Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

"Being the illustrious astronomer's exposition of the lore of the World and the Heavenly Sphere, together with the stories of the planets and constellations: now for the first time rendered complete into English, and reproducing all the original woodcut illustrations form the first illustrated edition printed by Erhard Ratdolt in Venice, 1482." NOTE: Because of the rarity of this book the library would not allow me to scan it, so instead I photographed each page using a DSLR camera. Therefore some sections of pages are slightly out of focus, and I apologize for any inconvenience.
