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 Schöner was also active as a printer and even set up a press in his house, printing numerous previously unpublished works by Johannes Regiomontanus, as well as the first printed terrestrial globe to name the recently discovered continent of America.The Opera mathematica was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.

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
