MOLETI, Giuseppe (1531-1588). Tabulae Gregorianae motuum octauae sphaerae ac Luminarium ad vsum Calendarii ecclesiastici, & ad vrbis Romae Meridianum supputatae ... Adiecti sunt libri duo de corrigendo calendario, & de vsu Computi ecclesiastici. Venice: P. Dehuchinus, 1580. 4° (277 x 207mm). Woodcut headpiece, initial and two diagrams, the last two quires printed in red and black. (Occasional light foxing.) Contemporary limp vellum. Provenance: Compagnia del Gesú (book label and stamp on title).
Moleti earned a reputation for brilliance at an early age and, before taking up a chair at the University of Padua, was called to Mantua to teach the Duke's son mathematics. The tables of the calendar, which he undertook for the republic of Venice, were named Gregorian and proved to be of great use in the calendar's reform. Gregory rewarded their author with a gift of 300 ducats. Riccardi I, 164-65: 'Questa ediz. va noverata fra le più splendide del sec. XVI, sia per bellezza dei caratteri, sia per la qualità della carta e della impressione ... Quest'opera redatta per ordine di Gregorio XIII fu quella all'a. maggior fama di distinto astronomo'.
