Add to basketCouverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition Originale. (1), 44 pp, (1) p. Reliure d'époque plein cuir brun, plats à double filets dorés, dos orné, dentelle intérieure, gardes marbrées, pièce de titres rouges, tranches rouges. Rare édition originale de cette monographie, réalisée par le cartographe et astronome Joseph-Nicolas… Delisle (frère du géographe Guillaume Delisle) et Alexandre-Guy Pingré. Elle comprend 6 planches dépliantes gravées par Jean Lattré et imprimées par Jean-Thomas Hérissant, dont le fameux grand Plan dépliant de la ville Tartare de Peking gravé par Dheulland (dim 54,2 x 45 cm), et 5 autres plans dépliants: le Plan général des deux villes qui composent Peking, Plan du Ti-Ouang-Miao où est honorée la mémoire des empereurs Chinois décédés avant que la famille actuellement régnante occupât le trône, Plan du Koue-Tse-Kien-Ouen-Miao, ou de la salle de cérémonie où Confucius est honoré, Plan du Tien-Tan, ou Temple dédié au souverain Seigneur du Ciel, Plan du Ti-Tan ou du Temple dédié au souverain Seigneur de la Terre. Il y est décrit la fondation de la ville, des palais et temples, suivi de quelques observations sur le Li également appelé le mile chinois, l'unité traditionnelle chinoise de la distance. Des observations astronomiques y sont décrites, de façon à déterminer la position de Pékin par rapport aux autres villes dans le monde. En début de texte, Delisle décrit le déroulé des évènements ayant conduit à la parution de cet ouvrage. Il y fait référence aux missionnaires jésuites Gaubil et Patouillet, et parle de Pingré comme son "associé". Il explique que le père Patouillet lui avait demandé de réaliser un plan de Pékin pour l'insérer dans les "lettres édifiantes et curieuses" dans lesquelles il collaborait; mais le père Patouillet fut dans l'incapacité de poursuivre son travail, aussi Delisle et son associe Pingré décidèrent de continuer sans lui et, avec les éléments reçus au travers de sa correspondance avec le père Gaubil, et grâce à toutes les informations qu'il a recueillies avec les astronomes, géographes et savants de tous horizons, ont réussi à rendre compte de tous ces éléments et les transcrire dans ce livre.

Woodcut headpieces and numerous letterpress tables in text, errata leaf bound at end of vol. I.

I starting but cords holding, hinges of vol. II partly cracked, remnant of paper label to vol. I), marbled endpapers, red-dyed edges. Text clean with only minor spotting and browning, titles little browned in margins and with erased stamps and paper slip pasted over old signature. Very good copy. ---- Honeyman 2484 ; Nouv. Biogr. Génér. 40, 269/70 - FIRST EDITION, of Pingré's monumental Cométographie, one of the most important books on the subject, still recommended as a source for cometary studies in the 1950s. "Pingré's most important work" (Honeyman) deals with the phenomenon of comets from a historic, astronomic and mathematical perspective. Divided in four parts, it examines the history of astronomy in the first, beginning with an account of Babylonian and Egyptian science. In the following section a thorough catalogue of all comets observed since antiquity is given, which still constitutes a major source of information. The third part deals with theories on the nature of comets and their potential physical effects on the life on earth, while the final section discusses methods for the computation of cometary orbits. Pingré (died 1795) was a famous French astronomer who participated in several scientific voyages, and he was the first to make good observations of VENUS. He was for some time chancellor of Paris University and also librarian of Sainte-Géneviève. This is his principal work and copies have become VERY RARE.

