1598 EDITION OF ASTRONOMY, MATHEMATICS, METEOROLOGY, GEOMETRY, ASTROLOGY, WEATHER, CARTOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY, GNOMONICS, SUNDIALS, CLIMATE CHANGES by Francesco Barozzi (1537-1604), a mathematician and astronomer who contributed to the revival of geometry and the expansion of Euclid's works, and taught mathematical sciences at the University of Padova. The book is entirely hand-colored with several dozen illustrations, graphs, initials, and three large maps (height 235 x width 245 mm), illustrating the starry sky, the five climate zones, 32 winds, latitude and longitude zones, and the system of lines on a nautical chart. Barozzi takes the concepts of the famous work "De Sphaera Mundi" by Johannes de Sacrobosco or John of Holywood (c. 1195-1256), analyzes and expands it, and adds important new features and calculations, dedicates the first 51 pages to Sacrobosco and reveals 84 errors as anticipated in the title. The book is in excellent condition with its antique binding of the period, and detailed and intact color illustrations.

Cantamessa, Astrology: Printed Works (1472-1900), volume 1, n. 349. Barozzi was the author of several editions of ancient mathematical texts and Euclid's Elements. This is the second revised and enlarged edition of his "Cosmographia In Quatuor Libros" plus the "De Sphaera Mundi", containing a long prefatory section on the errors of Johannes de Sacrobosco and his followers, and on the elements of arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, and spherical geometry (from Theodosius of Bithynia). The book covers eclipses, comets, temperatures, 5 climate zones, sundials, solar apogee, the calculation of meridians, longitudes, sizes of the planets and their distances from the Earth, future positions and orbits of several planets, measuring time and light according to the seasons, and a new astrolabe-type instrument. The work deals primarily with arithmetic, geometry, and cosmography. Astrology is discussed in Books II and III of the Cosmographia, both in general terms and from an astronomical perspective. Astrology is considered here, however, a science derived from astronomy, but with lesser dignity. Magnificent illustrations depicting science, astronomy and mathematics from 500 years ago.

AUTHOR: Francesco Barozzi, in Latin Franciscus Barocius (1537-1604), was an Italian mathematician. He studied and taught mathematics at the University of Padua. He was a pioneer in the studies that led to the rebirth of geometry based on knowledge of Euclid's works. He collaborated with Federico Commandino. He wrote "Cosmographia In Quatuor Libros", published in first edition in 1585, on the cosmography and mathematics of the Ptolemaic system. AUTHOR: Johannes de Sacrobosco or John of Holywood (c. 1195-1256), was a scholar, Catholic monk, and astronomer who taught at the University of Paris. He wrote a short introduction to the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. Judging from the number of manuscript copies that survive today, for the next 400 years it became the most widely read book on that subject. He also wrote a short textbook which was widely read and influential in Europe during the later medieval centuries as an introduction to astronomy. In his longest book, on the computation of the date of Easter, Sacrobosco correctly described the defects of the then-used Julian calendar, and recommended a solution similar to the modern Gregorian calendar three centuries before its implementation.
