Lalande, 286; Houzeau & Lancaster, 15174; DSB, I, 244-245.<\/i><\/p>\n
The most complete edition, finely illustrated with engraved frontispiece, portrait, one plate in volume one and several engravings in the text.<\/p>\n
Andrea Argoli (1570-1659) taught mathematics at the “Sapienza” in Rome between 1622 and 1627, after which he moved to Padua. The Ephemerides cover the years 1641 to 1700.<\/p>\n
“Argoli’s extensive Ephemerides… which were based on the observations of Tycho Brahe, gave a permanence to his reputation that his other writings would scarcely have achieved” (DSB).<\/p>\n
The first volume starts with Argoli’s Astronomicorum<\/i>, in which he develops his own geocentric system.<\/p>\n
Good copy, albeit some occasional worming in the margins.<\/p>\n
