      Opera mathematica. Nuremberg, Johann vom Berg & Ulrich Neuber, 1551. 3 parties en un volume in-folio, basane fauve, roulette à froid sertie de filets en encadrement, fleurons aux angles, médaillon circulaire à froid au centre, dos à nerfs enduit anciennement de peinture grise portant le titre et une cote manuscrites à l'encre brune, tranches lisses, traces d'attaches (Reliure de l'époque). Première édition collective des œuvres astronomiques et cosmographiques de l'humaniste allemand Johann Schöner, publiée peu après sa mort par son fils Andreas et préfacée par Philippe Mélanchthon. L'ouvrage est orné d'un beau titre en rouge et noir dans un cartouche ornemental et d'un portrait de l'auteur à mi-page à la fin des pièces liminaires. Il comprend quatre gravures à pleine page de globes terrestre et célestes et de nombreuses illustrations et diagrammes dans le texte, le tout gravé sur bois. Dans le second livre, la section Cœlestis globi compositio livre un important catalogue d'étoiles tiré du De revolutionibus de Copernic, paru en 1543, mais dont Schöner a calculé les positions pour l'année 1550. Johann Schöner (1477-1547) est, par ailleurs, l'auteur du premier globe terrestre nommant le continent américain. Abondantes annotations manuscrites anciennes à l'encre et quelques annotations modernes au crayon. De la bibliothèque du monastère de Teplitz, en Bohème, avec inscription manuscrite sur le titre, biffée et complétée de la mention Author prohibitus ex Conc. Trid.

      Johann Schoener (1477-1547) - Globi Stelliferi sive sphaerae stellarum fixarum usus. 1533

      Est: £2,000 - £3,000

      Johann Schoener (1477-1547) SCHÖNER, Johann (1477-1547). Globi Stelliferi sive sphaerae stellarum fixarum usus. Nuremberg: [J. Petreius], 1533.A very rare copy of Schöner's work on celestial globes, published to accompany his own 1533 celestial globe. Schöner, one of the most important globe makers of the 16th century, produced his first pair of globes in 1515-1517; a set of printed gores for his 1517 celestial globe exists in the 'Schöner Sammelband' in the library at Schloss Wolfegg, Württemberg, Germany. The earliest extant celestial globes made up from printed gores are two copies of Schöner's 1533 productions (one at the Royal Astronomical Society, London, and the other at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg), for which this volume is the explanatory text. We have been only able to trace only one copy of this book at auction (Sotheby's, 3 May 1971, lot 226; ABPC/RBH). Sabin 77801; Van der Krogt Globii Neerlandici, pp.32-33; V-16 S-3469.Quarto (195 x 140 mm). 28 leaves, A-G4 with A2 mis-signed A3, errata on G4r. Full-page woodcut of a globe on verso of the title, woodcut diagram on G3 verso (sometime washed). Modern olive green morocco by Lobstein-Laurenchet, marbled endpapers, gilt edges.

      Est: $6,000 - $8,000

      SCHÖNER, Johann (1477-1547). De Judiciis nativitatum libri tres. Nuremberg: J. Montanus and U. Neuber, 1545. 2 o (319 x 210 mm).

ONE OF THE EARLIEST PUBLICATIONS TO COMMENT FAVORABLY ON THE NEW DISCOVERIES OF COPERNICUS FIRST EDITION, with a preface by Philip Melanchthon. "Schöner in 1545 printed another work of his own of considerable length, namely, three books on the judgments of nativities, with another preface by Melanchthon. Schöner had been one of those who encouraged Copernicus to publish his magnum opus. Now in the present work, although prefering the method of Ptolemy in astrological judments to those of subsequent astrologers, Schöner maintained that the Copernican system was not unfavorable to astrology" (Thorndike V, p. 367).
