About This Item

Venise, Franciscum Franciscium Senensem, 1582. *** Illustré par 24 bois gravés dans le texte, quelques uns à pleine page et de nombreux tableaux. Seconde édition. La première de 1570 ne contient que la moitié du texte et des gravures. Giovanni Padovani (ou Paduani), né vers 1512, a été l'élève de l'astronome et mathématicien Pietro Pitati. Dans ce traité il donne des instructions pour la fabrication et la pose de cadrans solaires en fournissant des déclinaisons pour les différentes latitudes, ainsi que pour leur calcul. On y trouve en outre la description d'un cadran solaire calibré pour la mesure d'heures inégales, utilisé dans les calendriers ecclésiastique. La pagination saute de 4 à 9 sans manque. Un travail de vers rebouché en coin des derniers feuillets, avec perte de quelques caractères imprimés sur l'avant dernier feuillet de table. Bel exemplaire par ailleurs. *** In-4 de (12), 267, (13) pp. Vélin.

Second edition. The first of 1570 contains less than half the material in this work. Padovani's manual give instructions for the manufacture and laying out of mural (vertical) and horizontal sundials; contains extensive tables of declinations for various latitudes with both occidental and oriental examples; and provides instructions for the calculation of latitudes. This last section includes a description of a sundial calibrated for the measurement of unequal hours, such as those used in the ecclesiastic calendar, which foresaw twelve hours of light and twelve of dark, which was subject to severe seasonal variations. Giovanni Padovani (or Paduani) (b. c. 1512) was a student of the mathematician and astronomer Pietro Pitati. - -.
