Beschreibung

Two very scarce works on the printing house and publications of the notable Danish astronomer Tycho Brache, in the original Danish. The first editions of these two very scarce works. Die Bibliothek des Tycho Brahe is in the publisher's original paper wraps. Tycho Brahes Bogtrykkeri is in the publisher's paper boards, with pictorial gilt to the front board. Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) was the last major astronomer before the invention of the telescope, known for his comprehensive and accurate astronomical observations. Tycho established Uraniborg, an astronomical observatory and alchemy laboratory, as a research centre. Uraniborg contained one of the first printing presses and paper mills in Scandinavia, enabling Tycho to publish his own manuscripts. These two works provide information on Tycho's printing press and publications. The set comprises: Die Bibliothek des Tycho Brahe (1933) by Dr. W. Prandtl and Tycho Brahes Bogtrykkeri: En bibliografisk-boghistorisk Undersogelse (1946) by Lauritz Nielsen. Both are written in the original Danish and are vanishingly scarce works. 'Die Bibliothek des Tycho Brahe' is in the publisher's original paper wraps. 'Tycho Brahes Bogtrykkeri' is in the publisher's original paper boards, with pictorial gilt to the front board. Paper wraps are generally smart, with a little age-toning to the perimeters of the wraps. Paper boards are generally smart with fading to the extremities and spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean to both works. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 919M6
