Joseph Justus Scaliger (Agen n., 1540 - d. Leiden, 1609)

Now that so many people seem willing to forget the history of science to back to medieval beliefs about "Creation" life is good review of some of those scholars who made the world move forward, and history as they were giving face to face with the Bible until they learned to brush it aside. One of them was Joseph Justus Scaliger Scaliger and José Justo, as it is called in some English books, French scholar some even compare to Aristotle and some of whose ideas, as we shall see, made life easier for scientists and even today used. Joseph Justus Scaliger
was the son of another great scholar of his time, Julius Caesar Scaliger , who worked as a clerk during his childhood, learning the way Latin and how to work those scholars years. He studied Greek at the University of Paris though, as the classes had a very high level, end up learning as an autodidact, as well as after the Hebrew and Arabic. Between 1563 and 1570 he traveled to Italy and Britain as a companion to another young man of noble family. During those trips became a Protestant. Then he studied law at Valence and had to flee to Switzerland for the persecution they lived Huguenots in France, teaching philosophy at Geneva for a while. He returned to France in 1574 and went on to publish annotated editions of the classics, inquiring after the story, which introduced the critical method that would not end succeeding until long after his death. Scaliger thought ancient history was not just that of the Romans and Greeks, but also the Egyptians, Persians and Babylonians, and could not continue teaching the history of the Hebrews as a fact beyond all others.
of his interest in chronology and astronomy did the work of emendation Tempore Opus (1583), which devised a chronological system that still is useful to astronomers, called Julian day (for his father Julius Caesar Scaliger). Until then the various calendars used made it very difficult to calculate the days from a particular very important information when observing the stars. Scaliger sought a starting point on a day to match the lunar cycles, solar and used in Rome for the collection of taxes. This calculated point of departure on 24 January 4183 BC on the Julian calendar. So today for example would be the Julian day 2454870 (do not have much merit, there are sites on the Internet that calculated for any date). Subsequently adapted his account in Greenwich and few further adjustments work.
In 1593 he moved to the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, where he spent the rest of his life. There could devote full time the study of mathematics, philosophy, history, and virtually all knowledge of his time. During his later years continued to publish editions of the classics, and in 1606 was published what would become his masterpiece, the Thesaurus Temporum in which, among other things, recovered through a Byzantine short list of Egyptian kings of Manetho. Based on it, Scaliger calculated the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty in the year 5285 BC. Unfortunately for him, and based on the Bible and then others would like James Ussher, Scaliger had previously given a date for the creation the world in the year 3949 BC, so he had to invent a mythical period or "proleptic" curiously elapsed time before the Creation ("time before time was created?) to avoid colliding with the Holy Scriptures .
obviously not convinced that too much of his time other scholars, some of which interpreted that the Egyptians had invented a mythical past to believe that his people were older than the Jew, who "obviously" was the most senior in the Bible. Other dates Manetho reduced to coincide with the Scriptures. The controversy lasted for several centuries and even one of the greatest thinkers in history, Isaac Newton , said at the time that the list of Manetho was wrong because it went against the Bible.
Despite his efforts to reconcile what they drew from their readings with the "official timeline" based on the Bible, some people must have thought that his teachings were too dangerous for religion, and the last years of his life were spent in the middle of attacks by their enemies, led by the Jesuits who were dedicated to publish all kinds of lies about him, dying in January 1609.

Cruising In Columbus, Oh

BAVAUD MAURICE (n. Neuchatel, 1916 - m. Berlin, 1941)

