Renouard, 20:7; Houzeau-Lancaster, 2290; Schreiber, 27.

Première édition de l’Astronomicon de Lefèvre d’Étaples avec le commentaire de Clichtove. L’originale de 1503 fut publié sans le commentaire.

« Lefèvre’s Astronomicon, a brief introductory textbook on astronomy, contains a prefatory letter to Germain de Ganay, in which Lefèvre draws a sharp distinction between the false astrology of seers and « horoscope-makers, » the true science of the heavenly bodies (i.e. modern astronomy). This treatise  became quite popular and influential, and was reissued by H. Estienne 1517 with a commentary by Clichtove » (Schreiber).
