Lot Description
KEPLER, Johannes (1571-1630) and Jacobus BARTSCH (ca 1600-1633). Tabulae manuales logarithmicae ad calculum Astronomicum... Strassburg: Johann Pastorius for Theodor Lerse, 1700.
8vo (158 x 94 mm). Letterpress tables throughout. (A few spots, some minor dampstaining to outer foremargin.) Contemporary vellum, edges stained red (hinges starting, some soiling). Provenance: Henryk Latuszkiewicz (signature).
Second edition, the first obtainable edition, preceded by an edition of 1631 known in only one copy (which is defective). Following Kepler's death, his son-in-law, Bartsch, sought to publish a more affordable edition of the logarithms from Tabulae Rudolphinae. Publication was halted for financial reasons. French mathematician Johann Caspar Eisenschmidt published the present edition in 1700 with a new introduction. Caspar 99.
