EVERAERT, Martin]
Ephemeris anni a Christi nato 1599 (to 1613.)
[Leiden, Jan Claesz van Dorp, 1597 & Heidelberg, Commelin, 1602]. 4to. (Collation: 4A-6O4). Contemporary parchment. (binding soiled and dam.; front hinge splitting; paper( a bit) browned and water stained; back board almost loose from book block)
- Missing: general title, introduction etc, and the ephemerides for the years 1590 to 1598 and 1614 to 1615.
¶ See Hoogendoorn, Evera02 and Bibliotheca Belgica E 44 and E 45. Part of a larger work: The edition 1597 starts with the Ephemerides for the year 1590 and ends with the year 1610. (see also TB 1853 & Bierens de Haan 1369) This was supplemented in the Commelin-edition 1602 by the Ephemerides for the years 1611 to 1615: "Une partie de cette édition est de l'impression de Leiden, 1597. Les ff.lim.seuls ont été réimprimés, la liste des 'errata' a été omise, et les éphémérides pour les années 1611-1615 ont été ajoutées." According to Hoogendoorn the supplement was printed in Franeker by Gillis van den Rade. VERY RARE EPHEMERIDES by the Dutch physician and astronomer Marten Everaert (1599-1613), probably published in parts. MOST INTERESTING COPY with many contemporary annotations and corrections by a scholar. These annotations refer to natural events (floods earthquakes, severe frost etc.), the war (a.o. Siege of Den Bosch; the conquest and pillage of Budapest), and many references to astronomy: Kepler, Longomontanus, Al-Qabisi, comets. Although the annotations refer a.o. to Copenhague, Bohemia, Bavaria, are mostly written in Latin with some French at the end, and are clearly written by a person well versed in astronomy, we have failed to identify him. NO COPY OF THE CONTINUATION (1611-1613) IN ANY DUTCH LIBRARY.
