Stoeffler's Ephemerides updated by Pitati to include tables to assist calculations and predictions for the years 1548-1556. Stoeffler's work was itself a continuation of Regiomontanus. RARE: apparently not in the BL or any American institutions; WorldCat locates just two copies of this edition, at the BnF and at the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. Houzeau & Lancaster, 14471.
