Excerpt: Jean-Baptiste Morin (February 23, 1583 November 6, 1656), also known by his Latin pseudonym as Morinus, was a French mathematician, astrologer, and astronomer. Born in Villefranche-sur-Saone, in the Beaujolais, he began studying philosophy at Aix-en-Provence at the age of 16.

He was employed by the Bishop of Boulogne from 1613 to 1621 and was sent to Germany and Hungary during this time. He served the bishop as an astrologer and also visited mines and studied metals. He subsequently worked for the Duke of Luxembourg until 1629. Morin published a defense of Aristotle in 1624. He also worked in the field of optics, and continued to study in astrology. He worked with Pierre Gassendi on observational astronomy. In 1630, Morin was appointed professor of mathematics at the College Royal, a post he held until his death.
