Gaius Julius Hyginus (ca 64 BCE- 17 CE) was a Latin author, but whether a native of Spain or Alexandria is not sure, a pupil of the famous Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor, Caesar Augustus, by whom he was made superintendent of the Palatine library according to Suetonius. Fabulae consists of some three hundred very brief and plainly, even crudely told myths and celestial genealogies. They are now considered a wealth of information. Johannes Schefferus (1621 1679) was one of the most important Swedish humanists of his time. He was also known as Angelus and is remembered for writing hymns. Schefferus was born in Strasbourg, then part of the Holy Roman Empire. He came from the patrician family (Scheffer), studied at university there and briefly in Leiden, and was in 1648 made professor Skytteanus of eloquence and government at Uppsala University, a chair he held until his death in 1679. Schefferus also spent time on philological and archaeological studies. His De orbibus tribus aureis became the first publication on Swedish archaeology. The story of the Sami people, Lapponia (1673) became popular around Europe but was not translated into Swedish (as Lappland) until 1956. His posthumous publication, Suecia literata (The Learned Sweden) (1680) is a Swedish history of science bibliography. The first part contains classical myths while the second book deals with the zodiac, constellations and the planets (Thomas Munckerus, d. 1652). First Edition with Schefferus commentary.

Condizione: Mediocre (Poor). Folio (278x182 mm.). [50] ll. Collation: a6 b-m4. Roman letter and sporadic Greek type. With woodcut printer's device on the title page, woodcut ornamental initials and many beautiful in-text illustrations of the Ptolemaic constellations. Contemporary cardboards with reinforced spine (new endleaves, binding worn, slightly rubbed and stained). Copy browned and slightly stained, traces of marginal warming from l. h2 to the end of the volume, manuscript ownership entry on the title page (?Coll. Mis. Soc. Jesu?).Rare 16th-century edition (first edition: Ferrara, 1475, 4to) of the Poeticon Astronomicon, also known with the title De Astronomia. The work is divided into four main parts, with chapter one dealing with astronomical definitions, chapter two with the correlation between myths and constellations, chapter three with some single stars and the final chapter with the sphere, the movement of the Sun, Moon and the planets.The Poeticon is attributed to Hyginus, the librarian of Augustus and author of the better-known work Fabulae, a compendium of classical myths. The date and attribution of the Poeticon Astronomicon have long been disputed, but more recently it has been suggested that similarities in content between the Poeticon and the Fabulae, together with the absence of astrological allusions, suggest a common authorship and a date of composition before astrology became fashionable in Rome in the final years of the first century BC.The earliest Greek references to constellations are found in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, without an explicit reference to correlated myths. Hesiod in his The Constellations mentions the same constellations as Homer (the Pleiades, Hyades, Ursa Major and Orion), adding the individual stars Arcturus and Sirius, and writing about some familiar Greek myths, also well attested in classical literature. What remains unclear is when and how these myths became associated with a particular constellation. Some think that the association of myth and constellation was a literary construct invented by Eratosthenes and then evolved in popular culture during the centuries between Homer and Hesiod and the Hellenistic age. Hyginus seems to have followed Eratosthenes' construct, systematically combining mythological material with each one of the constellations.The work offers a comprehensive picture of the myths associated with Greeks and Romans constellations, forty-eight in number at the time of Ptolemy (311-283 BC), founder of the famous Library of Alexandria in Egypt. The Poeticon describes only 42 constellations, ranging from groups of constellations based on a common mythological theme (e.g. the 5 constellations of the Perseus-Andromeda group) to heroes, nymphs, animals and birds or inanimate objects.This is one the best-known works on the constellations and astrological myths in the classical literature of the Ancients.OCLC, 643017288; VD16, H-6486; T.

