Ritter, Franz
Franz Ritter (15??-1641), also known as 'Franciscum,' was a German mathematician, cartographer, and astronomer active in Nuremberg during the first half of the 17th century. In cartographic circles Ritter is admired for his introduction of an unusual gnomonic projection. Ritter's took no apprentices and consequently many of his cartographic innovations were forgotten after his death.
