On his deathbed, Peuerbach made Regiomontanus promise to complete the work, which he did, although the new translation of Ptolemy was not carried out.

Regiomontanus, it is true, planned to publish him, but, where other texts Regiomontanus had planned to publish appeared in print in due course, Theodoric’s little treatise did not.

Regiomontanus had a very picturesque career, finally taking up his residence in Nuremberg, where a wealthy citizen named Walther became his patron, pupil, and collaborator.

This Johannus Regiomontanus, a Franconian, has proved, with a skill hitherto equalled only by that of those who proved the ninth sphere, which travels from west to east.

The invitation was accepted on condition that his pupil Regiomontanus should go with him.
