In both cases, the novel constellations had first appeared on globes, which inevitably had only a limited circulation. Printed charts could be produced in far greater numbers than globes and hence were more widely seen. As a result Bartsch, like Bayer before him, was often incorrectly credited with inventing the new constellations he depicted. In reality, neither Bayer nor Bartsch invented any constellations; they simply transmitted the inventions of others to a wider audience. Bartsch's book (really a manual of practical astronomy) included three foldout star charts: a north polar planisphere (left) and two equatorial strips extending to declination 55° south. There was no south polar chart. According to the Smithsonian historian Deborah Jean Warner in her book The Sky Explored, Bartsch plotted 1,111 stars on his charts, about two-thirds the number on Bayer's much larger atlas." - Teils etwas gebräunt, die drei Sternenkarten in Teil 2 verbunden. - Zu 2: Seltene erste Ausgabe. - DG 12.4711 - VD17 23:237682B - Zinner, Astronomische Literatur 4968 - nicht bei Honeyman und Houzeau/L. - Wie meist ohne die gestochenen Beigaben. - Leicht gebräunt. - Zu 3: Seltene erste Ausgabe der mehrfach aufgelegten Abhandlung.

Montanus & U. Neuber, 1551.⁂ Rare and important work with a most distinguished provenance, in excellent condition and in its strictly contemporary binding. The Honeyman copy of the first edition of the collected works by Johann Schöner, mathematician, astronomer, cartographer, and scientific instrument maker from Karlstadt, in Bavaria. Schöner was a contemporary of Nicolaus Copernicus and in 1526 he became the first professor of mathematics at the University of Nuremberg. His most illustrious pupil was Georg Joachim Rheticus, who in the Narratio prima (1540) announced Copernicus' discoveries. Schöner was also active as a printer and even set up a press in his house, printing numerous previously unpublished works by Johannes Regiomontanus, as well as the first printed terrestrial globe to name the recently discovered continent of America. The Opera mathematica was published posthumously by his son Andreas and is introduced by a preface by the outstanding humanist and reformer Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560). The volume contains a representative sample of Schöner's wide and diverse interests, and a digest of some of his separately published works, most of which are extremely rare. Part 3 contains the most important section, which describes and illustrates eleven instruments, under the title Aequatorium Astronomicum, ex quo errantium stellarum motus, luminarium configurationes, & defectus colliguntur, a revised and enlarged version of the work which first appeared in 1521. The Aequatorium Astronomicum contains the earliest collection of printed equatoria-diagrams, as well as a catalogue of stars adapted by Schöner from that published by Copernicus in his De revolutionibus of 1543. The text is illustrated by an elaborate series of volvelles (movable wheel charts) used to determine planetary positions. Each part of these volvelles was printed on a separate page, such that the reader could cut them out or trace them on separate pieces of paper, and then assemble the various parts with string. These fragile 'paper instruments', which Schöner was among the first to employ, are frequently lacking or only partially present in most other copies of this work, and they are very often constructed incorrectly. This copy is exceptionally complete and includes all the volvelles, some still with their original thread.

Altenburgensis'); the English politician and book collector Sir Robert Leicester Harmsworth (1870-1937; his sale at Sotheby's London, 9 February 1953, lot 9605); Robert Honeyman IV (1897- 1987; see The Honeyman Collection of Scientific Books and Manuscripts.

They would later also occupy the premises next door at numbers 31 and 30 Fleet Street. In 1859, the company took over an extensive pile known as Caxton Buildings in South John Street, Liverpool, which became the company's headquarters in the city. Through the use of new power-driven printing machinery George Philips and Son became largest publishers of cartography and geographical works in the Country, as well as specialising in producing globes and planispheres for educational use. Over the years George Philips and Son Ltd took over the production lines of other firms including Malby (active 1845-1860), Betts (active 1844-1875), Smith (active 1799-1888) and Johnston (1802-1871); and in 1984 celebrated their 150th year anniversary. The company was sold in 1989 and later became part of the Octopus Publishing Group. ϒ  Indicates that this lot may be subject to CITES regulations when exported.
