Scientists of the Christian Faith -- Alphabetical Index (C)

Niccolo Cabeo, S. J. *** Not in Gale

(1586-1650).  Italian scientist, specializing in magnetism, natural philosophy, electricity, hydraulics and mechanics.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/cabeo.html or http://web.clas.ufl.edu/users/rhatch/pages/03-Sci-Rev/SCI-REV-Home/resource-ref-read/major-minor-ind/westfall-dsb/SAM-C.htm

Cabeo was a Jesuit, having entered as a novice in 1602.  Cabeo is remembered partly because he was acquainted with Giovanni Battista Baliani, who experimented with falling weights, and wrote about Baliani's experiments. His interpretation that two different weights fall in the same length of time without regard to the medium became the indirect cause of other experiments conducted by Vincenzo Renieri.

Cabeo experimented with pendulums.  Cabeo taught theology and mathematics in Parma until 1622, and was then a preacher in various Italian cities. Ultimately he returned to the Jesuit college in Genoa where he taught mathematics.  He was employed by the Gonzaga on hydraulic projects. He differed with Castelli on the management of the Po at Ferrara.

Cabeo published two major works, Philosophia magnetica (1629) and In quatuor libros meteorologicorum Aristotelis commentaria (1646), an anti-Aristotelian work.

Giovanni Battista Canano / Giovanni Canani / Cannano *** Not in Gale

(1515-1579).  Italian anatomist, surgeon, instrument-inventor.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/canano.html:

Canano's only published work was Musculorum humani corporis picturata dissectio, c. 1543, a small book but of outstanding importance for its originality. Based exclusively on direct observation of structures of the human body and of living animals, the Picturata dissectio contained the first anatomical drawings of the lumbricales and of the interossei of the hand, and the first description and drawing of the short palmar muscle and of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis, which Vesalius did not observe and which was unknown to Galen.

Another important contribution by Canano was the observation of the valves of the deep veins, and the assertion that they serve to prevent the reflux of the blood.  His book on muscles was intended as the first volume of a major work on the whole of anatomy, but Vesalius' De fabrica forestalled him.

Canano invented instruments for certain surgeries.

He received several visits from Andreas Vesalius in his home in 1540, and when he met Vesalius again in 1544 he told him about his observation of the valves of deep veins.

He was Prior of the Medical College of Ferrara.

Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor

J.J. O'Connor and E.F. Robertson. "Juan Caramuel y Lobkowitz," http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Caramuel.html or http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Caramuel.html:  In a work in 1670 he expounded the general principle of numbers to base n pointing out the benefits of some other bases than 10. Caramuel proposed a new method of trisecting an angle and developed a system of logarithms to base 109 where log 1010 = 0 and log 1 = 10. Among Caramuel's other scientific work was a system he developed to determine longitude using the position of the moon.

"I have learned that the Bible is reliable and true, and that it can be trusted as a guide for my life.  I have learned that God is real; that it is reasonable to believe and trust Him, and that He has been directing and guiding my life.  I have learned that, while it is important to know God's will for my life, it is even more important for me to be willing.  I have learned that by being willing, I was able to follow the interests and talents that God gave me which, for me, were to pursue my interest in science.  As a scientist, I have learned that faith in God and science are complementary and that knowing and trusting God through Jesus Christ has enhanced my understanding and appreciation of nature."

Giulio Casseri / Guilio Casserio *** Not in Gale

(c. 1552-1616).  Italian anatomist, physiologist, embryologist, physician.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/casseri.html

Casseri's achievemens are collected in three anatomical works: De vocis auditusque organis historia anatomica (Ferrara, 1600- 1601), Pentaestheseion, hoc est de quinque sensibus liber (Venice, 1609), and Tabulae anatomicae LXXIIX, omnes nec ante hac visae (Venice,1627).

He left important illustrations of the formation of the foetus.

Gian Domenico Cassini [Cassini I]

(1625-1712).  Astronomer.  Optician, cartographer, engineer.  Hydraulics specialist.  Gian Domenico, later Jean-Dominique (1625-1712),b. Italy; professor at Bologna (1650-68).  He studied with the Jesuit priests and astronomers Giovanni Riccioli (1598-1671) and Francesco Grimaldi (1618-1663) before becoming an astronomy professor at the University of Bologna at the age of twenty-five.  He was invited to join French Royal Academy of Sciences (1668); naturalized French citizen (1673); first director of the Paris observatory. Observed comets, planetary surfaces; constructed tables of Jovian satellites; discovered four of Saturn's satellites (1671-84); observed a dark division in Saturn's ring; made earliest systematic observation of zodiacal light; determined parallax of sun, obliquity of ecliptic,and eccentricity of earth's orbit; in mathematics, discovered Cassinian oval. Cassini retired from the Paris Observatory after going blind in 1710, and was succeeded in his post by his son and later his grandson.

