Achilles Pirmin Gasser [1] (3 November 1505 – 4 December 1577)[2] was a German physician and astrologer. He is now known as a well-connected humanistic scholar, and supporter of both Copernicus and Rheticus .
Born in Lindau , he studied mathematics, history, and philosophy, as well as astronomy.[3] He was a student in Sélestat under Johannes Sapidus [it ] ;[4] he also attended universities in Wittenberg , Vienna , Montpellier , and Avignon .[5]
In 1528, German cartographer Sebastian Münster appealed to scientists across the Holy Roman Empire [6] to assist him with his description of Germany. Gassar accepted this and was later recognized by Münster as a close collaborator for his cartography of the country.[7]
Rheticus lost his physician father Georg Iserin in 1528 when he was executed on sorcery charges. Gasser later took over the practice in Feldkirch , in 1538; he taught Rheticus some astrology , and helped his education, in particular by writing to the University of Wittenberg on his behalf.[5] [8] [9]
When Rheticus printed his Narratio prima —the first published account of the Copernican heliocentric system —in 1540 (Danzig ), he sent Gasser a copy. Gasser then undertook a second edition (1541, Basel ) with his own introduction[10] in the form of a letter from Gasser to Georg Vogelin of Konstanz .[5] The second edition (1566, Basel) of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium contained the Narratio Prima with this introduction by Gasser.[11]

He prepared the first edition (Augsburg, 1558) of the Epistola de magnete of Pierre de Maricourt .[3] [12]
Other works include:
Gasser belonged with Flacius to the humanist circle around Kaspar von Niedbruck [de ] , concerned with the recovery of monastic manuscripts. Others in the group were John Bale , Conrad Gesner , Joris Cassander , Johannes Matalius Metellus , and Cornelius Wauters .[16]
