Tabulae Rudolphinae. Or the Rudolphine tables, supputated to the meridian of Uraniburge, first, by John Kepler, from the observations of the tres noble Ticho Brahe, afterwards digested into a most accurate, and easie compendium, by the famous Johannes Baptista Morinus... and printed for him at Paris, Anno Dom. 1650. London, 1675

The Rudolphine Tables of planetary motion were begun by Tycho and completed by Kepler in 1627; this English version was also appended to Henry Coley's 1676 astrological textbook, which was printed for Benjamin Tooke and Thomas Sawbridge. Incidentally, 1675 also saw the foundation of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich.
