拍品資料及來源

A work describing the construction and use of three different instruments, a proportional compass, and two types of sector. Editions printed at Augsburg: Johann Klocker, 1633 (“anjetzo aber zum drittenmal auffgelegt und Gedruckt”) and Augsburg: Johann Wehe, 1655 (“anjetzo aber Zum virttenmal auffgelegt und Gedruckt”) are recorded by VD17 (VD17 12:155110K; VD17 23:323920V, see lot 195), but not the present edition, which was printed by Wehe with a Frankfurt am Main address, and likewise “ansetzo aber zum vierdten mal auffgelegt”. Here, the title is in letterpress and set within a woodcut compartment; Wehe’s 1655 edition features a fully engraved title.
