SCHÖNER, Johann. Opera Mathematica. Nuremberg: J. Montanus and U. Neuber, 1551. 3 parts in one volume, 2 o (315 x 198 mm). Title printed in red and black with woodcut ornaments, woodcut portrait of author on last page of preliminaries, numerous large and small woodcuts and diagrams, including a full-page cut of Schöner's terrestial globe, 11 WOODCUT VOLVELLES MOSTLY COLORED IN A CONTEMPORARY HAND, two diagrams with thread, woodcut printer's device at end. (Upper right corner of title repaired, slightly affecting woodcut vignette, some minor marginal repairs, minor browning and staining, last blank missing.) Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over pasteboards (minor staining, rubbing to corners, lacking silk ties). Provenance : Jan Novel (inscription), given to him on 20 May 1595 by Madame de Carllin; Antoine Quartier (inscription), given to him by Henri de Macognin, almoner at the Augustinian monastery of Canons Regular in Saint-Maurice (Villars-Gryon, Switzerland). FIRST EDITION, with a preface by Philip Melanchthon. Schöner's star catalogue, in the section "Coelestis globi compositio," is an adaptation of the star list published in 1543 by Nicolaus Copernicus in his De revolutionibus for the epoch 1551. In 1551, the astronomer and geographer Johann Schöner produced the first printed terrestrial globe to name the recently discovered continent of America. Schöner was also a printer and editor and published several previously unpublished works of Regiomontanus. His mathematical works, which had been placed on the Index, were published posthumously by his son Andreas. VERY RARE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE VOLVELLES, which are lacking in most other copies. Adams S-678 and 685; Houzeau & Lancaster 2388; Sabin 77805; Zinner 2033.
