FINE, ORONCE 1494 1555 (7 resultados)

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. FIRST AND SOLE EDITION. Bound in contemporary quarter pigskin and wooden boards with intact clasps. Inscription on title: "Est Adolfi Glauburg, Johannis Adolfi Glauburg, Jacobi Maquardi Glauburg." An extremely fine, crisp, bright copy with broad margins. There is some minor damp-staining to a few gatherings, a few insignificant blemishes, and a short worm-trail in the inner margin of the title page, just touching the printed border. Profusely illustrated. Divided into four parts, Oronce Finé's monumental 'Protomathesis' presents the various branches of scientific knowledge: mathematics (De arithmetica practica libri IIII), theoretical and practical geometry (De geometria libri II), cosmography -that is, astronomy and geography- (De Cosmographia, sive sphaera mundi libri V), and horology and gnomonics (measuring time, constructing clocks, sundials, etc.) (De solaribus horologiis et quadrantibus libri IIII).Mixing theoretical and practical knowledge (from Euclidean geometry and the theory of the sphere to the construction and use of surveying instruments and sundials),the publication of the'Protomathesis'was important for the new image it provided of mathematics, in France and beyond. In the 'Protomathesis', the understanding and application of this knowledge is facilitated by the use of instruments, and Finé's technical drawings of astronomical, geodetic, and horological instruments in the volume are so accurate that, as Catherine Eagleton has shown, they could be copied to make actual instruments and could themselves be used as paper instruments. The 'Protomathesis' is also a universally acclaimed monument of book production and design. The book is introduced by a fine architectural title page border with a lunette of Hercules defeating the Lernean Hydra. This is followed by the well-known image of the goddess of astronomy (Urania) lecturing Finé, who holds a book and an astrolabe, beneath a spherical model of the solar system. This magnificent woodcut is repeated in Book I of the second part (De Cosmographia). There are an additional 280 woodcuts in the text, including geometric figures, polyhedra, models of the geocentric solar system, diagrams of eccentric orbits, Finé's "octant mesh" for mapping an eighth of the globe, and detailed renderings of numerous instruments: quadrants, cross-staves, sundials, geometrical squares, the shaped rectilinear dial, astronomical rings, astrolabes, and the hydraulic astronomical clock. De solaribus horologiis et quadrantibus libri IIII "Given Finé's interest in instruments, and his statements about the need to ground practical mathematics in theoretical understanding, it is perhaps no surprise that the fourth book 'Concerning sundials and quadrants' includes descriptions on how to make and use a variety of sundials. (Catherine Eagleton, Oronce Finé's Sundials, in The Worlds of Oronce Finé, p. 85) An ivory dial made in 1524 and signed by Finé (preserved in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan) testifies to Finé's skill as a maker of horological instruments. Among the many instruments described and illustrated in the fourth part is the ship-shaped rectilinear dial, a cousin of Regiomontanus' universal dial; a combined sun and moon dial, and the hydraulic clock. "The first book of 'De solaribus horologiis' covers dials that tell the time by measuring the direction in which the sun is observed, and begins with a diagram and description of the basic geometry underpinning a sundial for the latitude of Paris. Finé then explains how this geometry can be applied to make a variety of dials, including horizontal dials (proposition 2) and vertical dials (proposition 3). Later in Book 1, Finé moves on to talk about dials that are portable, and can be used at more than one latitude, and gives examples of dials for various latitudes, aligned in various ways, and constructed on various surfaces and shapes. The first book ends with instructions for how to make and use a nocturnal, for telling the time by the stars, a moon dial, and a dial for hours counted from dawn or dusk rather than from midnight or midday, based on the same geometry as the earlier, simpler examples in the book. Book 2 deals mainly with dials that tell the time from the altitude at which the sun is observed, including quadrants as well as the cylinder dial, ring dials, a universal astrolabe and universal ring dial. At the end of the second book, just before the description of the hydraulic clock, Finé includes the universal rectilinear dial (proposition 15) and the ship-shaped dial (proposition 16). In the text, he explicitly links the two similar instruments, and the shipshaped dial is described as an alternative version of the preceding instrument, although Finé also points out that this version is more useful than the universal rectilinear dial. Added to these is a hydraulic clock that Finé himself claims to have developed. The third and fourth books describe the construction and use of an astrolabe quadrant."(Catherine Eagleton, "Oronce Finé's sundials: the sources and influences of De Solaribus Horologiis," in The Worlds of Oronce Finé: Mathematics, Instruments, and the Book in Renaissance France, ed. Alexander Marr(2009), pp. 8399; See also, Anthony Turner, 'Dropped Out of Sight: Oronce Finé and the Water-Clockin the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries', in Marr 2009, 191205. The polymath Oronce Finé was born in Briançon in 1494. His grandfather Michel and his father François were also physicians; we also have Oronce's testimony that his father was skilled in astronomy. Oronce studied at the College of Navarre, Paris, where, beginning in 1516, he also taught mathematics. On March 27, 1531, François I (to whom the 'Protomathesis' is dedicated) made Finé first regius professor of mathematics at the Royal College. In 1532, he was entrusted with a house located in rue des Lavandières. Around 1535 Finé married Denise Blanche, with whom he had six boys and a girl. Oronce died on October 6, 1555 and was buried in the Carmeli.

