Sobre este item
Lyon: Leonard Plaignard, 1691. 4th. Good. Brown leather over boards with gilded spine. Binding holding tightly. Fore edges colored red. Frontispiece present. Complete with 72 plaques, (of which two are folding) bound after the text. Engravings include a complete accounting of the Zodiac and additional means of reading the stars. In full contemporary calfskin boards, quite worn, with joints cracked, and loss at head and tail, gilt-tooled spine; small marginal waterstain at the back depicting a variety of means to reading sun dials, moon dials, and at sea. First published in 1641, it was very successful and was reprinted several times. This fourth edition is revised and enlarged; it contains at the end some chapters of stereotomy. By applying the principles of spherical trigonometry, the author indicates the methods for constructing all kinds of sundials and tracing them on all kinds of supports, but also Moon dials or methods of knowing the time at night using the stars. The work ends with elements of stereotomy.

Sobre John and Tabitha's Kerriosity Bookshop
I love books. Always an eager reader, I started collecting Antiquarian books while a teenager and studying history. Flash forward a couple of decades and I am excited to open a new all-digital bookstore to continue my love of books, while bringing desired books to readers, collectors, and other sellers. From Post-Incunables to modern First Editions, I will be regularly adding new stock.
