Nuremberg: Johannes Montanus and Ulricum Neuber, 1544. Small 4to (19.5 x 15 cm). 41 woodcut diagrams and illustrations, including 3 full-page, initials, tables (some marginal spotting and staining, some leaves browned, lacks final errata leaf). Finely bound in modern crushed burgundy morocco [unsigned], spine lettered in git with 5 raised bands, modern marbled endpapers. Johannes Müller from Königsberg was a German mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, translator, instrument and is better known under the Latinized version of his name as Regiomontanus. His diligent and accurate observations, measurements and recordings paved the way for modern astronomers such as Tycho Brahe and Nikolaus Copernicus. In 1471 Regiomontanus went to Nuremberg at the invitation of Bernhard Walther, a rich citizen who provided him with the means to set up the first observatory in Europe. It was equipped with instruments of Regiomontanus's own making, which he described in Scripta de torqueto, astrolabio armillari, first printed in 1544. Other contributors listed on the title-page are Georg Peuerbach and Joachim Heller. The subject of the first two papers by Regiomontanus and Schöner is the Torquetum; an astronomical instrument designed to take and convert measurements made in three sets of coordinates: Horizon, equatorial, and ecliptic. Then follows Regiomontanus s paper on the armillary sphere, Schöner s on the large Ptolemaic rule, Regiomontaus s tables of solar observations, and Schöner s short piece on the astronomical radii. Peuerbach s Quadratum geometricum forms a significant part of the long final section on eclipses, comets and planetary observations by Regiomontanus and others. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. COPIOUS EARLY ANNOTATIONS. [Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 6 July 1482.]. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION. 4to, 190x140mm. 3 works in 1, continuous signatures, ff. 60, a-g8 h4. Gothic letter, title at head of a2 recto in red. Large woodcut 'sphaera mundi' to a1 verso, several ½-page woodcut diagrams: 1 of heavenly spheres (a2 verso), 1 of eclipses (c1 verso) and 29 of 'theoricae' (7 in green or yellow original colouring), 6 small woodcut diagrams, large ms diagram of climatic zones inked to a1 blank and copious interlinear ms annotations in an early C16 Germanic hand to first 2 gatherings, decorated initials. 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.

Roman letter, some Italic and Greek. Fine historaited woodcut initials, innumerable woodcut diagrams and illustrations including a beautiful woodcut suite of the zodiac, armorial bookplate of the Earls of Macclesfield on pastedown, early mss shelf mark above, their blind-stamp at head of first two leaves.

A fine copy, crisp and clean with good margins, in handsome contemporary English calf, covers bordered with a triple blind rule, spine with raised bands, gilt ruled in six compartments, gilt fleurons to centres, stubbs from an early English vellum manuscript in double column, extremities expertly restored. A very handsome copy of the rare enlarged third edition; De triangulis was Regiomontanus's most important scientific contribution. Completed in 1464, it remained in manuscript for nearly seventy years before being published in 1533 in Nuremberg by Johann Petri. It contains the earliest statement of the cosine law for spherical triangles, stating the proportionality of the sides of a plane triangle to the sines of the opposite angle. This fundamental proposition of spherical trigonometry appears as theorem 2 in book V of the treatise. In the second part, Regiomontanus proves the errors of Nicolaus de Cusa's theory of squaring the circle, which had a profound effect on the history of navigation. "The first systematic treatise on plane and spheric trigonometry to be published in Europe. Although it drew heavily on Arabic sources, those earlier treatises had been either lost or forgotten by 1533 when Regiomontanuss work was first printed. Among the notable contents of this work are the sine law and perhaps the first European application of algebra to trigonometry. Indeed with De triangulis trigonometry was established as an independent discipline. Regiomontanus' original purpose, however, had been to furnish astronomers with a mathematical technique essential for their studies, and in this De triangulis had a success perhaps greater than its author could have dreamed of. For in 1539 Georg Joachim Rheticus presented a copy of the work's 1533 edition as a gift to Copernicus. The great astronomer had already written the trigonometrically-based portion of his De Revolutionibus without knowledge of his predecessor's treatise. After reading the new book, Copernicus modified the presentation of several of his own indispensable theorems by inserting two leaves in the manuscript of the De Revolutionibus. Hence, Rheticus' remark that Regiomontanus began the reconstruction of astronomy that Copernicus completed takes on a fuller meaning" Rose, 'The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics,' 'This edition is enlarged with by two early complementary treatises the "Tabula sinuum ad 6000000 partes per I. de Regiomonte computata" and the "Tractatus super propositiones Ptolemaei de sinubus et chordis" by Peurbach. The second work in this volume is the first appearance of an expanded treatise by Santbech on astronomy. It deals with instruments for astronomical observation, and details various methods of measurement using Regiomontanus' work on triangles, described in the first work. It is interesting for its post Copernican perspective, who is cited in the work. Thomas Digges also cites the work in his 'An Arithmeticall Militarie Treatise'; see Military Books, p. 23.