Al punto de que mientras terminaba sus estudios ya trabajaba como editor de textos matemáticos para algunos impresores parisinos. Y, de hecho, fue profesor de Matemáticas en el Collège Royal de París, que Francisco I fundó el año anterior, 1530, hasta su muerte. La Arithmetica practica, como otros textos de Fine, apareció impresa por primera vez en el volumen 'Protomathesis : opus varium ac scitu non minus vtile quam iucundum nunc primùm in lucem foeliciter emissum', que vio la luz en París, impreso por Gérard Morrhy y Jean Petri, en 1532 (aunque parece que cada parte había sido impresa con anterioridad, sin llegar a salir al público, porque presentan portadas propias con fechas diferentes). Pero aquella impresión debió dejar altamente descontento a Fine, porque al poco publicó esta Arithmetica ?in nativum splendorem (quem prriorum impressorum amiserat incuria) summa fidelitate restituta? (i.e. ?restaurado muy fielmente a su esplendor original, que se había perdido por la negligencia de los impresores?). Así, esta verdadera 1ª edición fiel al autor de la Arithmetica practica presenta no solo el texto ampliamente corregido de erratas, sino también múltiples aclaraciones ?singularmente al final de cada parágrafo?, así como la eliminación de algunos ejemplos mal traídos y una nueva manera de presentar las matrices para entender las operaciones. La edición de 1542, también impresa por Colines en 8º (pero folio), repetirá el contenido de esta de 1535, mientras que para la de 1544, impresa en 8º normal, Fine volvió a modificar su redacción.

Single sheet, matted and framed (11 2/8 x 16 2/8 inches to the neat line; framed size 24 x 28 4/8 inches). Fine woodcut double-cordiform world map, the title within a ribbon banner along the top edge, Wechelis' imprint centre lower edge, showing the world in two hemispheres, the right being mostly "Terra Australis', 'recently discovered, but not yet explored' and South America, the left, Europe and North America, surrounded by an elaborate decorative border. Provenance: The Goodyear Collection, purchased September 1984, their sale Rachel Davis Fine Arts, September 21st, 2013, lot 477. First published the Paris edition of Huttich and Grynaeus' "Novus Orbis Regionum" in 1532, this the fourth impression from the same 1531 woodblock was issued in Pomponius Mela's "De Orbis Situ", Paris, 1541. Oronce Fine's double-cordiform map of the world is remarkable for several reasons. It was the most superior rendering of the world to-date, originally accompanying Johann Huttich's and Simon Grynaeus' collection of accounts of voyages entitled "Novus Orbis Regionum". The book was first published in Basel but reprinted in Paris during 1532 by Christian Wechel with this accompanying map. It is thought that Wechel also sold copies of the map separately, as here. Another world map, "Typus Cosmographicus Universalis," rendered by Sebastian Munster and Hans Holbein in 1532, accompanied the Basel editions. Geographically, Fine's map included the most advanced information available. The North American continent remains an extension of the Asian mainland much along the lines of the Contarini-Rosselli map of 1506 and Ruysch of 1507. However, the monumental discoveries made since the creation of these maps, which forever altering the coastlines, have also been included. Fine extended the eastern coast of North America southward beyond the discoveries of Gomes and Ayllon to a peninsular outline of Florida, which is named, and a reasonable depiction of the Gulf coast as described by Pineda in 1519. This is the earliest recognizable depiction of a continuous east coast of North America on a printed map. The South American continent is also admirably depicted, incorporating discoveries by the Portugese and by Ferdinand Magellan. Central America contains numerous place names reflecting conquests and explorations. The isthmus of Darian is shown and named, as well as the "Mare magellanicum" (Pacific Ocean), one of the first uses of the