1608ABC_47602Colophon: Rees 1608. Folio 30 x 19.5 cm. Abraham Wijlicx Contemporary vellum sewn on four supports laced through the joints. With a half-page woodcut illustration and some decorations built up from typographic ornaments on the title page 74 woodcuts of various sizes in text many near full- and half-page with some woodcut decorated initials various series a headpiece built up from typographic ornaments and an ornamental woodcut tailpiece. 111 1 pp. A very rare early seventeenth-century Dutch book on astronomy compiling the knowledge of the German astronomer mathematician and cartographer Peter Apian 1495-1552. A great work on cosmography astronomy perspective and many related subjects. The book is subdivided into six parts highlighting the scales and course of planets the principles of the zodiac signs and their correct identification the calculation of heights and distances as well as the instruments used for calculation and measurement. All of this rendered in readable explanations and numerous clarifying woodcut illustrations. The book showcases marvelous woodcut illustrations of volvelles which are rotating parts of a paper construction known as a wheel chart used to illustrate the position and movement of celestial bodies. Volvelles are recognized as early versions of paper analogue computers and have been utilised in various fields for organization and calculation. The origins of volvelles can be traced back to astronomy books as well as certain Arabic treatises on humoral medicine and the Persian astronomer Abu Rayhan Biruni circa 1000 who played a significant role in their development. Throughout the book the author compiled images taken from Apians influential works. It is unclear who compiled this work as the title page states only the initials S.D.V.B. The work later found its way into the German language in an Ingolstadt edition from 1533 titles Instrument buch here clearly putting the emphasis on the tools rather than the calculations and practical astronomy.With the bookplate of Buijnsters-Smets on the front paste-down.

Tayler Made Important Contributions To Stellar Structure And Evolution Plasma Stability Nucleogenesis And Cosmology. He Wrote A Number Of Textbooks. He Collaborated With Fred Hoyle And Stephen Hawking At The University Of Cambridge On Problems Of Helium Production In Cosmology. He Was Secretary 1971-79 Treasurer 1979-87 And Finally President 1989-90 Of The Royal Astronomical Society. In March 1995 He Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.3 His Candidacy Citation Read "Roger Tayler's Versatile Career In Astronomy Started With Pioneering Studies In Stellar Evolution Including His Discovery Of Semi-Convection. At Harwell His Work On Plasma Stability Included A Discussion Of The Stabilized Pinch And The Prediction Of Instabilities Produced By Finite Resistivity. He Subsequently Applied This Expertise To A Study Of The Stability Of Stellar Magnetic Fields And To The Interaction Of Rotation And Magnetic Fields With Convection. In Cosmology He Calculated With Hoyle The Cosmic Helium Abundance Stressing The Importance Of The Number Of Neutrino Types And He Pointed Out The Significance Of The Neutron Half-Life. In Nucleosynthesis He Calculated The Abundances Of Iron Peak Elements Produced At High Temperatures And Recently He Has Been Deeply Involved With The Chemical Evolution Of Galaxies. He Has Written Substantial And Penetrating Review Articles And Text-Books Used The World Over. In Addition He Has Given Outstanding Public Service Especially Through The Royal Astronomical Society. <br/> <br/> Cambridge University Press (1931) hardcover

From the Dust Jacket: "These diaries of the father of Wilbur and Orville Wright record the full range of experiences of his adult life from 1857 to his death in 1917. They provide a detailed chronicle of Milton Wright's dynamic and sometimes controversial ministry and leadership in the United Brethren Church and his role as the father of the famed inventors of powered flight Probably the most important contribution the diaries make to present day scholarship on the Wright Brothers is the greater knowledge we gain about the dynamics of the Wright family Taken as a whole the diaries provide an essential resource in the study of the history of the Wright Brothers' career in aviation the history of the United Brethren Church and the life of a man dedicated to his family and his church." kEYWORDS: Wright Brothers.

"Astronomy is not cultivated in this country either as a study or as a recreation to the extent that it is on the Continent of Europe and in America. I am not exactly prepared to say why this should be so but perhaps a clue can be found. There is a lack of works in the English language which are at one and the same time attractive to the general reader serviceable to the student and handy for purposes of reference to the professional Astronomer; in fact of works which are popular without being vapid and scientific without being unduly technical."
