Hardback, cxl + 788 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, 26 tables b/w., Language(s):Latin, German. *new ISBN 9782503612003. Summary Calendar calculations held a significant place in medieval education. They were used to determine movable feasts like Easter and Pentecost for a given year, calculate the day of the week for specific dates, and determine the moon's age, i.e., how many days had passed since the last new moon. Various tools were employed for these tasks, including key numbers for years, months, and festivals, calculation rules with or without the use of fingers, tables, and mnemonic verses. Given the importance of calendar calculations, it is not surprising that numerous contemporary texts comprehensively covered this subject. The current edition includes 15 texts from the period 1103 to 1232, 14 of which have not been printed before. Only the most successful of these texts, written by Johannes de Sacrobosco, was first printed in 1538 and subsequently in many other editions. The rich content of the texts published here is made accessible through several indexes, including an alphabetical subject index. Die Kalenderrechnung hatte im mittelalterlichen Unterricht ihren festen Platz. Mit ihr konnte man f r ein vorgegebenes Jahr die beweglichen Feste wie Ostern und Pfingsten bestimmen, aber auch beispielsweise ausrechnen, welchen Wochentag ein bestimmtes Datum hatte oder wie alt der Mond dann war, d.h. wie viele Tage seit dem letzten Neumond vergangen waren. F r diese Aufgaben wurden verschiedene Hilfsmittel eingesetzt. Es gab Kennzahlen f r Jahre, Monate und Feste, Rechenvorschriften mit oder ohne Zuhilfenahme der Finger, Tabellen und Merkverse. Bei dem hohen Stellenwert, den die Kalenderrechnung hatte, verwundert es nicht, dass zahlreiche zeitgen ssische B cher das Gebiet gesamthaft darstellten. Die vorliegende Edition enth lt 15 Texte aus der Zeit von 1103 bis 1232, von denen 14 bisher nicht gedruckt vorliegen. Lediglich der erfolgreichste dieser Texte, verfasst von Johannes de Sacrobosco, wurde erstmals 1538 und dann in vielen weiteren Auflagen gedruckt. Der reiche Inhalt der hier ver ffentlichten Texte wird durch mehrere Indizes erschlossen, zu denen insbesondere auch ein alphabetisches Sachregister geh rt.

Condition: Buona. libro, xilografia. In 8° (cm 17), cc. 103. Al frontespizio si conserva una delle più celebri e riconoscibili marche tipografiche del Cinquecento, raffigurante una gallina, insegna caratteristica della stamperia parigina di Guillaume Cavellat (1520/25 - 1576), attiva nel cuore di Parigi e nota proprio attraverso il celebre motto e contrassegno In Pingui Gallina (Alla gallina grassa). *L'edizione del 1557b ottiene, come esplicitato al verso del frontespizio, il privilegio nell'anno 1555 (esiste anche un'edizione veneziana edita nello stesso anno: 1557a). La distinzione fra le due emissioni assume particolare rilevanza nell'identificazione bibliografica dell'esemplare e ne definisce con precisione la collocazione all'interno della complessa fortuna editoriale della Sphæra nel corso del XVI secolo. Presente al verso della prima carta di guardia ex libris Biblioteca del Excmo. Senor Marques de Astorga, da identificarsi, con ogni probabilità con Gómez Dávila Y Toledo (1541-1616), famoso collezionista. La prefazione di Filippo Melanto (1497-1560), datata erroneamente agosto 1540, è in realtà del 1531. Si tratta della celebre prefazione composta per la Sphæra di Sacrobosco originariamente associata all'edizione wittenberghense del 1531 e successivamente riproposta, con diverse modalità, nella tradizione editoriale dell'opera. La presenza di tre volvelle correttamente montate giustifica l'assenza dell'ultima carta con le sezioni da tagliare e successivamente montare sulle illustrazioni xilografiche. Le volvelle, propriamente integrate nell'apparato figurativo delle edizioni del trattato, costituiscono una caratteristica di particolare interesse materiale e scientifico degli esemplari antichi dell'opera. La loro corretta conservazione e il loro effettivo montaggio conferiscono al presente esemplare un