Schoener (Johann) Opera Mathematica, 3 parts in 1, first edition, collation: ?6, ?4, A-Z6, Aa-Cc6, Dd-Ee8, Ff-Mm6, Nn8; a-h6, i8, including errata, colophon and final blank leaf, but lacking 2 other blanks, Roman and Greek type, title printed in red and black with two large woodcut ornaments, woodcut printer's device at end, woodcut portrait of the author on ?4v, numerous woodcuts and diagrams, 4 full-page woodcuts, including terrestrial globe, celestial globe and planisphere, complete with eleven diagrams with working volvelles (although moveable parts supplied in later (?18th century) facsimile and thread renewed), woodcut initials, generally very fine, wide-margined copy, title gutter reinforced, quire R lightly browned, few other leaves toned, small wear to lower blank margin of b3v, tiny wormhole in blank outer margin of last several leaves, contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, covers within two blind-stamped rolls, outer roll dated 1541 and depicting the Crucifixion, David, the Resurrection, and St. John, inner roll dated 1556 and showing Lucretia, Caritas, and Justicia, later stamp of Schola Altenburgensis printed in gold in centre of upper cover and in black on lower cover, some minor abrasion to binding, spine slightly chipped at head, corners lightly rubbed, folio (306 x 201mm.), Nuremberg, J. Montanus & U. Neuber, 1551.*** Rare and important work with a most distinguished provenance, in excellent condition and in its strictly contemporary binding. The Honeyman copy of the first edition of the collected works by Johann Schöner, mathematician, astronomer, cartographer, and scientific instrument maker from Karlstadt, in Bavaria.Schöner was a contemporary of Nicolaus Copernicus and in 1526 he became the first professor of mathematics at the University of Nuremberg. His most illustrious pupil was Georg Joachim Rheticus, who in the Narratio prima (1540) announced Copernicus' discoveries. Schöner was also active as a printer and even set up a press in his house, printing numerous previously unpublished works by Johannes Regiomontanus, as well as the first printed terrestrial globe to name the recently discovered continent of America.The Opera mathematica was published posthumously by his son Andreas and is introduced by a preface by the outstanding humanist and reformer Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560). The volume contains a representative sample of Schöner's wide and diverse interests, and a digest of some of his separately published works, most of which are extremely rare. Part 3 contains the most important section, which describes and illustrates eleven instruments, under the title Aequatorium Astronomicum, ex quo errantium stellarum motus, luminarium configurationes, & defectus colliguntur, a revised and enlarged version of the work which first appeared in 1521. The Aequatorium Astronomicum contains the earliest collection of printed equatoria-diagrams, as well as a catalogue of stars adapted by Schöner from that published by Copernicus in his De revolutionibus of 1543.The text is illustrated by an elaborate series of volvelles (movable wheel charts) used to determine planetary positions. Each part of these volvelles was printed on a separate page, such that the reader could cut them out or trace them on separate pieces of paper, and then assemble the various parts with string. These fragile 'paper instruments', which Schöner was among the first to employ, are frequently lacking or only partially present in most other copies of this work, and they are very often constructed incorrectly.Provenance: from the library of the Latin school in Altenburg, Germany (stamp on the binding 'Biblioth.

Like his father, he made watches and longcase clocks, but Rutgerus was also one of the few Dutch horologists to make astronomical clocks, for which he is best remembered today.

Ulysse Nardin. A fine 18K gold automatic astronomical bracelet watchModel: Astrolabium Galileo GalileiReference: 911-22Date: Circa 1990Movement: Jewelled Cal.91.7.151 automatic, 18K gold rotorDial: Two plate dial consisting of a silvered three tone fixed planisphere of celestial co-ordinates, beneath a rotating transparent rete labelled with the position of numerous bright stars with the ecliptic shown in gold all within a gold annual calendar ring, together representing the annual path of the Sun (Zodiac) against the background stars, gilt Solar hand marking the annual change of meridian height of the Sun, silvered Lunar hand indicating age and aspect of the Moon, Dragon hand predicting eclipses, luminous hour and minute handsCase: Polished round, exhibition back secured by 4 screws, Roman and Arabic numeral 24 hour markers to bezel, No.151Strap/Bracelet: Integral brushed link with alternating ridgesBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding claspSigned: Dial & movementSize: 40mm Accompaniments: Winding box, Ulysse Nardin service case, Swisstec repair warranty card dated June 2022Footnotes:The notion of 24 hours a day was derived through astronomical observations. To pay homage to the three brilliant names in the world of astronomy: Galileo Galilei, Copernicus, and Johannes Kepler, Ulysse Nardin launched a series of three timepieces in collaboration with the genius watchmaker Ludwig Oechslin in 1985, 1988, and 1992. The series is widely known by the enthusiasts as the 'Trilogy of Time'. The present watch is an example of Astrolabium Galileo Galilei, which was the first of the trilogy. The dial indicates the position of the Sun, the Moon and the stars as seen from the earth. In addition, the watch also tells sunrise and sunset, moon phases, moonrise and moonset as well as eclipses of sun and moon. Not only does this watch present the most unique and complicated way of telling time, it also exemplifies the brand's commitments to engineering and watchmaking.The origin of the astrolabe is lost in antiquity, but it was possibly a Greek invention of the 2nd century BC. It was developed by Persian and Arabic astronomers and was widely used by the 9th century AD. The oldest surviving instruments date from the Middle Ages and were made throughout the Renaissance in Europe. The astrolabe remained an important tool of Islamic astronomy well into the 19th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Schöner Sammelband mit 3 in Straßburg bei von der Heyden gedruckten seltenen astronomischen Werken. - Zu 1: Frühe Ausgabe. - "Bartsch's book Usus Astronomicus Planisphaerii Stellati ('Astronomical Use of the Stellar Planisphere'), published in 1624, introduced six new constellations invented by Petrus Plancius to a wider audience, much as Johann Bayer's Uranometria had done for the 12 southern constellations of Keyser and de Houtman two decades earlier. In both cases, the novel constellations had first appeared on globes, which inevitably had only a limited circulation. Printed charts could be produced in far greater numbers than globes and hence were more widely seen. As a result Bartsch, like Bayer before him, was often incorrectly credited with inventing the new constellations he depicted. In reality, neither Bayer nor Bartsch invented any constellations; they simply transmitted the inventions of others to a wider audience. Bartsch's book (really a manual of practical astronomy) included three foldout star charts: a north polar planisphere (left) and two equatorial strips extending to declination 55° south. There was no south polar chart. According to the Smithsonian historian Deborah Jean Warner in her book The Sky Explored, Bartsch plotted 1,111 stars on his charts, about two-thirds the number on Bayer's much larger atlas." - Teils etwas gebräunt, die drei Sternenkarten in Teil 2 verbunden. - Zu 2: Seltene erste Ausgabe. - DG 12.4711 - VD17 23:237682B - Zinner, Astronomische Literatur 4968 - nicht bei Honeyman und Houzeau/L. - Wie meist ohne die gestochenen Beigaben. - Leicht gebräunt. - Zu 3: Seltene erste Ausgabe der mehrfach aufgelegten Abhandlung.

Er veröffentlichte Vorhersagen und Kalender für 1608, 1612, 1622 und 1629 und Schriften über den Kometen von 1618. Zu Lebzeiten seines Vaters half er diesem bei der Herstellung von Uhren. Später stellte er mit Jakob von Heyden Erd- und Himmelskugeln her, die Himmelskugel sogar in konvexer und konkaver Form. - Titel unten mit Spuren eines entfernten Stempels, leicht gebräunt.
