Cyprián Karásek Lvovický, known in Latin as Cyprianus Leovitius, was a Bohemian astronomer, mathematician and astrologer born in Hradec Králové in 1514, though some sources give 1524, and died in Lauingen in 1574. The son of a town councillor who later became mayor, he studied in Wrocław, Leipzig and Wittenberg, then worked in Nuremberg and in Augsburg at the court of the Fuggers. After 1556 he was professor of astronomy and mathematics at the Latin school in Lauingen, which he directed until 1566. He published several astronomical works in Latin, beginning with Tabulae eclipsum, and tried to base astrology on solid mathematical and astronomical ground.
