John Dee visited Commandino in Urbino in 1563.
In particular the proof of proposition 2 in book II was incomplete, and Commandino filled it out.
He studied mathematics under Commandino during this period and became one of his most staunch disciples.
He also became afriend of Bernardino Baldi, who was also a student of Commandino around the same time.
In the letter Commandino outlined his plans for further publications including Ptolemy 's De analemmate and an edition of Apollonius.
There they had a mathematics tutor for one of their sons, and this same tutor taught Commandino mathematics.
This is actually an important connection and it shows that Commandino has a deep understanding of the works which he edited.
This rapid ascent was assisted by Apollonius, Archimedes, Aristarchus, Euclid,Eutocius, Heron, Pappus, Ptolemy and Serenus- as published by Commandino.
After this tutor was appointed a bishop in June 1533 he arranged that Commandino be appointed as private secretary to Pope Clement VII.
Also in 1558 Commandino published the work which he had begun in Rome, namely Commentarius in planisphaerium Ptolemaei in which he gave an account of Ptolemy 's stereographic projection of the celestial sphere.
I illustrate in particular Fabrizio Mordente's stay in Urbino and discussions with Commandino and Guidobaldo.
In particular Guidobaldo, together with his teacher Commandino, improved the reduction compass, helping develop it into the proportional compass.
In Gamba shows that Mordente spent some time in Urbino and had many discussions with Commandino and his pupil del Monte.
However the son of the Duke requested that Commandino prepare a Latin translation of Euclid 's Elements and he set to work enthusiastically on this major task.
He took up this appointment in June 1534 but on 25 September 1534 Pope Clement died and Commandino then went to the University of Padua.
The next step forward from the efforts of Commandino and del Monte was that of Galileo in 1606 when he developed the proportional compass into a type of slide-rule.
While in Rome he became friendly with Cardinal Cervini and when Cervini was elected Pope Marcello II in 1555 it looked as if Commandino would prosper with personal favours from the Pope.
The next step forward from the efforts of Commandino and Guidobaldo was that of Galileo in 1606 when he developed the proportional compass into a type of slide-rule.
His"Perspectivae libri sex" provided a definitive and often original analysis of themathematics of perspective projection, in a far more extended way than either Commandino or Benedetti had aimed to do.
These two works were published in Bologna but Commandino did not spend long in that city since Cardinal Farnese died on 28 October 1565, after which Commandino returned to Urbino.
Bernardino Baldi, who was a student of Commandino in the latter part of his life and wrote a short biography of him in 1587, claimed that he studied philosophy and medicine at Padua from 1534 to 1544 but one should not suppose that this means that he was a student for ten years.
However Pope Marcello II died shortly after his election and Commandino continued in the service of the Duke of Urbino and Cardinal Farnese but he now returned to Urbino to carry out his duties.
The reason that this was relevant was that the dowry that Commandino had to find for his two daughters had taken nearly all his capital and so to continue publishing his editions of the classical mathematical texts he required continued support from Cardinal Farnese, his patron, and he also hoped for a promise of support in his old age.
