About This Item

Augsburg, Erhard Ratdolt, 1490. *** Première édition séparée. Elle est illustrée par un grand bois montrant deux docteurs discourant du ciel, 4 diagrammes astrologiques gravés et une magnifique marque typographique de Ratdolt, imprimée en rouge et noir. C'est ici la réunion de trois textes édités par Joannes Angelus (Johann Engel). Engel a édité la même année chez Radolt, les 'Tabulae directionum' de Regiomontanus - donnant "les longitudes des corps célestes par rapport à la rotation quotidienne apparente du ciel" - en utilisant les mêmes données que dans ce "Concordantia astronomie." Les auteurs cités dans cet ouvrage sont Alfonsus, Leopoldus, Messahalah, Albumasar, Alchabitius, Haly, Omar, Henry Bate (de Malines), Walter Odington (d'Evesham), Roger Bacon.. Pierre d'Ailly montra un grand intérêt pour l'astronomie et la cosmographie et, comme souvent à cette époque, mélangeait astronomie et astrologie. Ainsi, il examine sept conjonctions du passé associées avec des événement remarquables. Alexandre le Grand est traité au feuillet c6, Mahomet au d5, et l'Antéchrist au d8, car 1789 sera "une année de grands et étonnants changements". Pierre d'Ailly (Compiègne, 1351 - Avignon, 1420), Chancelier de l'Université de Paris en 1389, a été le maître de Jean de Gerson qui sera son disciple préféré. Il prit le parti de l'antipape d'Avignon Benoît XIII, qui le nomma Cardinal. Par la suite, il abandonna son protecteur lors du concile de Constance au cours duquel il joue un rôle capital en favorisant la nomination de Martin V (qui rétablit l'unité de l'Église) et en obtenant la condamnation de Jean Hus. Cette "Concordantia astronomiae" avait parue en 1480 comme une partie de l' "Imago Mundi", une cosmographie qui a influencé Christophe Colomb dans son estimation de la largeur de l'Atlantique. *** In-4 de (56) ff.

It is a collection of three related tracts edited by Joannes Angelus (Johann Engel). Engel edited the same year for Radolt the 'Tabulae directionum' of Regiomontanus - providing "the longitudes of the celestial bodies in relation to the apparent daily rotation of the heavens" - with the same completion date as this 'Concordantia astronomie'. The authors cited here are Alfonsus, Leopoldus, Messahalah, Albumasar, Alchabitius, Haly, Omar, Henry Bate (of Mechelen), Walter Odington (of Evesham), Roger Bacon... D'Ailly had a strong interest in astronomy and cosmography and, as so often in this period, mixed astronomy and astrology. Thus in this work, he examines seven past conjunctions and associated most memorable events with them. Alexander the great is dealt on c6, Mahomet on d5, and Antichrist on d8, as 1789 would be a year of "great and wondrous changes of law and sects". The calendar according to the Italians, Germans, French and English is discussed. Pierre d'Ailly served as chancellor of the University of Paris, where Jean Gerson was his favourite pupil. Latter he became Cardinal. This "Concordantia astronomiae" was published in 1480 as part of 'Imago Mundi', a work of cosmography, which influenced Christopher Columbus in his estimates of the size of world land-mass. Illustrated by a large woodcut representing two doctors discussing the heavens, 4 astrological diagrams and the Radolt's beautiful armorial device of Mercury printed in red and black on last leaf. Numerous ornamental initials. BMC 2, 383. Goff A-471. GW M31932. ISTC ia00471000. Fairfax Murray, German books 28. - -.
