Venice: Johannes Lucilius Santritter and Hieronymus de Sanctis, 31 March 1488. 4 o (190 x 143 mm). Collation : A 1 0 B 8 BB 1 2 C 8 D 8 + 1 E-F 8 G6. 69 leaves. 35 lines. Type: 5:82R (text); 10:65G and 24bis:55G (legends on diagrams). First paragraph (seven lines) on A2r printed in red. 12- and 6-line woodcut initials, woodcut printer's device, two full-page woodcuts (Astronomia, Urania and Ptolemy on A1v and an armillary sphere on A4v), numerous woodcut diagrams (eight printed in colors: seven in black and either ochre or red, one in black, red and ochre). (Some minor ink staining.) 19th-century vellum. Provenance : contemporary annotations in a miniscule hand (some in the Sacrobosco text trimmed by binder); W.M. Grimshaw (signature on front pastedown); Robert Honeyman (his sale part VI, Sotheby's London, 11 November 1980, lot 2721). An early edition with color-printed illustrations. Based on Ptolemy and his Arabic commentators, Sacrobosco's treatise was the fundamental astronomical text of the late middle ages, and was taught in all the schools of Europe until well into the 16th-century. The illustrations are early examples of stencil coloring in more than one color. Sacrobosco's popular Sphaera mundi is accompanied by Georgius Peurbach, Theoricae novae planetarum and Regiomantanus, Disputationes contra Cremonensia .

(Some browning and staining.) Reprinted from Ratdolt's Venetian edition of 1485, with the omission of obsolete matter, and some changes of arrangement. Ratdolt moved back to his home town from Venice in 1486. The types used in this edition were also used at Venice. BMC II:383; BSB-Ink. R-73; Goff R-97; HC 13780; IGI 5314.
