Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents the first detailed scientific examination of Alessandro Piccolomini's two early astronomical works - De la Sfera del Mondo and De le Stelle Fisse. First published in Venice in 1540, the two treatises are amongst the earliest scientific texts written in the vernacular (Italian) and were specifically composed to make astronomical principles and practices available to a lay reader.Whereas De la Sfera del Mondo is essentially an updated adaptation of the theoretical astronomical material contained in Sacrobosco's De Sphaera, this book examines his views on a number of key topics - such as precession, the motion of the solar apogee and the size and distance of the planets from Earth.The author also presents a radical reassessment of De le Stelle Fisse, focusing on the innovative methods Piccolomini employed to create a viewer-centric approach for identifying the stars. As such, Piccolomini's guide to the heavens should be seen as a distant forerunner of the successful genre of elementary handbooks that were developed in the late 18th century, and which remain popular with amateur stargazers even in the 21st century.The book also addresses how Piccolomini's treatises were used by contemporary astronomers by examining the manuscript notes that were left in various surviving copies of his books. It provides a convincing explanation of the unique directional notation on his stellar maps and assesses the relative accuracy of his stellar co-ordinates against contemporary and modern ephemerides and pictorial sources. It also argues that Piccolomini probably designed his distinctive series of maps of the constellations and the related Tables by using a celestial globe to compile his astronomical data. Finally, the author examines the series of refinements and corrections in the successive editions of Piccolomini's two treatises, thereby showing the extent to which his two early astronomical treatises remained an on-going enterprise for over 60 years.This book is a companion volume to Alessandro Piccolomini's Early Astronomical Works: I. An Exploration of Their Cultural Significance by Kristen Lippincott in the same series.The two volumes are jointly available as print set with ISBN978-3-031-76964-1.…

Elly Dekker ; with contributions from Silke Ackermann . [et al.] ; edited by Kristen Lippincott, Pieter van der Merwe, and Maria Blyzinsky. Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press and the National Maritime Museum, 1999. Quarto, buckram in illustrated dustjacket, light handling marks, slipcase slightly marked, pp. xi, 592, illustrations and maps. An outstanding study on globes and globemakers. 'Dating back to classical times, globes are the oldest continuous technique for picturing the Earth and heavens. Globes have been used as classroom and philosophical aids, tools for navigation, compendiums for geographical and astronomical information, and even high-status furniture. Before the onset of modern industrial techniques, their construction required great skill. The National Maritime Museum at Greenwich has one of the world's largest and finest collections of globes, with over 300 items including terrestrial and celestial examples, armillary spheres and planispheres; the collection includes important early collections by Barberini, Landau and Gabb. This volume is a complete catalogue of the collection by one of the leading authorities on Western globes. It includes full descriptions, numerous illustrations, nine introductory essays, and an integrated section on the Museum's Islamic globes. ' - the publisher.…
