Jerónimo Muñoz es uno de los científicos más destacados de la historia valenciana y española. Fue catedrático de hebreo en la Universidad de Ancona y de matemáticas y astronomía en las de Valencia y de Salamanca. En su época disfrutó de un enorme prestigio en España y en Europa, sobre todo gracias a sus trabajos sobre la supernova de 1572, citados y comentados por algunos de los mejores astrónomos europeos. Trabajos que aún hoy en día mantienen su interés para los astrofísicos que estudian el remanente de este fenómeno. El primer mapa del entonces reino de Valencia, editado por Abraham Ortelio en Amberes, se basó en los trabajos de Muñoz y se puede considerar obra suya. La labor de Muñoz fue continuada por sus discípulos, profesores en Valencia y Salamanca o cosmógrafos al servicio de la Corona en el Consejo de Indias. El objeto del libro es el estudio de las obras impresas y manuscritas de Jerónimo Muñoz, y de su biografía y personalidad intelectual.

Works that even today maintain his interest for astrophysicists who study the remnant of this phenomenon. The first map of the then kingdom of Valencia, edited by Abraham Ortelio in Antwerp, was based on the work of Muñoz and can be considered his work. Muñoz's work was continued by his disciples, professors in Valencia and Salamanca or cosmographers at the service of the Crown in the Council of the Indies. The object of the book is the study of the printed and handwritten works of Jerónimo Muñoz, and of his biography and intellectual personality." - Google translate
