1071 - PICCOLOMINI, Alessandro Della sfera del mondo [...]. divisa in libri quattro [...]. Dele stelle fisse, libro uno con le sue figure, e con le sue tavole, dove con maravigliosa ageuolezza potra ciascheduno conoscere qualunque stella delle XLVIII imagini del cielo stellato, e le favole loro integramente [...]. Venice "Al segno del pozzo" (N. de Bascarini) 1552 Sm. 4to: 58-122-[4] ff. (washed, marg. tear without loss on f. 46, light water stains on a few lvs, occ. light browning or spotting, some faint old ms. annot. in margins). Mod. Bradel old-style half-vellum, brown Balacron on boards. Third edition (1st 1540). Woodcut illustration: printer's device on both titles, 47 full-page star maps (numbered I-XLVIII, n. XXIV omitted), numerous astronomical diagrams, and historiated initials. The first part offers a traditional Ptolemaic-Aristotelian geocentric cosmography; the appended "De le stelle fisse" constitutes the first printed star atlas, and introduced the now-standard practice of identifying individual stars by letter, a convention that would prove lastingly influential. Piccolomini was also the first to represent the relative brightness of stars in an atlas, grading them by size within each map. Unlike his predecessors, he depicted the constellations as seen from Earth rather than projected onto a globe, making the charts considerably more practical for direct observation. Strikingly, none of the maps includes the traditional mythological figures for the constellations, a deliberate choice reflecting Piccolomini's commitment to empirical representation over decorative convention. Ref. Adams P-1108. - EDIT16. - Houzeau & Lancaster 2491. Prov. Giancarlo Beltrame (P.A. Christie's 26 Apr. 2017, Library of Scientific Books, Pt. III:219).
