The first edition had been printed in 1598 on Brahe's own press at Heinrich Rantzov's castle at Wandbeck, near Hamburg, the forty copies of which Brahe distributed privately. The illustrations of this published 1602 edition were printed from the same blocks and plates, which were sold by the author's heirs to Levinus Hulsius, with the addition of the portrait and the engraving of an armillary sphere on C6 verso, replacing a woodcut. The work also contains a short autobiography and a summary of the principal results of Brahe's observations, and an appendix in which the construction of the observatories is shown.In 1576, King Frederick II had heard of Brahe's plans to move to Basel to further his experiments, he offered Tycho permanent the island of Hven in the Danish Sound to use as he saw fit. There Brahe constructed the most advanced astronomical observatory of his time, which he christened Uraniborg (Heavenly castle)., but hen he realized that the Palladian style towers were not adequate because of the instruments' exposure to the elements and the movement of the building, he constructed a second underground observatory at nearby Stjerneborg, whose basement also housed an alchemical laboratory with 16 furnaces for conducting distillations and other chemical experiments. Unusually for the time, he also established a research centre, where almost 100 students and artisans worked from 1576 to 1597. The library housed Brahe's brass-encased globe, now preserved in Copenhagen: 'On this globe, over the years, Tycho marked the exact positions, referred to the year 1600, of the fixed stars that he observed... In the southwest room on the ground floor at Uraniborg... was Tycho's most famous instrument, the mural quadrant, with a radius of about six feet... Inside the quadrant's arc, for ornamental purposes, was painted a life-size portrait of Tycho seated at a table, with arm outstretched as though pointing to a cylinder...'
