About this Item
Description:
First edition. Tall octavo. Blue cloth gilt. Slight overall wear, still fine. A classic and highly regarded text broken down into two major parts: "A History of Greek Astronomy to Aristarchus" and "Aristarchus's Treatise On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon." The book demonstrates that Aristarchus wrote the first written document which upheld the Copernican theory eighteen-hundred years before that treatise was published. In the preface, Heath defends Aristarchus from his critics while lauding his mathematics and astronomy as superior work. Seller Inventory # 464437
