Spansk teolog. Arias studerade teologi och klassiska språk i Alcala, där han doktorerade i teologi. Han reste mycket i Europa och deltog bl.a. i kyrkomötet i Trient. Från 1568 bodde han i Antwerpen där han på kung Filip II:s befallning förestod utgivningen av den kungliga polyglottbibeln i 8 band (tryckt av Christopher Plantin 1569-72). Bandet med kommentarer, 'Apparatus Biblicus', innehåller flera kartor som belyser bibelhistorien. Arias gav även ut en rad andra teologiska skrifter, de flesta bibelkommentarer.

Doppelmayr, an acclaimed astronomer, was born in Nuremberg in 1671. He was a member of the Royal Society of London and the Academies of Berlin, Vienna and St. Petersburg.
It is not surprising that Dopplemayr collaborated with Germany’s leading map publisher Johann Baptist Homann on both the terrestrial and celestial maps included in this atlas. He visited astronomers in many countries and hence in addition to the star charts and selenographic map, the atlas includes “diagrams illustrating the planetary system of Copernicus, Tycho, and Riccilio; the ecliptic theories of Kepler, Bouliaeu, Seth Ward and Mercator; the lunar theories of Tycho, Horrocks and Newton, and Halley’s cometary theory” (DSB IV, p. 166).
