Softcover. Condition: Fair. Misc. (illustrator). 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?

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.

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.

First Edition. Venice: Bonetus Locatellus for Octavianus Scotus, 1490]. After Manilius's Astronomica, Sacrobosco's Sphaera was the first printed book on astronomy (Ferrara: 1472).

Written about 1220, De Sphaera is "a small work based on Ptolemy and his Arabic commentators.antedating the De sphaera of Grosseteste. It was quite generally adopted as the fundamental astronomy text, for often it was so clear that it needed little or no explanation. It was first used at the University of Paris.and from the middle of the thirteenth century it was taught in all the schools of Europe. In the sixteenth century it gained the attention of mathematicians, including Clavius. As late as the seventeenth century it was used as a basic astronomy text" (DSB XII, p. 61). BMC V, p. 438. Goff J-409. HBS 68493. $13,500.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. The first printing of Matteo's second translation into Italian of De sphaera mundi, with annotations and commentaries on other interpretations in compliance with the Church's opposition to Copernicus (which were less carefully stated in his 1537 Italian version). 219 pp. [lacking leaves 2d3 and 2d4, i.e. pp. 213-216]. Hardcover, bound in modern full red morocco by Domenach with marbled slipcase. A neatly restored copy, the edges trimmed, text block washed, the last few leaves with marginal repairs.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 8vo (159 x 105mm). [16], 207pp, [15] (of [17]) pages; lacks the final blank. Signatures: *(8), a-n(8), A(8). Woodcut printer's device of fleur-de lis. Dedicated Thomas Gadagne of Lyon. With commentary by Élie Vinet (1509-1587), humanist of Bordeaux, and Giovanni Pierio Valeriano Bolzani. Numerous in-text woodcut illustrations and astronomical diagrams; but lacking the volvelles. Contemporary limp vellum; (recased, endpapers renewed; slight marginal dampstaining and occasional browning). Early 17th-century ownership inscriptions and names to title in Latin, "Canonici" could refer to "Canon" teachings and suggests a student association. The date "1642" is written on the bottom fore-edge and "1781" on the top fore-edge of the book, perhaps giving a range to this association. Sacrobosco's Sphaera was widely copied in manuscript form and was also one the first scientific works to be published in 1472. It was particularly valued for its textbook knowledge. The Sphaera underwent more than 200 successive editions, up to the 17th century. Sacrobosco's popular, illustrated astronomical tract, the 'Sphaera' with commentary by Vinet, a textbook favorite for early humanists. This Giunta edition, augmented by mathematician Élie Vinet, was designed as a textbook for students competent in mathematics and geometry; but Vinet also combined his philological notes with parallel passages from ancient poets and elementary manuals. Interestingly, it is known that parts of Sacrobosco's text survive in student notes contemporary to this period. Vinet's translations into Latin and the vernacular as well as his short commentary all show the use of the Sphaera at an elementary level. This humanist approach to Sacrobosco was much resisted at first but importantly Vinet's contributions paved the way for other commentators, most famously Christoph Clavius, to also make their additions. Seven copies are located at in US institutions and nine copies are located at European institutions, rather rarely found. Baudrier VI, p. 322-323; Houzeau and Lancaster 1657.
