(32 x 20 cm). (20) 294 (1) S. Mit zahlreichen figürlichen und schematischen Textholzschnitten. Halbpergamentband des 18. Jahrhunderts. Erste separat veröffentlichte Ausgabe. Sie erschien im gleichen Jahr als zweiter Teil von Santbechs Regiomontan-Ausgabe. Die von Houzeau-Lancaster erwähnte Ausgabe von 1542 konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden und wurde auch von Zinner verneint (vgl. Zinner 1807). - "Daniel Santbech's Problemata is a miscellaneous work in mixed mathematics, including astronomy, gnomonics, perspective, surveying, gunnery and navigation. The unifying element in such a wide range of disciplines is the instrument called the geometric quadrant. According to Lynn Thorndike, Santbech showed appreciation both for specific aspects of Copernicus's work, such as lunar theory, and for the Prutenic Tables, but he ignored cosmological issues. Copernicus is mentioned many times. - Virtually nothing is known about Santbech, apart from the fact that he published, in addition to this work, an edition of Regiomontanus's 'De triangulis' (Basel, 1561). The title-page calls Santbech 'Noviomagus', and this is generally interpreted as meaning 'of Nijmegen', but Andreas Kleinert reports that Santbech could be from Speyer of Neumagen, a small town near Trier" (Astronomical Images, University of Cambridge). - Die Holzschnitte des reich illustrierten Werkes zeigen schematische astronomische Abbildungen, 12 hübsche Tierkreiszeichen, die Konstruktion von Sonnenuhren, Abbildungen zur Ballistik und zur Feldmesskunst sowie die Herstellung geographischer Karten. - Exlibris. Titel mit braunen Flecken. Die Lagen B und C etwas gebräunt und mit kleinem Wasserrand in der rechten oberen Ecke. Einband etwas fleckig und bestoßen. Insgesamt schönes und gut erhaltenes Exemplar. - VD16 S1646; Houzeau-Lancaster 2500; Zinner 2273.
