An attractive Sammelband in a strictly contemporary binding, containing small-format, portable editions of five important works of Renaissance astrology, all printed in Venice by the same printers between 1534 and 1535. This is a compendium of the major works of cosmology that would have been the object of study for contemporary scholars, the set of authorities which the new science of the Kepler and Galileo era would confront. 1. Harisse 202; see Karrow, p.53. 2. Palau 27542; Harisse 184 & Addenda 103; Sabin 27540; BL STC 393. 3. CNCE 32009; see Smith, Rara arithmetica 35. 4. Adams P2273. 5. Houzeau and Lancaster 2407.
5 works in one volume, octavo (150 x 97mm). All works with woodcuts in text, initials and (except for Sacrobosco) large printer’s device on verso of last leaf. Glareanus: double-page table (initial and final quires somewhat browned or soiled, some minor browning and spotting in the rest of the quires). Contemporary limp vellum (soiled, ties perished). Provenance: occasional contemporary annotations and underlining – 17th-c. ink shelfmark from a monastic library – F.F.M. Graz (old stamp on title).