On October 17, 1997 an unmanned spacecraft blasted off from Kennedy Space Center, headed for Saturn. It arrived at Saturn in 2004, and carried out an ambitious program of observations of the planet and its moons. It will also release probes to study the atmosphere and surface of Titan. It was named "Cassini."

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/cassini_gia.html

An official expert during the negotiations between Bologna and Ferrara on the flooding of the Po. He composed several memoires on the flooding and how to avoid it.  Named by the Pope as superintendent of the fortifications "du fort d'Urbain" in 1663.  Deeply involved in French mapping endeavors.

Member of the Académie Royal des Sciences, participated in certain meetings of the Accademia del Cimento.

Lunar Crater Cassini named in his honor.

Jacques Cassini [Cassini II]

French astronomer, cartographer, physicist Jacques Cassini (1677-1756) succeeded his father Gian Domenico Cassini as director of Paris observatory (1712); known for work to determine figure of the earth; measured meridian of Paris (1718); published De la grandeur et de la figure de la terre (1722), celestial tables, etc.  Also dealt with electricity and optics.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/cassini_jac.html

Jacques travelled with his father through Italy, Flanders, the Netherlands, and England making numerous geodesic measurements as well as several astronomical observations.  He presented a new method for the determination of longitudes by means of the eclipses of the stars and planets by the moon.  In 1713 he took the position supporting the hypothesis of the elongation of the terrestrial ellipsoid. In his work, De la grandeur et de la figure de la terre (1722), he presented information confirming his hypothesis. In 1733-34 he undertook the determination of the perpendicular to the meridian of Paris from Saint-Malo to Strasbourg in order to defend his views against those of Desaguliers, Maupertuis, and Poleni.

In astronomy Cassini's primary interests were the study of planets and their satellites, the observation and theory of comets, and the tides. Cassini fought continually to defend the work of his father and to reconcile the facts of observation with the theory of vortices. As an astronomer he improved instruments; especially important was a new micrometer.  (The improvements of instruments and the appearance of new methods were not used to their full extent by this timid Copernican and convinced Cartesian.)

He gave papers to the Academie on electricity, the recoil of firearms, barometers, and burning mirrors.

Jacques worked with his father (1700-1701) and himself later finished the measurement of the arc of the meridian through Paris.

After 1740 he collaborated with his son, Cassini de Thury (Cassini III) on a map of France.

Members: Académie Royal des Sciences, Royal Society, Berlin Academy, Institute Bologna.

Member of the Académie (1694-1756)--Associate, 1699; Pensionnaire, 1712.

While on his travels with his father he met Newton, Flamsteed, and Halley and became a member of the Royal Society, c. 1698.

Jacques Cassini was honored by naming asteroid (24102) Jacquescassini, which had been discovered by C.W. Juels at Fountain Hills observatory on November 9, 1999, and provisionally designated 1999 VD9.

César-François Cassini de Thury [Cassini III]

(1714-1784).  Franch astronomer, cartographer.  Son of Jacques Cassini and the grandson of Giovanni Domenico Cassini. Casar succeeded Jacques as director of the Paris observatory (1756); began topographical map of France (1744); specialized in geodesy (1748-1845).

J.J. O'Connor and E.F. Robertson.  "César-François Cassini de Thury,"

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Cassini_de_Thury.html

Cassini's data supported the view that the Earth was flattened at the poles and he published his conclusions in 1744 in La méridienne de l'Observatoire royal de Paris véifiée dans toute l'étendue du royaume.  His life-long work was to survey France and produce an accurate map of the country. He began with a preliminary survey in 1740 when he reported that he had set up 400 triangles on eighteen accurately measured bases and would use these to produce his first map of France.

Cassini published Geometric description of the world (1775) and Geometric description of France (1783). When Cassini died of smallpox in 1784 only two of the 182 sheets of his map of France were still to be completed. The project was finished off by Cassini's son Dominique Cassini who had been helping his father with the project for the previous ten years.

