drafts as well as his correspondence with pre-eminent European scholars of that time (Kircher, Conrad, Riccioli etc.) are preserved in the National Library of the Czech Republic. He died in Breslau.
He has a lunar crater named after him - the Moretus crater.
