The Knowledge of the times, or calendar and... - Lot 21 - Les ventes Damien Voglaire SRL
The Knowledge of the times, or calendar and ephemerides of the rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the other planets. The true places of these planets, both in longitude and latitude. Several other tables of astronomy for the year 1695. Paris, Michallet, 1695, in-12, engraved frontispiece, (10)-98 p. (the first quire after the frontispiece is in duplicate), one folding plate, full vellum (traces of handling). From the Nordkirschen library (bookplate). This annual publication was an "indispensable instrument for astronomers as well as for navigators ... Purely mathematical for almost a century, this journal had been able to evolve by integrating all the scientific novelties and interesting discoveries in a very specialized field and thanks to leading scientific personalities". (Françoise Bléchet, Dictionary of Journals).
