Ismaël Bullialdus (French: [bylialdys]; born Ismaël Boulliau, pronounced [buljo]; 28 September 1605 – 25 November 1694) was a 17th-century French astronomer and mathematician who was also interested in history, theology, classical studies, and philology. He was an active member of the Republic of Letters, an intellectual community that exchanged ideas.
