Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1534 1ed Apian Instrumentum Astronomy Mathematics Alchemy Durer ART Trigonometry Peter Apian was a 16th-century humanist who is remembered for his studies in astronomy and mathematics. One of his best known works was his 1534 mathematics treatise Instrumentum Primi Mobilis . This book was Apian s studies in trigonometry, and, according to Tomash & Williams, Apian published a table of sines that, for the first time, was based on a circle with a radius of a power of ten, in this case one hundred thousand. The values of the functions were thus decimal and were easily adapted to any situation in which the defining circle was a decimal power. This 1534 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It contains the expected sine charts as well as numerous woodcut illustrations depicting protractor and arc readings. Note that this incredible work includes the original title page, which features a woodcut after Albrecht Durer.

[39], [1 blank] pp.First edition of Apianus s first full description of the "horoscopion", a geometric quadrant which could be used as a scientific instrument for determining the hour of the day astronomically and for measuring distances, heights and depths. In this work, Apianus describes not only the instrument itself, but also the practical application of it. The work is divided into four parts. The first part describes the instrument, the second part is strictly astronomical, the third part is devoted to solving problems by measuring heights, distances and depths of distant objects. The Horoscopion Apiani was printed at the author s own press at Ingolstadt. It was dedicated to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who granted Apianus a printing monopoly in 1532 and 1534 and who appointed Apianus later as his court mathematician. This work was, like all of Apianus s works, very influential and can therefore be regarded as a treasure for 16th-century mathematical and astronomical knowledge.Binding slightly rubbed, many wormholes throughout the whole book (sometimes affecting the text), a few small tears in the lower margin, last pages slightly water stained, first endpaper a bit crinkled, but still a rare work in good condition.l Adams, A-1290; Honeyman 112; Houzeau & Lancaster 2395; Stillwell 811; USTC 664150; Zinner, Astronomischen Literatur, 1512; for the author: DSB I, pp. 178-179.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1551 RARE Peter Apian Cosmographia Astronomy Navigation AMERICA Map Mathematics Peter Apian was a 16th-century humanist who is remembered for his studies in astronomy and mathematics. His best and most-known work was his book on cosmography which was extremely influential into the 17th-century. In this work, Apian discusses navigation by use of astronomy, utilizing woodcut illustrations to depict aspects of astronomy and navigation. Other illustrations include zodiac characters, planets, maps, and navigational instruments. Perhaps the most important aspect of this book is that it is one of the earliest works relating to America. In 1507, Martin Waldseemuler printed a map which included the word America for the first time. Cosmographiae Introductio was published as an accompaniment to that map. This 1551 edition was collected and annotated by Gemma Frisius, a famed Dutch cartographer. The illustrations found in this work are utterly impressive it even includes interactive engravings imitating navigational devices.
