DIEN (Charles). Uranographie dressée sous l'Inspection de Monsieur Bouvard, Astronome, Membre de l'Institut, du Bureau des Longitudes. Paris, Auvray, 1831. 3 grandes feuilles gravées sur taille-douce, entoilées et portant l'étiquette imprimée d'Auvray avec titre manuscrit ŕ l'encre brune (Hémisphčre Boréal, Zone, Hémisphčre Austral). Signature autographe de l'auteur ŕ l'encre brune sur la feuille centrale. Premičre édition. Charles Dien (1809-1870), cartographe et graveur parisien, réalise cette grande carte céleste sous l'autorité scientifique d'Alexis Bouvard (1767-1843), directeur de l'Observatoire de Paris, membre de l'Académie des sciences et du Bureau des Longitudes. Bouvard était alors au faîte de sa réputation : ses tables astronomiques pour Jupiter, Saturne et Uranus - et les anomalies irréductibles de ces derničres - allaient conduire ŕ la prédiction puis ŕ la découverte de Neptune par Adams et Le Verrier, aprčs sa mort. La réduction des positions stellaires a été confiée ŕ M. Marion, calculateur au Bureau des Longitudes. L'Uranographie se déploie en trois feuilles complémentaires. L'hémisphčre boréal et l'hémisphčre austral sont représentés en projection polaire stéréographique, figurant quelque 1 500 étoiles dont les magnitudes sont différenciées par la taille des symboles ; les étoiles doubles et les nébuleuses les plus remarquables y sont spécifiquement signalées. La feuille de la Zone déroule la bande équatoriale organisée selon les mois du calendrier (d'octobre ŕ novembre), permettant de repérer les constellations zodiacales - Scorpion, Sagittaire, Cancer, Capricorne - dont les noms figurent en français. Deux tableaux marginaux enrichissent l'ensemble : l'un détaille les distances orbitales et diamčtres relatifs des plančtes, l'autre recense les satellites de Jupiter, de Saturne et d'Uranus. La dédicace ŕ Bouvard, composée en caractčres calligraphiés d'une grande élégance typographique, est imprimée sur la feuille centrale comme "hommage de respect et de reconnaissance de l'Auteur." Bon état général, les défauts sont mineurs. Exemplaire proposé dans son etui cartonné de l'époque (l'étui est en état moyen). ??? DIEN (Charles). Uranographie dressée sous l'Inspection de Monsieur Bouvard, Astronome, Membre de l'Institut, du Bureau des Longitudes. Paris, Auvray, Quai Malaquais, No. 11, 1831. First edition. Three large engraved sheets mounted on linen, each preserved in its original cloth slipcase bearing Auvray's printed label with handwritten title (Hémisphčre Boréal, Zone, Hémisphčre Austral). Approx. 80 x 111 cm per sheet. Autograph signature of the author in brown ink on the central sheet. The map was created by Charles Dien (1809-1870) under the scientific supervision of Alexis Bouvard (1767-1843), director of the Paris Observatory and member of the Académie des sciences. Star positions were reduced by M. Marion, calculator at the Bureau des Longitudes. The three sheets depict the northern and southern hemispheres in stereographic polar projection, an equatorial band organized by calendar month, and marginal tables listing planetary data and satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. The autograph signature and survival of all three original cloth slipcases make this an exceptionally rare and well-preserved example.

In 4? grande (mm 300x230); pagg, 7 con 16 tavole in rame su carta forte, di cui 4 numerate, poi numeri romani da I-X, 1 non num., 1 ripiegata doppia staccata dalla legatura alla fine del tomo, ripiegata pi? volte, che mostra tutta la volta celeste occultata dalla luna. Legatura in cartone muto coevo, carta decorata al dorso. Le carte celesti sono su doppia pagina. Bell'esemplare con tracce d'uso agli spigoli, tracce di sporco superficiale ai piatti, ex libris al contropiatto ant.Comprendere e rappresentare i segreti del cosmo Ë un traguardo a cui l'uomo aspira sin dai tempi pi? remoti e gli atlanti celesti, gi? dal XVI secolo, epoca in cui inizia l'et? d'oro della cartografia celeste, rappresentano capolavori dell'ingegno umano, realizzati con grande fascino dove arte e conoscenze scientifiche si sono fusi in maniera eccezionale; ovviamente negli atlanti si inseriscono retaggi religioso-culturali, nelle interpretazioni pi? o meno fantasiose dei fenomeni celesti e alla evoluzione della conoscenza dell'universo. Nell'Ottocento furono costruiti telescopi ottici, molto pi? efficienti di quei cannocchiali galileiani del '600, e furono realizzate nuove scoperte, tra le quali gli asteroidi e il pianeta Nettuno. Con l'invenzione del telescopio l'uomo Ë riuscito ad indagare pi? a fondo sulle dinamiche celesti, aprendo finalmente una finestra sull'universo e le sue regole. Questo atlante Ë stato destinato a facilitare la ricerca e l'osservazione di comete, nebulose e pianeti al telescopio; il formato delle tavole, pi? grande rispetto agli atlanti precedenti, rendeva pi? facile la fruizione della posizione delle stelle dell'anno 1860, come citato a pag. 6; la proiezione adottata degli astri Ë quella sferica Ë stata preferita a quella rettilinea dell'atlante di Harding. Non vi sono pi? figure antropomorfe e di animali nella volta celeste, ma sono raffigurate le posizioni delle stelle secondo gradi e scale scientifiche. A fianco di ogni incisione ognuna corrispondente ad un segno zodiacale troviamo al margine la legenda. Si tratta di uno dei primi atlanti celesti francesi dopo quello del '700 di Flamsteed edito da Fortin. Charles Dien fu ingegnere, meccanico di globi e sfere celesti; si interessÚ di cartografia e astronomia.Ancora oggi a distanza di secoli dalla loro realizzazione, queste carte sono capaci di trasmetterci lo straordinario messaggio per il quale sono state concepite.

Rare mid-19th century Charles Dien celestial table globe. The globe measures 11.5 inches in diameter with an engraved longitude ring and brass latitude ring. Mounted on brass and mahogany stand. The globe contains twelve bodies including the sun and earth with its moon.ÂThe entire piece measures 18 inches in height. French astronomer and cosmographer Charles Dien published highly detailed atlases, works on astronomy, and both celestial and terrestrial globes in Paris throughout the 1840s and 1850s. Dien was also renowned for the sophisticated engravings he designed for the many books produced by his father's publishing house Delamarche. In very good condition with a few areas rubbed and slight bend in the longitude ring. Rare and desirable. The sphericity of the Earth was established by Greek astronomers in the 3rd century BC, with the earliest terrestrial globe appearing during that period. The earliest known globe was constructed by Crates of Mallus in Cilicia (now Ăukurova in modern-day Turkey) in the mid-2nd century B.C.E. Now known as the Erdapfel, the earliest extant terrestrial globe was produced in 1492 by German mapmaker, navigator, and merchant Martin Behaim in Nuremberg, Germany. Traditionally, globes were manufactured by gluing a printed paper map onto a sphere, often made from wood.
