APIANO (Pedro). INSTRUMENTUM Primi Mobilis. Norimbergae. 1534.
APIANO (Pedro)
INSTRUMENTUM Primi Mobilis. À Petro Apiano nunc primum et inventum et in lucem editum. Ad cuius declarationem & intellectu[m] Pronunciata centu[m] hic proponuntur, ê quibus Instrumenti nobilissimi usus innotescit & compositio. Inquirere aute[m] & inuenire licebit in hoc instrumento, quicquid uspiam in universo primo mobili nova quada[n]sinuum ratione indagari potest: nec quicqua[m] in eo ipso primo mobili desiderare poterit, quod no[m] per instrumentum hoc inveniri facile queat. Assedunt ijs Gebri Filii Affla Hispalensis Astronomi vetustissimi pariter & peritissimi, libri IX. de Astronomia, ante aliquot secula Arabice scripti, & per Giriardu[m] Cremonensem latinitate donati, nunc vero omniu[m] in lucem editi. Omnia haec industria & benevolentia Petri Apiani Mathematici prelo comissa, & Reverendiss. in Christo patri & D. Christophoro à Stadio, &c.. Norimbergae: Apud Jo. Petreium, 1534.
a-k4, aa-rr4, ss6; [80], 146, [2 br.] pp.: il.; 320 mm. Contemporary full vellum; worm hole through all fólios on text.
