Very rare work of mathematician and astronomer Ignazio Danti of Perugia, lecturer in mathematics and astronomy at the Ateneo Bologna [drew in San Petronio's famous gnomon], author of the famous treatise on the astrolabius. The work of Danti collects, 45 summary tables, the main branches of astronomy and mathematics [including geography, perspective, painting, architecture, fortification, science mirrors, mechanics, hydrography, etc.]. Riccardi, I / col. 392, n. 5: "Rare ... It 'a tree species science of mathematics, very interesting for those involved in the historical classification of these sciences." Poggendorff, I / 520; Zeitlinger, Bibl. Ch. Math II Suppl., N. 1322: "Rare". The second work tied together with Danti, is actually the work of Francis P. Chiabrandi, and Corneffer is only its curator. The Tablet described, which is attached to the model, is shown as adapted to measure the ascensions and perform various astronomical calculations instead of the globe. The work is described by Riccardi, I / 347; but question citation secondhand. Cf. Also Houzeau-Lancaster, n. 9969. The third work, bound with Danti, is an essay in history anonymous and probably unfinished.

Small restoration on the corner of the Title page of the work of Danti. All fresh copies.
