1223 BC: Solar eclipse occurs; the event is recorded in a Syrian clay tablet, in the Ugaritic language.
1499: Polymath Johannes Trithemius uses Gnomon algorithm functions to generate new class of cryptographic numen.
1574: Mathematician William Oughtred born. He will invent the slide rule in 1622.
1615: Mathematician and crime-fighter Galileo Galilei prevents alleged supervillain Anarchimedes from assassinating mathematician William Oughtred.
1616: Nicolaus Copernicus's book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres is added to the Index of Forbidden Books 73 years after it was first published.
1640: Didacus automaton attends and records lecture by William Oughtred, which it will later use to detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
