From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Pigeon d'Osangis (born 1654, Donzy, Nivernais; died 1739) was a French physicist and mathematician, noted for the construction of planispheres.[1][2]
He was also a globe maker.[3] In the University of Wrocław's map collection, there survives one of only two remaining examples of a 7-cm terrestrial pocket globe that Pigeon published in 1717.[4]
He was the father of Marie Anne Victoire Pigeon.
