Emery Molyneux was an English Elizabethan maker of globes, mathematical instruments and ordnance. His terrestrial and celestial globes, first published in 1592, were the first to be made in England and the first to be made by an Englishman.
Molyneux was known as a mathematician and maker of mathematical instruments such as compasses and hourglasses. He became acquainted with many prominent men of the day, including the writer Richard Hakluyt and the mathematicians Robert Hues and Edward Wright. He also knew the explorers Thomas Cavendish, Francis Drake, Walter Raleigh and John Davis. Davis probably introduced Molyneux to his own patron, the London merchant William Sanderson, who largely financed the construction of the globes.

Tysk kartograf. Han fick sin första undervisning hos jesuiterna i sin hemstad och skulle ha blivit munk men gick istället över till den evangeliska kyrkan. Bosatte sig i Nürnberg där han 1687 blev notarie. Som hobby började han på lediga stunder att kopiera kartor. Det visade sig snart att han hade betydande talang som kartritare, och 1702 grundlade han sitt eget kartförlag. Han fick snart rykte som den mest betydande av tyska kartografer, och hans kartor nådde en stor publik. Totalt ritade han 200 olika landkartor, något färre jordglober, astronomiska instrument och andra mekaniska arbeten. Hans stora världsatlas, 'Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt', kom 1716 i 126 blad, och 'Atlas methodicus' år 1719 i 18 blad. Hans son, Johann Christoph Homann, fortsatte verksamheten efter faderns död.
