2 parts in 1 volume. 8vo. (160 x 102 mm). Additional engraved title by W. Marshall, engraved illustration on p 222 of part 2, numerous woodcut diagrams in text. 18th century calf, spine with 4 raised bands and morocco gilt lettering piece, marbled endpapers.

Provenance: Boies Penrose II (American travel writer and historian, 1902-1976, 2 bookplates).

Third edition. Wilkins\' bold assertions in his various editions of this book include the possibility that the moon might be inhabited, that humans might be able to find a way to travel there, and that the Earth might indeed be a planet. An Anglican clergyman and Bishop of Chester, Wilkins was a visionary polymath who remained well-respected in science and the clergy, despite his sometimes controversial writings. In addition to writing on mathematics, religious philosophy, and astronomy, he proposed a universal language, and a universal system of measurement that predated the metric system.

SCHEINER, CHRISTOPH. 1573-1650. :Rosa Ursina Sive Sol ex Admirando Facularum Macularum suarum Phoenomeno Varius. Bracciano: Andreas Phaeus at the Ducal Press, 1626-1630.
Folio (375 x 260 mm). Engraved title vignette, engraved portrait of Paolo Giordano Orsini, Duke of Bracciano, additional engraved title, numerous engraved illustrations throughout (many full-page), woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials. [38], 784 (with numerous errors in pagination), [38] pp., with the blanks F4, R6 4I6. Full 18th-century (?) vellum, manuscript spine title, all edges gilt. Repairs to large portion of outer lower corner of first 5 leaves (letterpress half-title, title, portrait leaf, contents and engraved title) with loss to text and images, occasional heavy browning and waterstaining, especially to prefatory and end matter, sporadic foxing, loss to top blank corner of 4G6.

FIRST EDITION of Scheiner\'s major work on sunspots. Scheiner first observed sunspots in 1611, publishing his finding pseudonymously the following year in Tres Epistolae de Maculis Solaribus. The tract initiated a dispute with Galileo over the nature of sunspots. The present work, Scheiner\'s magnum opus and the standard work on sunspots for over well over a century, opens with an extended attack on Galileo, although Scheiner had by this point accepted Galileo\'s theory that sunspots exist on the surface of the sun and are not, as he had previously argued, caused by shadows cast by satellites of the sun. The many fine engravings depict Scheiner\'s observations, a map of the moon, and the helioscope and other instruments. \"For his masterpiece, Scheiner produced the first monograph on a heavenly body, the Sun. Even today it is still an impressive volume, with scores of engravings of sunspots and the various instruments needed for solar observations\" (Jesuit Science in the Age of Galileo).

The fascinating plates of Florida Scenes and life engraved by De Bry after Le Moyne\'s drawings, make this an indispensable Florida items. Le Moyne\'s narrative was first published in French, Paris 1586\" (Streeter). The map was considerable interest: Hondius based his maps of the area in 1606 on this one, \"the atlas in which it occurred was Mercator\'s and his fame was enough to prolong its authority until the Blaeu VIRGINIAE partis australis, c. 1638\" (Burden 79).

MUNDINUS (DI LUZZI, MONDINO). 1275–1326.:MELLERSTADT, MARTINUS, editor. c.1455-1513. Anathomia Mundini emendata per doctorem melerstat. [Leipzig: Martin Landsberg, 1493.]
4to (200 x 140 mm). 40 leaves, 34 lines, title with full-page woodcut of an anatomical scene. Modern calf antique. Inner margin of title neatly reinforced, tiny repair to blank outer margin of last leaf, illegible old library stamp to lower margin of title page, scattered light browning, mostly marginal.

FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE FIRST DEDICATED ANATOMY BOOK. \"The first modern book devoted solely to anatomy ... Mundinus re-introduced human dissection, which had been neglected for 1500 years before him; he was the most noted dissector of his period, and he set forth the medieval anatomical vocabulary, deriving it mainly from Arabic\" (Garrison). Mondino de\' Luzzi, professor at Bologna, is considered to be the founder of anatomy in the Middle Ages. His treatise remained popular until the beginning of the 16th-century and appeared in multiple editions.

