Abbot Théophile MOREUX[Argent-sur-Sauldre /Cher 1867 - 1954] - A true scientist, at once astronomer, meteorologist, photographer, mathematician, geographer. Ordained a priest in BOURGES in 1891, he taught there in Saint-Célestin, while conducting his scholarly research - Most of his work would focus on the sun. He had an original Moorish-style observatory built in BOURGES in 1909. Signed autograph manuscript "Abbé Th. MOREUX Director of the Observatory of BOURGES", 4 pages large in-8, of an article that was used for printing (many layout indications), entitled "Le problème de la pluie et les inondations." Numerous observations and studies of meteorological facts. Presentations of data and reports from scientists - Taking notes from his book "The Solar Problem". One of his conclusions is that "the key to our meteorology is, without a doubt, the study of the sun. This conclusion, which I have supported for twenty years and which threatens to become my delenda, is Carthago, I will maintain it despite all the meteorologists on Earth. It is in the fluctuation of the activity of the star "on whose rays our globe is suspended" that we must seek the secret of the apparent vicissitudes of our climate".