particolare interesse bibliografico, soprattutto considerando la natura funzionale di questi elementi mobili all'interno della tradizione dei testi astronomici illustrati. Legatura in piena pelle non coeva con tracce d'uso; fregi impressi in oro ai piatti; tassello marocchino con indicazioni su autore e titolo dell'opera impressi in oro al dorso; risguardi marmorizzati. L'opera è una delle più celebri edizioni scolastiche e scientifiche del Rinascimento. La Sphæra di Giovanni di Sacrobosco rappresentò per secoli uno dei testi fondamentali per l'insegnamento dell'astronomia nelle università europee e conobbe una straordinaria fortuna editoriale, venendo ripetutamente stampata, commentata, corretta e ampliata nel corso dei secoli. Il trattato, fondato sulla tradizione astronomica e cosmologica aristotelico-tolemaica, rimase un testo di riferimento anche nel XVI secolo, quando la pubblicazione del De revolutionibus di Copernico aveva ormai introdotto nel dibattito scientifico europeo il nuovo modello eliocentrico. Proprio tale persistenza conferisce particolare interesse all'edizione qui descritta, che documenta materialmente la continuità della tradizione astronomica geocentrica nel pieno della prima età copernicana. L'edizione qui descritta si colloca in una fase particolarmente significativa di tale tradizione, quelle delle revisioni curate da Elie Vinet per Guillaume Cavellat, alle quali si aggiungono il Compendium in Sphæram di Pierio Valeriano e la dimostrazione di Pedro Nunes relativa alla questione dei climi trattata nell'ultimo capitolo della Sphæra a testimonianza del continuo aggiornamento e dell'attenzione di cui godeva il testo. Presenti numerose capilettera, illustrazioni e testatine xilografiche entro il testo. Stato di conservazione generale buono: gore d'acqua (visibili principalmente agli angoli superiori e inferiori del margine destro dal frontespizio fino alla c.9 e alla c.31), tracce di foxing e lieve imbrunimento delle carte. Si notifica la presenza di annotazioni manoscritte a grafite alle prime due carte di guardia e nota manoscritta ad inchiostro bruno al margine superiore del frontespizio. Terza volvella non mobile.

Sammelband containing the first editions of two significant astronomical textbooks: an influential edition of Sacrobosco's De Sphaera with scholia by the Renaissance humanist Ãlie Vinet, supplement by Giovan Pietro Pierio Valeriano, and treatise on climates by Pedro Nuñez; and Caspar Peucer's Elementa Doctrinae de Circulis Coelestibus. Unsophisticated in contemporary vellum. The Tractatus de Sphaera was the most important astronomy textbook of the medieval and early modern period. Composed around 1230 by Johannes de Sacrobosco, a scholar at the University of Paris, it circulated in manuscript for over two centuries, becoming in 1472 one of the first scientific books to be printed. By the early 17th century, right up to the time of Newton, more than two hundred editions had been published. Sacrobosco is here 'mainly concerned with the circles on the sphere â" the equator, the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, the ecliptic, the meridian and horizon. It is often said that the book is a simple version of Ptolemy's Almagest (140 C.E.), but there very little of what we call Ptolemaic astronomy in it â" a single mention of epicycles and deferents, with no indication of how to use them to predict planetary motion' (Ashworth, 'Johannes de Sacrobosco', Linda Hall Library). Of particular importance for the history of science, Sacrobosco argues 'every which way from Sunday that the Earth is a sphere' and his figure for the Earth's circumference, 25,000 miles, comes close to the modern calculation (Ashworth). Caspar Peucer (1525-1602) was a student and son-in-law of Melanchthon who became a leading mathematician, and astronomer at the University of Wittenburg, as well as advisor and physician to the Elector of Saxony. His Elementa Doctrinae was a basic textbook on spherical astronomy that took the geocentric position. It was successful, being republished several times. First editions; 8vo; volume I with