Kill Hitler is cool. It is strange and even disturbing as the machinery of Hollywood influence in the stimuli we receive through the media. The other day, while attending the book presentation a friend in a bookstore in Madrid, the bookseller told me that for a while now books about plots to kill Hitler were sold like hotcakes, which is quite curious a country in which, speaking of books, almost nothing is selling like hotcakes. Begins to understand the other hand when the press makes front page news of actor fashion statements (which for me is every day more p'allá, what can I say) in which he says he grew up wanting to kill Hitler. Well, some grew up wanting to kill Dr. Hell , which is more natural when it grows, I think. In short, fashion is at least I have discovered in the tent a book, "Killing Hitler by Roger Moorhouse , catalog of all who tried to kill the dictator of truth, when he was alive (about 40 to Moorhouse .) And the book a couple of characters to highlight, for me more impressive than the Von Stauffenberg and company, such as Georg Elser , who already spent an entry in his day, and student Maurice Bavaud theology, which I will discuss today.
Bavaud Maurice was born in the Swiss town of Neuchatel in the midst of a middle-class Catholic family. Although trained as a draftsman, at age 19 decided to become a missionary, and it entered the École Saint-Ilan Langueux , a French seminary located in Britain. There he became a member of a group of students, the Compagnie du Mystère , which is currently discussing the troubled European thirties, and was led by a very peculiar person called Marcel Gerbohay. Gerbohay had a history of schizophrenia, delusions and asserted their descent from the past Russian tsars, and it was an anti-fan. To Bavaud but the danger facing Europe was represented best by the Nazis, so that in the summer of 1938 left school and decided to travel to Germany to kill Hitler.
first went to Baden-Baden, where he hoped his cousin, Nazi leader, will introduce in the game. But his cousin received with suspicion and even denounced him to the Gestapo , so Bavaud had no choice but to continue on their own to Basel, where he bought a small pistol, and finally to Berlin.
In Berlin Hitler learned that would be the 8th and 9th November in Munich, where all years, celebrated the coup of 1923 (the same conclusion that he would use Elser next year) with a grand parade, so that on October 31 took a train to Bavaria. In Munich without much trouble got a press pass that allowed him to stand on a soapbox from which he had a good view of the procession. However, the crowd standing start over dictator from carrying out his plan to shoot, and the idea also had considered jumping from the stands and approached the car to kill the tyrant.
The failure did not discourage the Swiss, the next day forged a letter from a former French prime minister and traveled to Berchtesgaden with the idea of \u200b\u200bseeking an audience with Hitler. But there he was told that the Fuehrer was still in Munich, which had to turn back. Again in the Bavarian town, Bavaud forged another letter, this time by a French nationalist leader, and went with her to the Nazi party headquarters. Yet there he was told that was impossible to give audience, asked him to leave it there cast forth the letter or the post office and unceremoniously fired him.
the end, no money and tired of trying, Bavaud took another train without a ticket to go home and fate would have it, was arrested by one reviewer and turned over to police. The police arrested him for unlawful possession of a weapon and found in his luggage the two letters, so, suspecting something wrong, he was handed over to the Gestapo.
Under torture he finally confessed his plans to assassinate Hitler to save her country and the Catholic religion. He was sentenced by the People's Court in Berlin in December, and guillotined in Berlin on prison Plötzensee the May 14, 1941. Maurice Bavaud
that, compared with Elser, it seems more a poor bungler idealistic than anything else, had to wait until November last year to be reinstated in his country, who once refused to defend against Germany and even prevented was exchanged for a spy upon request Germans. The Swiss government considered him a madman, but his family struggled at first to clear his name. In 1955 a court in the former FRG commuted the death penalty but again condemned to 10 years for attempted murder, Hitler would do anything, but it was still a person who tried to kill, according to the court . In 1956 the family won the appeal and granted them 40,000 Swiss francs in reparations, but it took 70 years for Swiss President Pascal Couchepin acknowledged that fellow had been a hero.
As in the case of Elser, the questions one asks are: Is it lawful the murder in a case like this? Can an individual claim the power to decide who is a danger to mankind? What is the boundary between the madman and hero?
At the time nor the Catholic Church, which signed a concordat with the Nazis in 1933, or Switzerland, who spent the war looking the other way, I thought it had to stop Hitler's feet, although it might be one of the most obvious tyrants who have walked the face of the earth. In short some acts must judge the story that puts everyone in place, although sometimes painfully slow.