\"The subject of anatomy was not taught either by lectures or by dissection in the universities at the middle of the fifteenth century. An occasional \'anatomy\' was held, but the neglect of the subject is well illustrated by the absence of anatomical books. There is only one in the list, that of Mundinus . . . Mundinus was a professor at Bologna from 1306 to 1326, and was the first to teach anatomy from the subject, usually the corpse of a condemned criminal; but there is the record of a procedure in 1319 against four medical students for body-snatching. His Anatomia, written in 1316, was for two hundred years the popular text book\" (Osler).

In the introduction of the book, Mundinus says, \"proposui meis scholaribus in medicina quoddam opus componere, \'I have proposed to compose a work in medicine for my scholars.\" The work \"met a need universally felt just at that time and commended itself for its brevity, conciseness, and completeness, as well as for the fact that it taught for each separate organ the necessary anatomic technique, as. for example, in the first chapter: \'Situato itaque corpore vel homine mortuo per decollationem vel suspensionem supino\', etc., \'accordingly, laying out the body of a man dead by decapitation or hanging, etc....\" (Choulant).

KEPLER, JOHANNES. 1571-1630. :Tabulae Rudolphinae, quibus astronomicae scientiae, temporum longinquitate collapsae restauratio continentur. Ulm: Jonas Saur, 1627.
Folio (330 x 226 mm). Roman and italic types, double column, printed shoulder notes. Engraved allegorical frontispiece designed by Kepler, depicting Hipparchus, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Brahe, and Kepler gathered in the Temple of Urania, numerous woodcut diagrams in text, including a full-page of diagrams on k3v, woodcut initials, large woodcut device on part 2 section title. With the 4-leaves \"Sportula genethliacis missa\" (q4) printed in Sagan and dated 1629, inserted after the tabulae. Early 18th-century half-sheep and mottled boards, spine gilt in 7 compartments with red and green morocco lettering piece, red speckled edges, a few gatherings (including \"Sportula\", sig. q, issued in 1629) browned (as often). Provenance: Co. Riccati (Jacopo Francesco Riccati (1676-1754, Venetian mathematician; bookplate on title verso).

FIRST EDITION OF KEPLER\'S LAST LIFETIME PUBLICATION AND HIS CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT, THE \"FOUNDATION OF ALL PLANETARY CALCULATIONS FOR OVER A CENTURY\" (Sparrow). Third state, with second quire [):():(⁴] on different paper, albeit trimmed here to the same size as the adjacent leaves. \"The tables are extraordinarily important, for they document in a unique way Kepler\'s great contributions to astronomy\" (Gingerich). \"Besides the planetary, solar, and lunar tables and the associated tables of logarithms it includes Tycho Brahe\'s catalog of 1,000 fixed stars, a chronological synopsis, and a list of geographical positions ... Kepler was an astronomer\'s astronomer. It was the astronomers who recognized the immense superiority of the Tabulae Rudolphinae. For the professionals the improvement in planetary predictions was a forceful testimony to the efficacy of the Copernican system\" (Sparrow). Based on Tycho Brahe\'s observations, the tables were then supplemented by Kepler\'s own observations. The calculations were a major mathematical achievement, as of course, Brahe\'s data applied erroneously to \"perfect\" circular orbits. Kepler had discovered the true elliptical shape of the planetary orbits, and thus, had to recalculate everything according to his new laws. The printing history of the book, during the 30 years\' war, is quite complex. There were 1000 copies printed in Ulm in 1627, with three known states, affecting the title and the first two gatherings. Some copies are known with a posthumously published world map, and some have a posthumous appendix - neither is present in this copy. \"In excusing the long delay in publication... [Kepler] mentioned in the preface [p. 6] not only the difficulties of obtaining his salary and of the wartime conditions but also \'the novelty of my discoveries and the unexpected transfer of the whole of astronomy from fictitious circles to natural causes, which were most profound to investigate, difficult to explain, and difficult to calculate, since mine was the first attempt\'\" (DSB).
