Thomas Blundeville (522 - 1606) was an English humanist writer and mathematician. He is known for work on logic, astronomy, education and horsemanship, as well as for translations from the Italian. His later works were directed towards geography, navigation and travel. The Exercises (1594) collected six treatises on practical skills, with a serious effort to be up-to-date. He described the world map of Petrus Plancius, Molyneux's globes, the work of John Blagrave and Gemma Frisius, and the cross-staff of Thomas Hood.
