Thomas Lydiat (1572 – 3 April 1646) was a clergyman and mathematician in England. In his time he was noted as a chronologer and was an opponent in controversy of Scaliger. He is now considered, albeit in a very different type of theory, to have provided in 1605 a clear suggestion of an oval orbit in astronomy, anticipating Johannes Kepler, with whom he also had a controversial exchange relating to chronology.

| - Thomas Lydiat est un mathématicien anglais, né à (comté d’Oxford) en 1572 et mort en 1646. Il entra dans les ordres, s’adonna particulièrement à l’étude de l’astronomie et des mathématiques, qu’il enseigna pendant quelque temps, puis devint chronologiste et cosmographe du prince Henry, fils aîné de Jacques Ier. En 1609, il alla professer au collège de Dublin, puis devint recteur à Alkerton. Très-attaché à la cause de Charles Ier, il eut, pendant la guerre civile, beaucoup à souffrir des troupes du parlement, qui le firent à deux reprises prisonnier. Il mourut dans la misère. (fr)

His contemporaries ranked him with Joseph Mede and Francis Bacon. His ultimate poverty, certainly exaggerated, furnished Samuel Johnson with an allusion in his poem on the Vanity of Human Wishes.