Title on a2 printed in red, 47 half-page woodcuts of the constellation and planet figures, probably designed by Johannes Santritter, partially coloured by an early hand in pale red, green and yellow; white-on-black woodcut initials in various sizes, some coloured. 4to (205 x 145mm). 57 leaves (lacks first blank), 31 lines, gothic type, a few words in greek. Late 19th century calf-backed boards, spine with red and green labels lettered in gilt, preserved in a mid-20th century slipcase. Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 14 October 1482 First illustrated edition and the first depictions in a printed book of the constellations, the signs of the zodiac, and planets as conceived in antiquity, which serves as the beginning of celestial cartography. A fine specimen from the Venetian press of the great innovator Erhard Ratdolt. The design of the woodcuts is attributed to Johannes Santritter and consists of forty constellation figures with star locations which illustrate Hyginus' descriptions in Book III and seven planet figures (Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and the Sun and Moon) found in Book IV. Santritter, a native of Heilbronn, was also responsible for woodcut diagrams used by Ratdolt in his 1482 edition of Sacrobosco's Sphaera Mundi. The woodblocks remained in Radolt's shop and were re-used in his reprint of 1485 and on his return to Augsburg in his 1488 edition of Johannnes Angeli's Astrolabium. Although astronomically inaccurate they were hugely influential, as noted by Lippincott 'once these images appeared in print . they became the undisputed model upon which astronomical book illustration relied for the next forty years? First published in an extremely rare unillustrated edition of Ferrara 1475 (ISTC ih00559000 lists only 14 copies), the text is attributed to Hyginus and consists of four books: on definitions, the myths of the constellations, the number and location of the stars in the constellations, and the motions of the Sun, Moon and planets. Quite who the Hyginus of this text was is not established (see OCD) but the text was well known: De astronomia was a popular and influential text and source-book from the date of its composition onwards. The most likely candidate as author seems to be C. Iulius Hyginus, the Keeper of the Palatine Library during the reign of Augustus Caesar and friend of Ovid. This therefore places the work between Cicero?s Latin translation of Aratus?s Phaenomena (89-86 BC) and the more scholarly Latin translation (or adaptation) of the same poem attributed to Germanicus Caesar (16-17 AD).   In the entry in Reynolds? Texts and Transmission, written by Michael Reeve, he asked a propos of De astronomia: ?Has any classical text been so ill served by recent scholarship as this?? He does mention the quite large number of manuscripts, but remarks that the work so far done had added little. However, the situation is now changed. The most recent edition is that of Ghislaine Viré (Leipzig: Teubner, 1992) but the Budé text of 1983 ed. Le Boeuffle is to be preferred (see review by M. Winterbottom in CRNS 44 no. 1, pp. 49-50). Winterbottom remarks of the language of the work that ?unlike the much corrected and mutilated Fabulae? it is a good example of extended Augustan prose.   At the end are two sets of Latin elegiacs by Jacopo Sentino ?Ricinensis?, i.e. from Ricina, now Villa Potenza is in the Marche region in Italy. The second of these is about his and Santritter?s edition of Hyginus and dwells on how they have produced a clean text. The third set of verses is actually by Santritter.  The intermittent colouring found in over half of the woodcuts is certainly early; there is careful hatching and outlining in pale red, with earth tones and pale green used on some figures.   Generally a crisp, well-margined, and unwashed copy with some leaves a little toned towards the end, a few mostly minor stains, a very few small wormholes. Provenance: Marco Contarini, with date 15 May [15]18 of the well-known Contarini.…

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Single incunable leaf (recto & verso) from one of the earliest printed astronomical books, illustrating the constellations Virgo (recto) and Leo (verso). Leaf size 205 x 145 mm. The recto features a finely executed woodcut of Virgo, represented as a winged female figure with stars marked across her body, accompanied by Latin text describing the constellation and its principle stars. The verso contains a striking woodcut of Leo, shown as a lion with stars indicated throughout the body, with text discussing Leo's position relative to Hydra and enumerating stars. Printed in clear early Roman type with decorated woodcut initials, characteristic of Ratdolt's innovative Venetian press, renowned for its pioneering role in scientific and astronomical printing.
