Paris: Jean Petit, 1515. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. August 1515. Folio (270 x 190 mm) LXXXI (i.e. 79) leaves, woodcut printer's device on title-page, woodcut initials, woodcut illustrations and diagrams in text, without the final blank. Printed in Gothic letter, two columns. Signatures: a-m6 n-o4 (-o4), print date from colophon on n4 verso. 17th-century limp vellum (restored, cover soiled, extremities rubbed, lacking free endpapers but stubs of vellum manuscript preserved). Text only very little browned, occasional mainly marginal brown spotting, tear in leaf d3 slightly affecting woodcut diagram on verso, a few text corrections and markings in ink. A very good copy. ---- Honeyman 2726; Shaaber H325; Moreau II, 1515/1216. - RARE EDITION by Petit with the commentary of the astrologer and mathematician Pedro Cirvelo (1470-1548) who includes the recent discoveries of the New World. Sacrobosco's Sphaera is one of the great Renaissance books. It was the most important work on astronomy, next to Ptolemy's, in the Age of Discovery. Printed in Paris in gothic type, this edition closely follows the 1498 edition also reprinted and published in 1508 by the same Petit under the title Uberrimum Sphere mundi commentum, intersertis etiam questionibus Petri de Aliaco. In Cirvelo's commentary, he mentions how in 1491 (sic) King Ferdinand sent out sailors to the westward to seek new islands and how they returned with examples of many strange birds, exotic unguents and spices, and gold, and bringing strange blue men with square heads. For a long time this work was not recognised as an early Americanum, and it does not appear in Harrisse, JCB or Sabin. - Visit our website for additional images and information.

Lyon: (Symphorien Barbier for) heirs of Jacobus Giunta, 1567. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo (159 x 105mm). [16], 207pp, [15] (of [17]) pages; lacks the final blank. Signatures: *(8), a-n(8), A(8). Woodcut printer’s device of fleur-de lis. Dedicated Thomas Gadagne of Lyon. With commentary by Élie Vinet (1509-1587), humanist of Bordeaux, and Giovanni Pierio Valeriano Bolzani. Numerous in-text woodcut illustrations and astronomical diagrams; but lacking the volvelles. Contemporary limp vellum; (recased, endpapers renewed; slight marginal dampstaining and occasional browning). Early 17th-century ownership inscriptions and names to title in Latin, “Canonici” could refer to “Canon” teachings and suggests a student association. The date “1642” is written on the bottom fore-edge and “1781” on the top fore-edge of the book, perhaps giving a range to this association. Sacrobosco’s Sphaera was widely copied in manuscript form and was also one the first…

(112 pp.) New leather spine, later boards (binding worn and chafed; name of Philip Melanchton on title page crossed out, contemporary doodle on last page; corner torn from one page without loss of text, one page slightly trimmed, chafing one woodcut; last flyleaf restored in the margin) � Stop-press variant of copy c:lvd:1141346 held by the Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience (the opening words of the dedication are reset). Adams (Holywood) 724. What Sacrobosco may be most famous for is his criticism of the Julian calendar. In his book on computus, entitled in Latin De Anni Ratione (English: On reckoning the years), dated circa 1235, he maintained that the Julian calendar had accumulated an error of ten days and that some correction was needed. The Julian calendar was instituted in the 1st century AD. and a calendar year contained 365.25 days, with the 0.25 day provided for by a Leap year every four years. However, the more precise length of…

Lyon, Hugonem Gazaeum, 1606. *** La "Sphère" de John of Holywood, ou Sacrobosco avec les commentaires de l'humaniste Elie Vinet, connut de nombreuses éditions au cours du XVIe et du XVIIe siècle. On sait le succès de cet ouvrage qui a servi de manuel pour l'enseignement de l'astronomie pendant plusieurs siècles. Le saintongeais Elie Vinet (1509-1587) a été l'un des plus brillants maîtres du Collège de Guyenne. Ce collège était au centre de la vie intellectuelle de Bordeaux et de sa région. Montaigne qui l'a qualifié de "meilleur de France", y entra comme élève en 1539, l'année même où Vinet commença à y professer. Vinet a été l'éditeur de nombreux ouvrages qui pour la plupart, ont servi à l'enseignement qu'il dispensait. Illustré par 84 bois gravés dans le texte et par trois planches dépliantes dont deux tableaux. Exemplaire aux armes et au chiffre sur les plats et entre les nerfs de Claude V Molé, maître d'hôtel ordinaire du Roi Louis XIV. Selon Olivier, les livres de…
