About Christopher Clavius
- Christopher Clavius (25 March 1538 – 6 February 1612) was a Jesuit German mathematician and astronomer who modified the proposal of the modern Gregorian calendar after the death of its primary author, Aloysius Lilius.
- Clavius would later write defences and an explanation of the reformed calendar, including an emphatic acknowledgement of Lilio's work.
- In his last years he was probably the most respected astronomer in Europe and his textbooks were used for astronomical education for over fifty years in and even out of Europe.
