Jean Pigeon d'Osangis (born 1654, Donzy; died 1739) was a French physicist and mathematician, noted for the construction of planispheres. In the University of Wrocław's map collection, there survives one of only two remaining examples of a 7-cm terrestrial pocket globe that Pigeon published in 1717. He was the father of Marie Anne Victoire Pigeon. He was a member of the Paris Society of Arts.

  • Jean Pigeon d'Osangis, né à Donzy en 1654 et décédé probablement[évasif] à Paris en 1739, était un mécanicien français connu pour les sphères mouvantes qu'il fut le premier à construire, sur base des théories astronomiques de Nicolas Copernic. Il est le père de Marie Anne Victoire Pigeon, connue sous le nom de Mme de Premontval, célèbre mathématicienne dont il sut développer les prédispositions scientifiques[réf. souhaitée], le beau-père de Pierre Le Guay de Prémontval.

  • Jean Pigeon (1654 – 1739) è stato un fisico francese. Fisico e meccanico francese, costruì, tra le altre cose, un pendolo assai innovativo e un globo con una particolare montatura. È soprattutto ricordato per la realizzazione di un planisfero per calcolare le distanze e le grandezze dei pianeti secondo il sistema copernicano. Fu autore di una Description d'une sphère mouvante, pubblicata a Parigi nel 1714. Va probabilmente attribuita al Pigeon una sfera armillare posseduta dal Museo Galileo di Firenze. (it)
