3 parts in 1 volume. First edition of the astronomical tables by Johan Philip Lansberge (or Philippus Lansbergius, 1561-1632), one of the most famous mathematicians and astronomers of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age. His tables were meant to allow the computation of the position of the then known planets. The work was very popular with astronomers due to its ease of use. It consists of three parts which contain theoretical discussions, tables, and astronomical observations. The present copy also includes the folding table.Lansberge was was one of the first defenders of the heliocentric system in the Netherlands and gained international renown for it. His Commentationers in motum terrae diurnum, & annuum (1629), in which he presented the Copernican solar system to a popular audience, became a best-seller. Nevertheless, he could not accept Johannes Kepler's (1571-1630) theory of elliptical orbits. After Kepler published his Rudolphine tables in 1627, Lansberge set out to create his own based on the epicyclic theory. The present work, which contains these tables, was first published in 1632 and was widely adopted in the 1630's until his projections were found to be generally less accurate than Kepler's. However, the Tabulae were used by the English astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks (1618-1641) to observe the Transit of Venus in December 1639, which Lansberge had correctly predicted. This lead to a revision of Kepler's tables.With contemporary annotations in the margins of part 1, and on page 4 and 5 of part 3. The vellum is somewhat rubbed and stained. Both pastedowns are slightly torn along the edges of the turn ins, the title page has been restored in the inner margin, the lower outer corner of page 29 in the second part has torn without affecting the text, the folding table has browned, some leaves are slightly water stained in the lower margin. Otherwise in very good condition.l Bierens de Haan 2672; Hoogendoorn, Bibliography of the exact sciences in the Low Countries, LansP09.1; Houzeau & Lancaster 12758; Poggendorff I, 1373; STCN 83109379X (7 copies). Contemporary overlapping vellum. With an engraved title page, an engraved full-page portrait of the author, a divisional title page for the tables with a small woodcut figure representing the solar system as a vignette, a folding letterpress table (all within collation).

Rare first (and only Latin) edition of Van Lansberge's detailed and well-illustrated treatise on sundials, posthumously published by Zacharias Roman in Middelburg, who had published most of his works. Roman says he found this text in manuscript among the papers of Van Lansberge's estate. Planning the publication of the complete works, he decided to publish this text as well. The present treatise was designed to be bound with the Opera omnia, published in the same year. From the library of Christopher St. John Hume Daniel, author of several recent books on sundials. Lacking folios A2-3, containing Roman's dedication to Nicolaas Blanckaert and brief note to the reader, and with a few of the figures shaved by the binder, but otherwise in very good condition.l Bierens de Haan 2675; STCN 831098473 (7 copies); not in Poggendorff; cf. for Lansberge: DSB VIII, pp. 27-28; NNBW II, cols. 775-782. Modern paper-covered boards with title printed on spine. With 61 woodcuts in the text (1 repeated on the title page, illustrating a sundial), many more than half-page, including both sundials and diagrams illustrating how they work, a woodcut headpiece and a woodcut decorated initial. With extensive 19th-century manuscript notes on the back of the title page and the illustrations numbered by hand. Lacking 2 leaves containing Roman's dedication. Pages: [2], 53 pp.…
