Why Is Pedro Ciruelo Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Pedro Sánchez Ciruelo was a Spanish philosopher, theologian, mathematician, astrologer, astronomer and writer on topics of natural philosophy. Early life Ciruelo was born somewhere between 1460 and 1470 in Daroca, Spain. Ciruelo was born in the kingdom of Aragon where Daroca held political, military, and administrative significance for the kingdom. He came from a family of Jews and Judaizers according to papers that traced his genealogy during the Spanish Inquisition. Ciruelo claimed to be an orphan, but the validity of this claim is not well-supported as Ciruelo had living relatives and received an education which was costly at the time. This claim may have been used to distance himself from his Jewish ancestry because his grandfather, Francisco Sánchez Ciruelo, was condemned for apostasy, and an uncle, Bartolomé, was a confeso who confessed to reverting from Catholicism to Jewish beliefs. His family is not thought to have been wealthy as several members were into common trades like shoe-making or meat cutting.
