Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc ( 1580 – 1637), often known simply as Peiresc, or by the Latin form of his name, Peirescius, was a French astronomer, antiquary and savant, who maintained a wide correspondence with scientists, and was a successful organizer of scientific inquiry.
His research included a determination of the difference in longitude of various locations in Europe, around the Mediterranean, and in North Africa.
He is notably known for having been Galileo’s lawyer, a close friend of Rubens, an art advisor to Marie de' Medici, a pioneer of Egyptology, and for undertaking the first map of the Moon based on telescopic observations. Marc Fumaroli described him as the prince of the Republic of Letters.
