Rheticus (Georg Joachim, 1514-1574; former owner). Procli, De sphaera liber I. Cleomedis, De mundo ... Arati Solensis Phaeonomena ... Dionysii Afri, Descriptio orbis habitabilis. Omnia Graece et Latine ita coniuncta ... una cum Ioan. Honteri Coronensis De Cosmographiae rudimentis, Basel: Sebastian Henricpetri, 1561, 5 parts in 1 volume, Proclus's work with woodcut illustrations in text including an armillary sphere, astronomical diagrams and a vignette of Proclus teaching, Honter's work with 12 double-page woodcut maps each with additional single-page woodcut map to conjugate leaf verso, complete with the final leaf (blank except for publisher's woodcut device verso), browning, damp-staining to lower margins, concomitant holes to first 4 leaves including title-page, title-page with central 4 cm diagonal closed tear, contemporary inscription 'Ioachimo Rhaetico' in ink to head with initial 'I' just trimmed (see note), and later inscriptions including 'Seminarii Studiosoru[m] Religios[orum] Vienna, Anno 1620 12 April', later half morocco, rebacked retaining most of original spine, crudely recoloured, 8vo (15 x 9 cm) (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574), inscribed 'Ioachimo Rhaetico' ('From Joachim Rheticus') at the head of the title-page, in Rheticus's hand. An extraordinary and newly discovered association copy throwing light on the career of one the principal actors in the scientific revolution of the 16th century. Rheticus was the sole pupil of Nicolaus Copernicus, and the meeting between the two at Frombork in 1539 is considered without question to mark 'the beginning of modern astronomy' (DSB XI p. 359). He is perhaps remembered chiefly for encouraging Copernicus finally to consent to the publication of De Revolutionibus (1543), and for seeing the work through the press at Nuremberg while Copernicus lay dying; but it was in fact Rheticus's own account of his teacher's system, the Narratio prima (1540), which was the first published exposition of Copernican heliocentrism. Basel printers Heinrich Petri (1508-1579) and son Sebastian (1546-1626) were distant relatives of Johann Petreius, printer of the first edition of De Revolutionibus . In 1566, five years after their printing of the present compilation, they issued the second edition of De Revolutionibus , which was the first also to contain the Narratio Prima . Rheticus was a prolific correspondent at the centre of European intellectual life in the mid-16th century, and a handful of books with his inscription are known to exist in libraries or are attested in surviving letters and other sources. The National Library of Sweden holds a copy of Sacrobosco's Sphera mundi and other texts (Venice: Giunta, 1518) which contains the similar inscription 'Ioachimo Rhaetico', also in Rheticus's hand (shelfmark Stockholm K. Bibl., 106A, Fol, RAR; see further Goddu, 'Copernicus's Annotations: Revisions of Czartoryski's "Copernicana"', Scriptorium , 58 (2), 2004. p. 207). The only other example of a book inscribed by Rheticus we trace in commercial records is the legendary Horblit-O'More-Beltrame copy of De Revolutionibus , presented to Andreas Aurifarber, which achieved a record price for a printed book relating to the history of science when it realised $473,000 at auction in 1989 (see Gingerich, An Annotated Census of Copernicus' De revolutionibus , I.117). Adams P2134 (under Proclus); Houzeau & Lancaster 767; Sabin 65940; Shirley, World 108 & British Isles 69; VD16 P 4970. First edition of this compendium of cosmographical treatises to include Johannes Honter's De Cosmographiae rudimentis , which here contains Honter's double-page cordiform world map and maps of Malta, Mallorca, Cyprus, southern Africa, Madeira, Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula (as well as the Persian Gulf), India, Java, Sri Lanka ('Taprobana') and elsewhere; the first edition of Honter's work, printed at Krakow in 1530, is exceptionally rare and was printed with a double-page world map only. Heinrich Petri had previously issued a compendium containing Proclus's work together with those of Cleomedes and Aratus in 1547; the present iteration, containing Honter's text, was reprinted in 1585.AMENDMENT 9/12/2019:One party has noted that the inscription can also be read as ‘To Joachim Rhaeticus’, in the dative case, and that the inscription is not necessarily in Rheticus’s autograph.Additional information including images of other known inscriptions which in our opinion supports our attribution can be provided to bidders on request.