Hardcover. Zustand: Gut. Klein-Oktav, 16,5 x 9,5 cm. 114 (von 118) Blatt; 8 Blatt. Moderner Pergamentband unter Verwendung eines Blattes einer spätmittelalterlichen liturgischen Handschrift in brauner und roter Schrift mit großer blauer Initiale auf gelbem Grund. Sprache: Latein, (Einband etwas sperrig, nur wenig gebräunt, beim vorgebundenen Titel fehlen die letzten 4 Blatt, von denen drei Text enthielten, es liegt also ein kleiner Textverlust beim ersten Titel vor, der zweite ist mit 8 Blatt vollständig, insgesamt frisch). Erste und einzige Einzelveröffentlichung. Überaus seltener Druck eines Werkes des italienischen Astronomen Giovanni Bianchini (1410-1469; latinisiert Johannes Blanchinus) der in Ferrara wirkte und als erster europäischer Mathematiker etwas später als der persischer Arzt, Mathematiker und Astronom Al-Kashi (1380-1429) Positionsdezimalbrüche für seine trigonometrischen Tabellen verwendete, mit Hilfe derer vor allem Planetenpositionen, deren Bahnen und wiederkehrende Himmelsphänomene berechnet werden konnten. Erstmals 1458 erschienen, wurden die Tafeln vielfach zusammen (und im 16. Jahrhundert meist als Anhang) mit dem Werk "Tabulae directionum profectionumque, non tam Astrologiae iudiciariae, quàm tabulis instrumentis que innumeris fabricandis utiles ac necessariae" des Johannes Müller aus Königsberg, genannt Regiomontanus (1436-1476) herausgegeben (vgl. VD16 M 6557-6561). Ein einziger Wittenberger Druck von Matthaeus Welack ist 1584 nachweisbar (VD16 M 6561). Einen Druck von 1564 bei Johannes Crato (Johann Krafft) konnten wir allerdings nicht belegen, es gibt keinen Hinweis im VD16. So handelt es sich wohl um die einzige Separatausgabe der Tafeln Blanchinis überhaupt, die mit eigenem Titelblatt und nicht im Zusammenhang mit Regiomontanus erschienen und weltweit wohl nur in einem weiteren Exemplar in Bibliotheken vorhanden ist (vgl. Giovanni Boffito. Le Tavole astronomiche di Giovanni Bianchini. Da un codice della Coll. Olschki. Florenz 1908). Nach Blanchinus wurde u. a. ein Mondkrater benannt. - VD16 ZV 16981. OCLC 633730507. Zinner 2355. Hamel 3220. Nicht bei Adams und Houzeau-Lancaster. Überaus selten, das VD16 verzeichnet nur zwei Exemplare (Jena und Köln), ferner konnten wir ein einziges Exemplar in der Staatlichen Bibliothek zu Regensburg (unter der Signatur 999/Philos.1030) finden.

Notas: El primer producto del taller veneciano de la sociedad formada en 1476 por Bernard Maler (Pictor), Peter Löslein y Erhard Ratdolt fue este Calendarium de Johann Müler de Königsberg (Regiomontanus), en el que aparece la primera portada propiamente dicha" (ya que la primera portada aparece en la Bula contra los turcos impresa por Peter Schöffer en 1463). Por primera vez desde la invención de la imprenta el título aparece dispuesto en una página independiente al comienzo del volumen, acompañado por el pie de imprenta que indicaba el lugar, la fecha y el nombre de los impresores. Pasaron varios años antes de que la práctica de poner una portada independiente se hiciese general. Este Calendarium se imprimió en latín y en italiano a lo largo de 1476, y en alemán en 1478, siendo las dos versiones de 1476 los primeros libros fechados con números arábigos. Además, en este libro aparecen, por primera vez en Italia, iniciales xilográficas impresas junto al texto en vez de dejar el espacio en blanco para que el iluminador incluyese la inicial.