Taton gives this summary of Cassini's achievements:

While he was a good geodesist and a talented cartographer, Cassini III was only a second-rate astronomer; and the name of this third representative of the Cassini dynasty at the Paris Observatory will remain associated with the first map of France produced according to modern principles.

Jean-Dominique Comte de Cassini [Cassini IV]

(1748-1845).  French astronomer.  Son of César-François Cassini de Thury, the grandson of Jacques Cassini and the great-grandson of Giovanni Domenico Cassini. Jean-Dominique Cassini succeeded his father as Director of the Paris Observatory (1784-93); completed Cesar's map of France (published 1793); and created count by Napoleon.

Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus

 (480/485/490-ca. 575/580/585). The Roman statesman and author Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator [surname, not rank] introduced the tradition of preserving and copying classical literature in Christian monasteries, and his writings provide information about the period of Ostrogothic rule of Italy.  He exerted great influence on the preservation of works of classical literature in Christian monasteries from the 6^th century through the Middle Ages.

Benedetto Castelli *** Not in Gale

(1577-1643).  Italian astronomery physicist, mathematician, specialist in hydraulics and optics, instrument inventor.  Catholic, a Benedictine.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/castelli.html:

Castelli suggested to Galileo the method of observing sunspots, really a device.  He apparently first suggested a device to measure rainfall.  Papal consultant on hydraulics, 1626. Castelli's entire career was devoted primarily to this practical activity.

Connections: Knew Galileo very well. Taught Borelli, Cavalieri, and Toricelli.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03408d.htm:

His chief work is Della misura dell'acqua corrente (Rome, 1628; 3rd ed., 1660), translated into English by Salusbury (London, 1661), and into French by Saporta (1664), reprinted (Bologna, 1823) in Cardinali's collection d'autori italiani che trattano del moto dell'acqua. Another work is Risposta alle oppositioni del Sig. Lodvico, &c., contro al trattato del Sig. Galileo, Delle cose che stanno sopra acqua (Bologna, 1655). According to Poggendorf, the invention of the helioscope is ascribed to him.

Alexis Caswell

Alexis Caswell (1799-1877), college president and scientist, was a twin son of Samuel and Polly (Seaver) Caswell.  His standing as a scientist is also shown by his election as Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850, and by the government's choice of him as one of fifty incorporators of the National Academy of Sciences in 1863. His most important publication was, perhaps, the account of his own meteorological observations at Providence, R. I., from December 1831 to May 1860, in Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, vol. XII (1860).

http://www.famousamericans.net/alexiscaswell/

Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, Past Presidents.  http://www.brown.edu/Administration/President/past/caswell.html

Walter Cochran Bronson. Dictionary of American Biography.  "[Caswell] was untroubled by the supposed conflict between science and religion; 'the legitimate results of all true science, and all discovery,' he wrote in 1841, 'will be to fix the truths of Christianity upon a broader and deeper foundation.'"

Pietro Antonio Cataldi

(1548-1626).  Italian number theorist, algebraist, and astronomer.  Pietro Antonio Cataldi published 30 mathematical works in the course of his life. The most important of these treatises, published in 1613, delineated some of the earliest work on continued fractions, including its definition, common form, and symbolism using standard notation. Cataldi also used continued fractions to discover numerical square roots. Cataldi's mathematical accomplishments were not limited to continued fractions: he published treatises concerning algebra, perfect numbers and arithmetic, and served as an editor of other mathematical books. An influential teacher as well as a mathematician, Cataldi taught at higher learning institutions in Perugia and Bologna for most of his career.

Francesco Bonaventura Cavalieri

(1598-1647). Italian mathematician, geometer, theologian. At early age entered order of Jesuati; Professor at Bologna (1629). Originated the method of indivisibles, a precursor of integral calculus, which he published as Geometria indivisibilibus continuorum nova quadam ratione promota (1635) and by means of which was able to solve problems proposed by Kepler; improved method in Exercitationes geometricae sex (1647); also wrote on trigonometry, conics, etc.

http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Cavalieri.html

Italian mathematician who was a student of Galileo. In 1635, he stated Cavalieri's Principle, which states that if two solids have the same height, and if their cross sections taken parallel to and at equal distances from their bases are always equal, then the solids have the same volume. This was a stepping stone towards calculus.

