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.

Item: Artickel etlicher nothwendiger Ordnung und Satzung/ zu Erhaltung guter Zucht/ newlich nach Bestetigung und Bevehl des durchleuchtigisten hochgebornen Fürsten unnd Herrn/ Herrn Augusti Churfürsten z…u Sachsen etc. Von der Universitet Wittemberg und einem erbarn Rhat publicirt. Wittenberg, durch G. Rhawen Erben, 1562. 8vo. (110,2 blank) pp. Old vellum with motto "Unum Genus Cristatum" in gilt on upper cover, probably added later. Covers lightly marked and soiled. Somewhat browned due to paper quality, and quite prominent stain affecting upper margin throughout, though not really touching text. "Vocabula" without final blank. "Vocabula" with several markings and annotations in brown ink, present in both text and margins, in a contemporary hand, some slightly cropped at outer edge. With the bookplate of Gunnar Brusewitz and two small pieces of paper with his annotations laid in. VD16 ZV 4820 and VD16 W 3736. The "Vocabula" was first published in 1544 and went through numerous editions in the following decades. According to VD16, this is the 11th. The second part of "Leges" containing the "Artickel" has its own title page, signature marks, and impressum. An appealing sammelband, undoubtly prepared for the use of a student. The "Vocabula" is a dictionary of i.a. coins and measures, edited by Paul Eber (1511-1569) and Caspar Peucer (1525-1602), which draws upon the works of Guillaume Budé, Joachim Camerarius, and Philipp Melanchthon. The following scarce tract concern the University of Wittenberg's laws and regulations and set out the standards of behaviour and discipline. Brusewitz apparently put this on his shelf on natural history to consult the names of animals included in the dictionary. One of his annotations concerns the terminology of "elk" in different languages; the other points to the section on birds.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fine. A rare later edition of Reinhold's version of Peurbach's exposition of Ptolemaic astronomy, bound with the third edition of Peucer's 'De dimensione terrae . . . '. First published in 1473, 'Theoricae novae planetarum' became the standard teaching text for astronomy for over 150 years. Following Arab ast…ronomers, Peurbach "added trepidation to Ptolemy's six motions of the celestial spheres and substituted solid crystal spheres for the hypothetical circles employed in Ptolemy's 'Almagest'" (Stillwell). This commentary by Reinhold was first published in 1542. Reinhold "was, after Copernicus, the leading mathematical astronomer of the 16th century, and in computational ability he surpassed Copernicus himself . . . Reinhold published a widely reprinted commentary on Peurbach's 'Theoricae novae planetarum' . . . When Rheticus returned to Wittenberg in September 1541 from his visit to Copernicus, Reinhold was one of the first to examine the new astronomy" (DSB). Peucer, who was Melanchthon's son-in-law, was professor at Wittenberg, first of mathematics and then of medicine. 'De dimensione terrae . . . ' is a textbook in mathematical geography which makes use of contemporary deveopments in trigonometry by Regiomontanus and Copernicus. It was first published in 1550. This edition of Peucer's work also contains two other works: 'Descriptio locorum terrae sanctae' by Brocardus and 'Aliquot insignium locorum terrae sanctae' by Melancthon. Peurbach: Adams P2278; Zinner 2951. Peucer: Zinner 2096; Honeyman 2464. Two works bound in one volume, 8vo. Peurbach: ff. [viii], 247, with volvelles on f. 91r but lacking those on f. 61v, numerous early, possibly contemporary, annotations. Peucer: pp. [x], 301, with one folding table. Contemporary vellum, red edges.
