Johannes de Sacrobosco
Sphaera mundi. Daran: Johannes Regiomontanus: Contra Cremonensia deliramenta. Daran: Georg Peurbach, Theoricae novae planetarum. Venedig, Simon Bevilaqua, 23. Okt. 1499.
Bedeutende Inkunabelausgabe des astronomischen Grundlagenwerks. Erstmals mit den ausführlichen Kommentaren von Cecco d'Ascoli, Franciscus Capuanus und Jacobus Faber Stapulensis.
Schöner Antiqua-Druck aus der venetianischen Offizin Bevilaquas, zusammengedruckt mit den klassischen Schriften Contra Cremonensia deliramenta von Johannes Regiomontanus sowie Theoricae novae planetarum von Georg Peurbach, "an elementary but thorough textbook of planetary theory .. of great importance .. his models remained the canonical physical description of the structure of the heavens until Tycho disproved the existence of solid spheres" (DSB XV, 475).
"Sacrobosco's fame rests firmly on his De sphaera , a small work based on Ptolemy and his Arabic commentators, published about 1220 and antedating the De sphaera of Grosseteste. It was quite generally adopted as the fundamental astronomy text, for often it was so clear that it needed little or no explanation .. During the Middle Ages the De sphaera enjoyed great renown, and from the middle of the thirteenth century it was taught in all the schools of Europe .. As late as the seventeenth century it was used as basic astronomy text" (DSB XII, 61).