Juan de Celaya  *** Not in Gale

(c. 1490-1558).  Scholastic philosopher.  Spaniard.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/celaya.html

Celaya stayed in Paris, teaching, until 1524. During these years he maintained a prolific output in logic and natural philosophy; his commentary on the Physics is especially important for its discussion of motion.

Celaya returned to Spain about 1524. He became the Rector and professor of theology at the University of Valencia. He appears to have stayed in that position until the end of his life.

Federico Cesi *** Not in Gale

(1585-1630).  Italian botanist, pharmacologist, specialist in scientific organization.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/cesi.html:

Cesi will always be remembered primarily for his Accademia dei Lincei, which is often cited as the first modern scientific society.  He made the principal function of the Accademia the preparation of a precis of the Spanish physician, Francisco Hernandez's Nova plantarum et mineralium mexicanorum historia (a work referred to under various titles, in one of which the word thesaurus is central) for publication. A preliminary version of this was published in 1628; the complete version appeared only in 1651, more than twenty years after Cesi's death. It contained Cesi's own Phytosophicae tabulae, a pioneer effort at a classification of plants.

Using a microscope (which he received from Galileo), Cesi discovered the spores of cryptogams.  The final table (of the Phytosophicae tabulae) concerned the medicinal uses of plants. Cesi was a leading simpler of the age, and his herb garden was known as one of the best in Italy.

Cesi organized the Accademia dei Lincei originally in 1603, although its significant years came later when he had long since passed beyond adolescence. The Accademia is remembered primarily because Cesi enrolled Galileo in it, and Galileo referred to himself in his major works as the Academician. In addition to Galileo's Letters on Sunspots and Il Saggiatore, the Accademia published some minor works by Porta and others.

Giacinto Cestoni / Diacinto Cestoni *** Not in Gale

(1637-1718).  Italian natural historian, entomologist, microscopist, pharmacologist, zoologist, physician.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/cestoni.html

Cestoni was a natural historian devoted to detailed observation--e.g., of the metamorphic cycle of the flea. He was interested in the generation of insects. In connection with his observations in entomology, he discovered (or discovered in connection with the Livornese physician Bonono) the acarid etiology of mange. Cestoni used the microscope systematically. He did experimental work on pharmacology, and his observations in natural history included things like shell fish and chameleons.

The estimation of Cestoni seems to be constantly rising, and some historians are even touting him as the most important Italian scientist (perhaps they mean in the field of the life sciences) in Italy during his age.

Cestoni was in Rome in the service of a pharmacist, 1650-56; working for a pharmacist in Livorno, 1656-60.

He traveled partly outside of Italy much of this time, although he was back in Livorno with the pharmacist part of this time. For about four months he worked for a pharmacist in Geneva, 1660-66.  He settled as a pharmacist in Livorno where he spent the rest of his life.  Cestoni is called a skillful surgeon as well as a pharmacist, and the epigraph on his tomb called him a physician.

Ludolph van Ceulen *** Not in Gale

(1540-1610). Dutch mathematician. Professor of fortification at Leiden (1600-10); known for computations of the value of pi (sometimes known as Ludolph's number), which he finally carried to 35 decimal places.

Giovanni Ceva

(c. 1647-1734).  Italian geometer and engineer.  Giovanni Ceva was an authority on his era's geometric problems with an vast interest in pure geometry. He proved theorems on transversals and developed what is now known as Ceva's theorem, which concerns when lines from the vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides intersect at a common point. In Ceva's most important work, De lineis rectis, he combined his background in mechanics and geometry to attack the problems of geometric systems. Ceva also demonstrated applications of geometry statics and wrote an early treatise on mathematical economics.

Tomasso Ceva *** Not in Gale

(1648-c. 1737).  Italian mathematician, natural philosopher.  Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/ceva_tom.html

Ceva entered the Society of Jesus in 1663. He spent the whole of his adult life within the order.

At an early age he became professor of mathematics and rhetoric at Brera College in Milan (a Jesuit college), and he taught there for more than forty years.

Ceva's Opuscula mathematica (1699), summarizing all of his mathematical work, dealt with gravity, arithmetic, geometric- harmonic means, the cyloid, division of angles, and higher order conic sections and curves.

