PROCLUS, DIADOCHUS. c.410-485.
Procli Diadochi Sphaera. Astronomiam discere incipientibus utilissima. Thoma Linacro Britanno interprete. Apendicula. G.T. Collimiti de Ortu & occasu Siderum, ut est apud poetas. Varronē[m]. Columellam, Pliniumq[ue], & caeteros. Ioan. Abhauser Vindelicus. Ad Lectorem. [Vienna: Hieronim Wietor & Johann Singriener, 1511.]
4to (212 x 159 mm). A6 B4. 10 ff. Edited by Georg Tannstetter and translated by Thomas Linacre. Bound at spine with 18th century paste-paper. An uncut, wide margined copy.
Provenance: half-page manuscript biography of Proclus to A2 signed and dated Conrad Dasypodius (1530-1600), as well as numerous marginal annotations in the same 16th century hand (it is unclear from the signature whether the biography was written by Dasypodius, or if it was copied down by one of his students).
FIRST EDITION of these two astronomy texts edited by Georg Tannstetter (c. 1460-1524), aka Collimitius. Tanstetter was one of the leading Humanists at the University of Vienna, and was not only an astronomer, mathematician, and cartographer, but also a medical doctor.
The first text is the Sphaera, here attributed to Proclus, but now believed to be by Geminos of Rhodes (fl. c.70 BC): "It is a medieval compilation of extracts from Gemino's work" (Sarton I p. 212). The second work is the first appearance of Tanstetter's own work on the rising and the setting of the stars in the texts of the early poets. On the last page is a twelve line poem, taken from Hyginus, to aid in memorizing the fixed stars and consellations. Denis, Wiens Buchdruckergesch 41; Houzeau-Lancaster 913; Zinner 913.
