"In this volume Apian published a table of sines that, for the first time, was based on a circle with a radius of a power of ten, in this case one hundred thousand. The values of the functions were thus decimal and were easily adapted to any situation in which the defining circle was a decimal power" (Tomash & Williams)
Kepler (Johannes) Chilias Logarithmorum ad totidem numeros rotundos, 1624; Supplementum Chilidis Logarithmorum, 1625, together 2 works in 1, first editions, folding table, woodcut diagrams, initials and head- and tail-pieces, browned, later vellum-backed decorative boards, a few leaves frayed, some repairs, [Tomash & Williams K24 & K26], 4to, Marburg, Caspar Chemlin, 1624-25.⁂ "Kepler had seen John Napier's Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio (1614) as early as 1617; but he did not study the new procedure carefully until by chance, the following year, he saw Napier's tables reproduced in a small book by Benjamin Ursinus. Kepler then grasped the potentialities offered by the logarithms; but lacking any description of their own construction, he re-created his own tables by a new geometrical procedure" (DSB VII, p.304).
Kepler (Johannes) Tabulae Rudolphinae, quibus Astronomicae Scientiae, Temporum longinquitate collapsae Restauratio continetur, first edition, additional engraved title becoming loose, L2/L3 double-page letterpress table with partial hand-colouring, folding manuscript table of logarithms bound in at end, a few margins repaired or remargined, including engraved title at foot and folding margin of k3, with some letters of side-notes supplied in manuscript, some worming, mostly marginal, a few gatherings (including "Sportula", sig. q, issued in 1629) browned, later half calf, rubbed, [Tomash & Williams K27; Houzeau & Lancaster 12754; Norman 1208], folio, Ulm, Jonas Saur, 1627.⁂ "The foundation of all planetary calculations for over a century." (Sparrow, Milestones of Science). Tycho Brahe asked Kepler to complete his Rudolphine tables, shortly before the former's death in 1601 - the resultant work, based on Kepler's discovery of the laws of planetary motion and on his introduction to logarithms, produced far more accurate positions than those in earlier tables. This copy includes the 4-leaf "Sportula genethliacis missa" published in 1629, but does not have Bartsch's appendix or the world map, both issued after 1627.
