Nuremberg/ Norimbergae: Heirs of Homann, c. 1742. Edition: First Edition of Doppelmayr’s important astronomic, Binding: Contemporary full calf; panelled with outer double gilt filleted border and inner single fillet; expertly rebacked with five (5) raised bands, gilt lettered title on brown morocco label on two and gilt ornamental design in remaining compartments; dated at bottom; red-black marbled endpapers. , Notes: Text and captions in Latin. Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (27 September 1677 – 1 December 1750) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and cartographer. (His surname is also spelled Doppelmayer and Doppelmair.) His studies included mathematics, physics, and jurisprudence. In 1698 he graduated with a dissertation on the Sun. After giving up his legal studies he then spent two years travelling and studying in Germany, Holland, and England, spending time at Utrecht, Leiden, Oxford, and London. He continued to study astronomy and learned to grind and figure his own telescope lenses. The DSB describes this work as a collection of diagrams with its explanations intended as introduction into the fundamentals of astronomy, explaining the systems of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, and Riccioli, the elliptic theories of Kepler, Boulliau, Seth Ward, and Mercator, as well as the lunar theories of Tycho Brahe, Horrocks and Newton, and Halley's cometary theory. The atlas shows constellations, cometary plates, lunar maps, lunar theories, charts of satellite systems, and the motion of planets with plates depicting celestial charts with diagrams, tables and views of observatories. , Size: Folio; (535x321mm)., Illustration: Illustrated allegorical title by J. C. Reinsberger depicting Claud. Ptolemy, Nic. Copernicus, Ioh. Kepler and Tycho Brahe. preceding title in red and black with vignette of the heavens; extra illustrated with two additional double-page celestial maps entitled: 1. “SPHAERARUM ARTIFICIALIUM TYPICA REPRAESENTATIO” and 2.“PLANISPHAERIUM CAELESTE”; with the complete set of thirty (30) astronomical and cosmographical double-page plates in colour as listed under Rodney Shirley C.DOP-1c, p.1336/7., Provenance: upper pasted endpaper bookplate of William Phelps. , References: Shirley II, C.DOP-1c, 1136/7; DSB IV, 166; Brown: 51; Warner, Sky: 64a; Sotheran I: 1080; Poggendorff I: 593; LGK I: 177., Pages: Ff. [2f bl.], Illustrated half-title leaf, illustrated title leaf, 32 double-page engraved plates, [2f bl.]., Category: Book Astronomy; Book Europe Germany; Book Atlas & Cartography. Near fine copy of the famous celestial atlas of copper engravings in contemporary hand-colour and attractive, expertly restored contemporary binding; lacking the index sheet; two minor repaired tears at lower margins; fine plates depicting the solar system, planetary motions, constellations, a moon map; small views featuring famous observatories in Berlin, Kassel, Nuremberg and Danzig.
