Scarce and finely printed collection of astronomical tables for 1558-1577. Unlike many 16th century Ephemerides, Carello provides a long introduction and discussion preceding the tables. Each year with a separate half title. Not in Adams. An interesting period in the development of ephemerides as Copernican theories began to overtake the Ptolemaic and Alfonsine view. Carello here, holds onto the Alfonsine system. Size: Quarto (4to). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Science & Technology; Antiquarian & Rare. Inventory No: 044636.
