An Explanation of the Gnomonic Projection of the SphereAugustus De Morgan1836Baldwin and Cradock1st 126ClothThe book explains the construction and use of the their "Maps of the Stars" and "Six Maps of the Earth". The original owner of this book was Hugh Lee Pattinson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Lee_Pattinson), who was an English industrial chemist, known for developing a process for refining silver. He is also known for his early daguerreotype photographs, and he was also a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. His great granddaughter was Gertrude Bell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Bell). Hugh Pattinson's bookplate is present on the front endpaper, but someone erased his name. I was able to validate (https://library.artstor.org/...) that the bookplate belonged to Hugh Pattinson. His arms Ex Vile Pretiosa (from base materials to precious ) reflect his discovery of the silver refining process.

La Nature et Présage des Comètes. Ouvrage Mathematique, Physique, Chimique & Historique; Enrichi des Propheties des derniers Siecles, et de la fabrique des grandes lunettesClaude Comiers1665Charles Mathevet1st 395VellumThis volume is missing all the introductory sheets (including the title) and sheets 415 to 499 (as well as the table). It is composed as follows: pp. 1-352, then cccliij-ccclx, then pp. 353-368, then pp. 387-398, then pp. 401-414. In addition to the missing leaves mentioned above, there are therefore still two paginated leaves in Roman numerals (placed between pages 352 and 353), pages 369 to 387 and pages 399-400. It is illustrated with 10 figures (/ 11) in the text engraved on wood. In full, the work consists of 7 treatises (2 important and 5 little developed in fine): On the nature of comets - Omens of comets - The end of the world - The list of 20 books on the Antichrist - The 28 popes who are yet to come before the end of the world - The prophecies of a King of France - The way to make the big glasses. Our copy contains only the two main treatises (cut off from the very last pages of the second). The work was most certainly partly untied due to the shortages and has been restored to restore its body (poor quality work), the guards have been renewed. Burnished interior, foxing, a few rings or wettings, some traces of worms in the lower corner (far from the text), horny leaves, paper patch on the margin of the foot of a leaf, broken lines of notebooks (firmly attached but poorly sewn).

NAVTECHMISEU was a US Navy intelligence unit that was formed in December 1944, whose mission was to exploit German science and technology for the benefit of the Navy Department's technical bureaus.

This atlas was produced while the author was at the Woodlawn Observatory, located at Mandeville Jamaica. That observatory was established by the Harvard Observatory to observe the asteroid Eros in an attempt to determine the size of the Earth's orbit. The observations of Eros did not turn out as hoped, and this lunar atlas was an attempt to salvage the expedition. The front cover has a tipped-in silver print of the moon.

This particular copy came out of the estate of Peter Abrahams, who was a member of the American Astronomical Society's History of Astronomy Division.

Ephemerides Motuum Coelestium GeometricaeJohann Gabriel Doppelmayrcirca 1750Homann's Heirs  1UnboundA celestial chart showing the motions of the planets according to the Copernican theory of the solar system. This print was not published in Doppelmayr's "Atlas Coelestis" but another atlas published by Homann Heirs. If this print was from "Atlas Coelestis" it would have the Arabic numeral 8 printed in the upper right corner. Instead, this copy has the Roman numeral XIII printed at the bottom center. The print first appeared in Homann’s "Atlas von Hundert Charten" (1712) and reprinted in Homann’s "Grossen Atlas" (1716). It then appeared in "Atlas Coelestis" (1742) when Doppelmayr compiled all of his celestial engravings into his monumental work. This particular print probably appeared in an another atlas sometime after 1742.

Systema Solare Et PlanetariumJohann Gabriel Doppelmayr1742Homann's Heirs1st 1UnboundA celestial chart that depicts the Copernican cosmological system in the center. The upper left corner attempts to show the planets to scale with the Sun. The upper right corner shows heavenly clouds and other star systems that were thought to exist. The lower left shows the solar eclipse of May, 12, 1796. The lower right corner a depiction of a lunar eclipse is shown and below that we see the three cosmological systems of the time introduced by Urania, the muse of astronomy. Those systems are the Ptolemaic System, The Tychonic System, and the Copernican System. Urania clearly favors the Copernican System. This is probably the most desirable print from Doppelmayr's "Atlas Coelestis". The plate for this print was engraved sometime around 1720.
