"Della Sfera del Mondo" and "Delle Stelle Fisse" by Alessandro Piccolomini - 1552

Two volumes in one. "Della Sfera del Mondo" is a discussion of Ptolemaic cosmography. "Delle Stelle Fisse" is an accompanying star atlas consisting of 47 star charts and is considered as the first true star atlas. This atlas was once owned by Giovanni Andrea Fasano, priest at Sant' Angelo dei Lom bardi, convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie (17th century title inscription) and another priest of the same convent (inscription on title verso, presumably his extensive notes on saying mass on endpapers).
