Habrecht II, Isaac. 1589-1633.
Planiglobium Coeleste, et Terrestre. Strasbourg: Marcus and Jacob von Heyden, 1628-1629.
2 parts in one volume. Small 4to (210 x 150 mm). Part 1 with typographical title set in a woodcut border, part 2 title with an engraved model of the globe and two woodcut diagrams in the text. Modern calf, bound to 17th century style, with the bookseller's label of "Libraire Thomas-Scheler, Paris."
FIRST EDITION of Halbrecht's Planiglobium, his work on the construction of celestial and terrestrial globes. Halbrecht was the son of Isaac Halbrecht I and nephew of Josias Halbrecht, both clock makers from Switzerland, but Isaac took a different path and was Court physician to the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg. He rose to become a Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Strasbourg University, but died of the plague soon after taking the post. He published a celestial and terrestrial globe at 12 inches diameter, c.1621, and these were reissued by Furst in the 1660s in Nuremberg, and again by Weigel after that. He introduced several constellations that were adopted by Plancius, and other celestial constellations which became obsolete. Zimmer 5089.
