Konradin Ferrari d'Occhieppo's entry on Johannes Angelus, Johannes Engel, in the Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography, is a dedicated academic reference. Its strength is that it confirms directly that Johannes Angelus is the printing name of the German astronomer and physician Johann Engel, and gives his birthplace, drawing on the Dictionary's own rigorous editorial standard for the history of science. Its limit is the ordinary one for a reference dictionary entry: it is a concise scholarly summary of settled biographical fact rather than an extended original study.
