- First edition of the first translation from the original Greek of Ptolemy of Alexandria's Almagest, an important textbook of mathematical astronomy. The Almagest, which had previously been available only in a translation made by Gherardo da Cremona from an Arabic version, was translated directly from the Greek by George of Trebizond for Pope Nicolas V in 1451. Trebizond's translation made its first appearance in print in the Giunta ed. of 1528, revised and edited by the distinguished astronomer and mathematician Luca Gaurico. The thirteen sections deal with the motions of celestial bodies, presenting a geocentric model of the universe which governed the thinking of European and Arab scientists until Copernicus. Ptolemy explains the nature of eclipses, equinoxes, how to observe the planets, how to predict their movements, and how to make astronomical calculations, using instruments such as the armillary, plinth, and triquetrum
- Imprint from colophon
- Printed in small roman type, with some portions in gothic or Greek type; t.p. in red and black; printed marginal notes and tables
