DOPPELMAYR, Johann Gabriel (1671-1750). Neue und grundliche Anweisung, wie nach einer universalen Methode grosse Sonnen-Uhren. Nuremburg: Johann Michael Sporlin, for Johann Christoph Weigel, 1719.
A fine, clean copy of this rare work on sundials.
Folio, engraved frontispiece by Johann Georg Puschner, 20 engraved plates mounted on stubs, one of which double-page with a double-hemisphere world map (this misbound upside-down). Contemporary vellum with yapp edges, title lettered at head of spine, red edges. Provenance: Fürstlich Solms-Lich'sche Bibliothek (small circular stamp on title).
Doppelmayr was a German astronomer, geographer and cartographer whose scientific abilities were held in such high esteem that he was a member of the Academia Caesarea Leopoldina, the academies of Berlin and St Petersburg, and the Royal Society in London.
The basis of this book was a treatise on sundials by Eberhard Welper first published 1625, which Doppelmayr greatly expanded. The double-page plate shows a double-hemisphere world map showing California as an island.
