Adrien Auzout was a French astronomer and mathematician. He was member of the Parisian ‘circle’ around Mersenne, and a fierce opponent of Hevelius (cf. 1665.10.[22], Ep. 31). He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1666, and was known for his instrumental skills and telescopic observations. See: Brown, 1967; DSB, vol. 1, pp. 341–2.