navigator's name in such a context. The west coast of Mexico, although continuous with Asia, is the earliest record on a printed map of the discoveries of Hernando Cortes."Terra Australis" (Australia) fills much of the right-hand (or southern) cordum and is marked as being 'recently discovered but not yet explored.' The north pole is indicated by four islands and the separate island of Greenland is named. A large promontory marked "Gaccalar" (supposedly Labrador) extends from North America into the Atlantic. This highly detailed woodcut is surrounded by floral embellishments, two mermaids, two muscular cherubs, the French royal coat of arms and, at the head of the map, the title in a flowing banner. It's cartographic findings were hugely influential to the history of mapping and were followed by Gerard Mercator for his important world map of 1538, and for the copies by Antonio Salamanca (ca. 1550) and Antonio Lafreri (ca. 1564). Oronce Fine was a French mathematician and cartographer. Born in Briançon, the son and grandson of physicians, he was educated in Paris (Collège de Navarre), and obtained a degree in medicine in 1522. In 1531, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics at the Collège Royal (the present Collège de France), founded by Francis I of France, where he taught until his death. As well as being a fortifications expert (he worked on the fortifications of Milan), Fine was a noted astronomer and cartographer. He invented the cordiform or heart-shaped map, frequently utilized by other cartographers, such as Pet.

No Binding. Condición: Near Fine. Oronce Fine's famous c.16th double cordiform map of the world which is acknowledged as being one of the most striking and influential world maps published in the c.16th. The present example is state 4 of the map identified by the inclusion of the date M.D. XL (1540) in Roman numerals within the lower panel. In all there are 6 states of the map, dated 1532, 1536, 1540, 1541 and 1555. All states are rare and as noted by Shirley, most examples are trimmed, making this example especially desirable. The map first appeared in the 1532 Paris edition of Johann Huttich and Simon Grynaeus' Novus Orbis Regionum (The new world), which contained a collection of travel accounts that included descriptions of the East Indies, the Holy Land, Africa and the Americas. Fine use new geometric principles for reducing the spherical earth to a two-dimensional map and became the model for cartographers prior to Mercator's Projection. Like other cosmographers of the period Fine aimed to accommodate recent discoveries with the established geographical and astronomical principles in Claudius Ptolemy's, Geographia. Fine's map is also one of the earliest printed maps to show the southern continent as a distinct landmass to counterbalance, cartographically speaking, the northern hemisphere. Much of the right-hand (or southern) cordum is taken up with the new Terra Australis, noted as being 'recently discovered but not yet explored.' Beyond the tip of South America is marked the Mare magellanicum, one of the first uses of the navigator's name in such a context. Central America contains numerous place names reflecting the conquests and explorations of Cortez in the early 1520s, but further north Fine has unambiguously made the North America continent part of the eastern extremity of Asia. Four islands make up the north polar regions. The separate island of Greenland is named, and a large promontory marked Gaccalar (supposedly Labrador) extend from the North American land mass into the Atlantic. There is a detailed floral surround to the map, two mermaids, two muscular cherubs, the French royal coat of arms and, at the head of the map, the title in a flowing banner. Oronce Fine's map is one that deserved enlargement on to two sheets. Unfortunately, in many cases the margins of surviving copies are badly frayed as after folding once for insertion into the book they were still too wide for the binding."
