- Leonard Digges (c.1515 – c.1559) was a well-known English mathematician and surveyor, credited with the invention of the theodolite, and a great populariser of science through his writings in English on surveying, cartography, and military engineering. His birth date is variously suggested as c.1515 or c.1520 (but certainly by 1530). Much of his work was expanded on, annotated, and published by his son, Thomas Digges. His son followed in his footsteps and was a pivotal player in the popularisation of Copernicus's book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. Notes written by Thomas Digges in the publication of the book Pantometria in 1570 contain descriptions of how Leonard Digges made use of a "proportional Glass" to view distant objects and people. Some, such as astronomer and historian Colin Ronan, claim this describes a reflecting or refracting telescope built between 1540 and 1559, but its vague description and claimed performance makes it dubious.

- Leonard Digges (1515 – 1559) è stato un matematico inglese. Gentiluomo inglese, Leonard Digges ebbe notevole reputazione come architetto e agrimensore. Tra i suoi scritti, ampliati e pubblicati dal figlio Thomas (c. 1546-1595), vanno segnalati il Tectonicum (Londra, 1556; versione ampliata, 1592), nel quale sono illustrati i metodi di rilevamento territoriale, e A Geometrical practical treatise named Pantometria (Londra, 1591), un testo di geometria pratica che dipendeva largamente da autori continentali come Peter Bienewitz (Apianus; 1501-1552) e Gemma Frisius (1508-1555).
