Jacob Ziegler

Jacob Ziegler, also Jacobus Jacobus Lateranus or Zeiglerius (* 1470 in Landau an der Isar, † August 1549 in Passau ) was a German theologian, mathematician, astronomer, geographer and humanist.

A large effect exerted Ziegler's critical commentary on the second book of the " Natural History" by Pliny. This he brought out in 1531, and also added a part with astronomical observations of Georg Tannstetter ( " Collimitius " ) in - this information was based on teaching texts that were written by students Tannstetters Joachim Vadian.

As a ( brief ) professor of theology in Vienna Ziegler was the author of the book Schondia of Palestine ( 1532), the seven cards that explain the Scriptures, and inserts a map of Scandinavia.

Ziegler was his life traveling a lot. After a stay in Rome first set against the Pope, he fell out with the Reformation supporters and was finally absorbed by the Bishop of Passau, Wolfgang von Salm.