Ceva's contribution to mathematics was, however, modest.  His first scientific work, De natura gravium (1669), dealt with physical subjects--such as gravity and free fall--in a philosophical way.  However, he was later the author of Philosophia novo-antiqua (1704), which tried to yoke experimental philosophy to Scholasticism, anti-Copernicanism, and anti-Cartesianism. (Recall that he was a Jesuit.) Ramat calls the Philosophia one of the last efforts of Scholasticism against the new philosophy.  Ceva was a fairly important literary and theological figure, and much more into these fields than into science.

Ceva designed an instrument to divide a right angle into a specified number of equal parts.  He also prepared stage effects, such as artificial fire, for official pageants in the early 18th century.

Walter Charleton *** Not in Gale

(1619-1707) Physician.  Natural philosopher and historian, physiologist, anatomist.  President of the Royal College of Physicians.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/charlton.html:

Charleton's most important work was in general natural philosophy. He entered the world of learning as a disciple of van Helmont (Spiritus gongonicus, a Helmontian theory of the formation of stones in the human body, and A Ternary of Paradoxes, mostly a translation from Helmont, both in 1650. Then three works in the atomist tradition: The Darkness of Atheism, 1652; Physiologia Epicuro-Gassendo-Charletoniana, 1654; The Immortality of the Human Soul [sic], 1657; The Natural History of Nutrition, Life and Voluntary Motion, 1659, was one of the first books in English on physiology; Onomasticon zoicon, 1668, was a work more or less in taxonomy.  He also published some anatomical lectures and Onomasticon contained anatomies of two animals that he had dissected.

George Cheyne *** Not in Gale

(c. 1673-1743).  English physician, mathematician, natural philosopher.  Anglican.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/cheyne.html

Cheyne's first book was A New Theory of Fevers, 1701; in the tradition of iatromechanics.  In 1703 Fluxionum methodus inversa, a pedestrian work on the calculus; he did not further pursue mathematics.  Philosophical Principles of Natural Religion, 1705, and in 1715 the other half as it were, Philosophical Principles of Revealed Religion. Both of these drew heavily on Newtonian natural philosophy. All of his later medical books contained discussions of natural philosophy, a mechanistic philosophy influenced by Newtonian concepts of force, and in his old age with a vitalistic principle added.

In his years in Bath Cheyne became one of England's most widely read medical writers, propounding a life of pious moderation (in contrast to his own early behavior, which left him weighing about 450 pounds.)

During his first years in London Cheyne supported himself as a tutor (in mathematics) to William Ker, the younger brother of the Duke of Roxburgh.  Medical pactice, 1702-43, initally in London, after 1720 in Bath. Cheyne had many eminent patients, including Samuel Richardson, Alexander Pope, John Wesley, Samuel Johnson, David Hume, and members of the squirarchy and aristocracy such as Richard Tennison, Sir Joseph Jekyll, and the Countess of Huntingdon.

Membership: Royal Society, Fellow in 1702.  Informal Connections: At least a peripheral member of a prominent circle of medical and scientific writers that included David Gregory, Edmund Halley, Richard Mead and John Arbuthnot.  Friendship with Samuel Richardson.  Correspondence with the Countess of Huntingdon.

Joshua Childrey *** Not in Gale

(1623-1670).  Natural historian from England.  Meteorologist.  Instrument-maker.

The Galileo Project, http://galileo.rice.edu/Catalog/NewFiles/childrey.html

Childrey's first books were on astrology: Imago astrologica, 1652, and Syzygiasticon instauratum, 1653.

In attempting to elaborate an experimental astrology, he confirmed an old idea that there was a 35 year cycle in the weather. He made numberous observations on the weather and the tides.  His most important book was Britannia baconia, 1660, in natural history.  Childrey made and improved telescopes.

Detail about K. K. Chin.  http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~kkc21/detail.html.  "I am a Christian. I beleive in Jesus' redemption work on the cross and salvation through faith by the grace of God."
Unknown. "The transformation of an atheist," http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~kkc21/atheist.html.  Testimony. "Many of my questions stumped my Christian friends. When they could not give me answers, they brought me to see people who could or lent me books on the subject. It took several years of soul-searching, intellectual struggle and serious study of the Bible, but finally I was able to overcome the many seemingly insurmountable hurdles that stood in the way of faith. From a staunch atheist, I was transformed into a believer willing to give my life for God's service. Looking back, I could see that the breakthrough had to be both intellectual and emotional."
