JOHANNES DE SACRO BOSCO (fl. ca.1230-1240). Sphaera mundi. -GERARDUS DE SABLONETA (fl. mid 13th century). Theorica planetarum. Venice: Franciscus Renner, de Heilbronn, 1478.
Chancery 4° (208x139mm). Collation: a-b8 c-d6 e-f10 (a1 preface, Sphaera mundi, d6v blank, e1r Theorica planetarum, f10v colophon, verses by Franciscus Niger). 42 (of 48 leaves, lacking a4-7 and e2.9) leaves. 25 lines. Types: 5:109bR (text), 6:65G (inscriptions on diagrams). Red printing (incipits to each work), 11 diagrams (4 in facsimile), some lightly hand-coloured, woodcut capitals (originally used by Maler and Ratdolt). (Quire a and outer bifolia of b and f rehinged, slight tear in f10 repaired, upper corner of a1 torn affecting 3 letters, repaired, very light dampstain in a and b.) Early 20th century binding of printed leaf over pastepaper boards. Provenance: 17th-century foliation.
FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION of these important works of medieval astronomy. Where the earlier four editions had left blank spaces for the scientific diagrams, Renner had made this set of woodcuts, some of which were then lightly coloured by hand. Both this text of Sacrobosco and that of Gerardus, often mistaken for Gerard of Cremona, attempt to explain the theoretical workings of the universe and were standard university texts; this is their third publication as a pair. The Klotz copy was once apparently part of a tract volume. HC *14108; BMC V, 195 (IA. 19869); Goff J-402; Pellechet-Polain 6705; Klebs 874.6; IGI 5340; IDO 2701; CIBN J-268; BSB I-500
