Johannes Campanus, one of the leading minds of the "left wing" of the Reformation in the Lower Rhine area (duchy of Jülich), leaning toward a spiritualistic interpretation of Christian thought, thus belonging to the group of "spiritual reformers" (like Sebastian Franck or Bünderlin).
Campanus belonged to the group of humanistically trained theologians (upon whom Erasmus had some influence) who between 1520 and 1535 shifted so much in their position from Catholicism to Lutheranism, then into the direction of Anabaptism (untheological, Biblical Christianity), and finally to a free and near gnostic Christianity.
Campanus was never an aggressive promoter of his ideas; he was more the "idealistic" (that is, unrealistic) scholar and dreamer, and as such less offensive to the nobles of the Rhineland than the consistent and practical Anabaptists.
Johannes Campanus (in Italian, Giovanni Campano; also known as Campanus of Novara or similar) (1220-1296) was an Italian astrologer, astronomer, and mathematician who devised a house system for the horoscope which bears his name.
Campanus probably also had access to the Latin translation of Euclid's work executed around 1120 by Adelard of Bath.
Campanus gave precise instructions on using the tables, and made detailed calculations of the distances to the planets and their sizes.
