APIANUS, Petrus (1495-1552). Instrumentum sinuum, seu primi mobilis . Nuremberg: Johannes Petrus, 1541
APIANUS, Petrus (1495-1552). Instrumentum sinuum, seu primi mobilis . Nuremberg: Johannes Petrus, 1541 2° (310 x 198mm). Title printed in red and black with large wooduct, arms on verso, numerous woodcut diagrams and initials. (Title remargined and with some repairs with minor loss, some marginal worming, the printer's name crossed-out.) Contemporary vellum, possibly a reimbotage (rebacked, new endpapers, some light staining, worming and rubbing). Provenance : extensive early annotations. Rare second edition of Apianus’ work first published in 1534. Apianus was ‘a pioneer in astronomical and geographical instrumentation, and one of the most successful popularizers of these subjects during the sixteenth century’ (DSB). His Instrumentum sinuum sive primi mobilis is of 'greater scientific significance’ than his Cosmographia : here he calculates sines for every minute, with the radius divided decimally and he prints these tables for the first time. Two different issues of this work seems to have been published, one called for in Adams with a work bound after, the other this issue which collates like the SBN.it and BSB copies. Adams A-1293 (variant issue). Only few copies of this work are recorded in ABPC/RBH.