Add to basketIn-8 de 43 pp., cartonnage d'époque. Document rare sur la Colonne de la Halle au Blé à Paris. Édition originale de ce mémoire en deux parties de Alexandre-Guy Pingré (1711-1796), astronome et bibliothécaire de Sainte-Geneviève ; la première partie comporte une description et un historique de la colonne que Catherine de Médicis f…it ériger sur la place de l'hôtel de Soissons et qui fut sauvée de la destruction en 1741 par Bachaumont.Pingré donne dans la seconde partie l'explication de ses propres travaux : « Mais il ne suffisait pas de conserver la colonne. M. de Viarmes décida qu'il fallait la rendre aussi utile qu'elle le pouvait être. Il est donc arrêté qu'au bas de la colonne on pratiquera une fontaine, dont l'utilité ne fera pas équivoque. Quant au corps même de la colonne, il a été délibéré qu'elle serait rendue astronomique, d'astrologique qu'elle était, dit-on dans la première destination. M. de Viarmes en conséquence m'a fait l'honneur de me proposer d'y tracer un cadran qui marquât non seulement toutes les heures du jour, mais encore l'entrée du Soleil dans tous les signes du Zodiaque. C'est de ce cadran dont il me reste maintenant la description » (Catalogue de la Bibliothèque Lacombe, 2067).Poggendorf I, 453, 454 ; Lalande, p.489.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Copper Plate Engraving. A projection by Pingré of the Transit of Venus 3 June 1769, published in 1767, 478 x 244mm image size, light creases from old folds, framed with good margins, very good indeed in Hogarth frame. The National Maritime Museum holds 2 copies of 'Mémoire sur le choix et l'état…des lieux où le passage de Vénus du 3 Juin 1769 pourra être observe avec le plus d'avantage' and in each case the map is present and the title page is dated 1767. The Biblioteque Nationale de France lists this item with a date of 1769, no place, no date, however the 'Mémoire' lists it clearly as 1767. Published in Paris as part of the 'l'Académie Royale des Sciences' in 1767, the 'Mémoire sur le choix et l'état des lieux où le passage de Vénus du 3 Juin 1769 pourra être observe avec le plus d'avantage: et principalement sur la position géographique des isles de la mer du Sud' / par M. Pingré.Comparison with Guillaume De L'Isle's 1714 'Hemisphere pour voir Les Terres/Meridional plus distinctement Australes' confirms that there are differences in the geographical information presented (e.g. on the coast of New Zealand, the Pingré names 'B.e des Meurtriers', which is not a name used in the De L'Isle map; around 265 degrees longitude Pingre describes land seen by the Spanish in 1714, and De L'Isle does not.) The 'land' depicted is most probably a reef. Produced before both Cook's 1769-1770 voyage to New Zealand via Tahiti to record the Transit of Venus on 3 June 1769 and the Transit itself. The chart in the Turnbull Library (Wellington, NZ) has the depiction labelled from Abel Tasman's voyage and sighting of the South Island in 1642. What Tasman named 'Moordenaars baey' (Golden Bay today) is located on the northern shore of the South Island along Cook Strait, the orientation of the coastline in his 1642 map extends north to south rather than the correct east to west. As Cook's excellent chart of New Zealand was still six years away from being published, Pingré based his depiction of New Zealand on the only available map, i.e. Tasman's, and followed the same (incorrect) orientation of the coastline. Alexandre Guy Pingré C.R.S.A. (1711-1796) was a French canon regular, astronomer and naval geographer. At an early age Pingré had developed an interest in astronomy, and in 1749 he was appointed professor of astronomy at the newly founded Academy of Rouen. He would eventually be appointed the librarian of the Abbey of St. Genevieve in Paris, and the university's chancellor. At St. Genevieve he would build an observatory, and continue to work there for forty years. During the 1761 transit of Venus, Pingré went on one of the three observing campaigns organized by the Académie Royale, travelling to Rodrigues Island near Madagascar, which was unsuccessful. In 1767 he sailed to the Baltic with Charles Messier to test marine chronometers. Two years later he joined a successful expedition to Haiti to observe the Venus transit of 1769. In 1771 he participated in the naval survey of the frigate 'La Flore' with Verdun de la Crenne and Borda. The ship, however, was seized by British forces at sea, and Pingré was deposited in Portugal, having lost all his notes. He continued to publish his work, however, until his death in 1796.In July /August 2024 scientists led by the Schmidt Ocean Institute discovered a new underwater mountain (Seamount) 900 miles off the Chile coast rising 2 miles (3,100 metres) from the sea floor with thriving deep-sea ecosystems, ancient corals and glass sponges previously unknown. Already scientists estimate they may have found more than 100 species unknown to science and situated in close proximity to the 'land discovered in 1714' as shown on Pingré's chart.
