Corsono Carsono

Corsono Carsono

Corsono Carsono was a Spanish astronomer of the fourteenth century.

He was commissioned by King Pedro IV of Aragon to translate from Catalonian into Hebrew the astronomical tables known as "The Tables of Don Pedro", which, at Don Pedro's command, had been begun by Maestre Piero Gilebert, and finished by Gilebert's pupil, Dalmacio de Planis.

About 1376 Carsono wrote at Seville a treatise in Arabic on the astrolabe. This he himself translated into Hebrew at Barcelona in 1378. Chayyim ibn Musa ascribes kabbalistic miracles to Carsono.
