"Hans Lippershey (1570 \u2013 buried 29 September 1619), also known as Johann Lippershey or Lipperhey, was a German-Dutch spectacle-maker. He is commonly associated with the invention of the telescope, although it is unclear if he was the first to build one."@en . . . . . . . . "Hans Lippershey"@en . . . "1619Z"^^ . "Dutch inventor" .