woodcut publisher's device to the title and woodcuts throughout the text, volume II with woodcut publisher's device, woodcuts throughout, and 6 folding tables, contemporary manuscript note to the front blank, light spotting throughout, mild dampstain affecting the lower margins of some leaves at the rear, head of the 6th folding table cleanly cut away and loosely inserted, some adhesive and spots and paper remnants to the centers of the volvelles in volume I, none of which are complete, contemporary vellum, title to spine gilt on vellum label, red speckled edges, label partially lacking, ends of spines worn with damage to the endcaps, very good condition.…

Softcover. Condition: Fair. A remarkable survivor, clearly a student's copy of Sacrobosco's Libellus de Sphaera, printed in 1558, with the student's inscription at the bottom of the title page, and a question and answer styled study guide bound at the rear (1560, by Hartmann Beyer). The shared shelfmark from the title page to the binding indicates the wallet-style binding may be contemporary to the book. Also, this copy still retaining its broadside with the locations of the sun updated (since the 365.25 days per calendar year causes yearly drift in the location of the sun by day, since the true day is slightly shorter). Sacrobosco's work was first produced around 1230, a text book dedicated to spherical astronomy. Although Sacrobosco did use the Earth as central to all rotation, his methods of finding the locations of stars, the sun and moon based on elliptical patterns was fairly reliable and became the standard of students for centuries to come. He also correctly identified the world as a sphere. By 1558, the idea of the Earth as the center of the universe was largely dispelled, but Sacrobosco's calculations and tables were so good that they were yet to be replaced, so academies were updating to accommodate the new science. This copy has the commentary and editing of several 16th century scholars, Philip Melanchthon and Erasmus Reinhold, as well as a second book with commentary of Hartmann Beyer. The university usage of this copy is clear, and to be noted. The scholar, one Wolfgang, notes at the bottom of the title page that he is studying physics. The 17th century date of study denotes that an older book was still acceptable in studies. Yet, despite the later date, the binding contains both the 1558 Sacrobosco, and (essentially) a 1560 study guide, posing the question, "Has this book been used for study before Wolfgang wrote in it?" A mystery is the Cistercian monastery also holding the work. Did they possess the book before or after Wolfgang? Or, was it from a different Cistercian monastery that was dissolved during the protestant reformation years leading up to Wolfgang's study?

Large woodcut 'sphaera mundi' to a1 verso, several ½-page woodcut diagrams: 1 of heavenly spheres (a2 verso), 1 of eclipses (c1 verso) and 29 of 'theoricae' (7 in green or yellow original colouring), 6 small woodcut diagrams, large ms diagram of climatic zones inked to a1 blank and copious interlinear ms annotations in an early C16 Germanic hand to first 2 gatherings, decorated initials. Few ll. just toned, fore-edge of a1 trimmed, mainly marginal finger-soiling to first few ll., minor water stain at upper blank gutter of first 4 gatherings, first two ll. strengthened at gutter. A very good, well-margined copy in C19 vellum over paper boards, extremities a bit rubbed. Very good, well-margined and handsomely illustrated copy of the first edition of this important collection on Ptolemaic astronomy intended for students, and the most widely used of the early modern period. Johannes de Sacrobosco (or Holywood, 1195-1256) was a monk and astronomer who taught at Paris. His ground-breaking works were extremely influential in the medieval period; they focused on astronomy and mathematics including the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, a study of the shortcomings of the Julian calendar (anticipating C16 debates) and his treatise 'Sphaera mundi'. First published in 1472, it was reprinted dozens of times