Superb facsimile of Apianus' Astronomicon

Item Details

Description

Heading: (Astronomy)
Author: Apianus
Title: Astronomicon Caesareum
Place Published: Leipzig
Publisher:
Date Published: 1967
Description:

[118] pp. With numerous working volvelles in color, plus other color illustrations. 44.5x31 cm (17½x12¼"), full pigskin lettered in gilt. One of 750 copies.

Superb facsimile of the 1540 original edition of Apianus's lavish work on Ptolemaic astronomy, complete with working volvelles. This facsimile was made from Tycho Brahe's own personal copy, and it was originally published together with a volume of explanatory text, not present here. Owen Gingerich somewhat modestly calls the 1540 original "the most spectacular contribution of the book-maker's art to sixteenth-century science"; indeed the work is arguably the grandest and most elaborate scientific book ever published.

Condition

Slight rubbing to covers, near fine.
