Item Overview

Description

This impressive, large folio celestial engraving is from Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr's Atlas coelestis in quo Mundus Spectabilis. The work was published in Nuremberg in 1742 by Homann's Heirs. Each engraving features original hand-coloring. This is the first and only edition of Doppelmayr's celestial atlas.

The work featured an impressive frontispiece by J.C. Reinsperger after J.J. Preisler showing Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler and Tycho Brahe discussing the planetary motions. The work featured star charts, a selenographic map, diagrams illustrating the planetary systems (of Copernicus, Brahe, and Riccioli), elliptic theories (of Kepler, Boulliau, Seth Ward, and Mercator), lunar theories (of Brahe, Horrocks, and Newton), and Halley's theory of comets.