in Europe throughout the C15. It discusses the earth in relation to the geocentric Ptolemaic universe, touching on subjects including its physical composition, geometrical realization, its (as it were) sphericity, the revolution of the heavens and the zodiac in relation to sunrise and sunset, the meaning of zenith and climate zones. Johannes Regiomontanus (Müller von Königsberg, 1436-76) studied at Leipzig and Vienna, devoting himself to commentaries on ancient texts on arithmetic and astronomy. He established the first astronomical observatory in Nuremberg. His work argues against the 'deliramenta' of Gherardus Cremonensis's Ptolemaic 'Theorica Planetarum', written in the C12 and the most important manual of astronomy used in Faculties of Arts. Structured as a dialogue between two scholars, it concerns calculations relating to very specific points of the Ptolemaic system, e.g., epicycles and longitude, with the help of geometrical diagrams. The last work'Theoricae novae planetarum'was written by Georgius Purbach (von Peuerbach, 1423-61), an Austrian astronomer and mathematician, acquainted with Regiomontanus. It is a clear introduction to the Ptolemaic universe which discusses the sun and moon, theories of the polar axis and astronomical connections between the moon and the motions of other planets. The early C16 annotator of 'Sphaera mundi' was probably one of the 'novicii adolescentes' (young students) to whom the works were addressed. He applied sundry learning techniques, which shed light on the teaching of astronomy: the typically medieval and early modern interlinear paraphrasis (the rewriting of a concept using synonyms, e.g., 'ascensu' for 'ortu'); marginal glosses (e.g., the astronomical concept of 'annus bisextilis', a clarification of the meaning of 'opposition' for the zodiac); and the clarification of sources (e.g., the specific book in which Euclid discusses the geometrical 'sphaera'). A most interesting copy.

First edition edited by Pedro Ciruelo. Paris, Joannis Petit, 1515. En folio. Tipografía gótica a dos tamaños. Texto a dos columnas. 78 ff. [i.e.76]. Marca del impresor Petit en la portada, xilografía de esfera armillar en verso de a5 rodeada por Astronomía, Urania y Ptolomeo, mapa del cielo y las estrellas en b5r, mapa de los trópicos en l1r, otras xilografías al texto incluyendo la representación de los eclipses, figuras geométricas, etc. Encuadernación en pergamino moderno. Magnífica edición de la "Esfera del Mundo", la obra básica de astronomía, anotada y adicionada por el aragonés Pedro Ciruelo. Antes del texto hay unos versos latinos de Pedro de Lerma Burgense, sigue la dedicatoria a Jacobo Ramírez de Guzmán y a Alfonso Ossorio, y un erudito discurso sobre las ciencias matemáticas. Sacrobosco fue un eminente autor del siglo XIII nacido en Inglaterra y conocido como John Holywood; fue el primero en calcular las discrepancias existentes entre el calendario Juliano y el calendario solar actual, proponiendo un remedio prácticamente idéntico al que puso en práctica el Papa Gregorio XIII en el siglo dieciséis. La obra de Sacrobosco toma numerosas ideas de Ptolomeo, pero a la vez muestra un gran conocimiento de las obras de los astrónomos arábigos medievales; incluye la descripción, naturaleza y forma de la tierra, la división de ella en sus zonas climáticas, y el posicionamiento de las estrellas. Ciruelo hizo sobre el texto de Sacrobosco numerosas consideraciones matemáticas, astronómicas y filosóficas. Pedro Ciruelo (1470-1548) nació y empezó sus estudios en Daroca, los terminó en Salamanca y pasó posteriormente a perfeccionarse a París, en cuya universidad fue acogido muy favorablemente por sus conocimientos matemáticos, que le reputaron merecida fama en todo Europa. Regresó Ciruelo a España en 1509, después de haber pasado diez años en París. Valuable folio edition of Sacrobosco's famous Spera with additions and commentaries by Pedro Ciruelo. Sacrobosco discussed the Earth and its place in the Universe. It was required reading by students in all Western European universities for the next four centuries. Very good copy.…
