‘Claudii Ptolemaei sphaerae aplanetis proiectio in planum. Cum sit possibile, o Syre, et plurimum necessarium ut in plano repraesententur circuli in sphaeram corpoream incidentes — cum ipsis circulis tropicis et cum circulis meridianis signa distinguentibus. Facta est translatio haec Tolosae cal. Iunii anno domini MCXLIIII.’ = Ptolemy, Planispherium (tr. Hermann of Carinthia) (A.6.1)

‘Federici Commandini Urbinatis in Planisphaerium Ptolemaei commentarius. Aldus. Venetiis, M.D.LVIII. (2r) Federici Commandini Urbinatis in Planisphaerium Ptolemaei commentarius. In hoc libro rationem tradit Ptolemaeus qua circulos omnes sphaerae caelestis in plano describere possimus… Figuram visam quemadmodum appareat in proposito plano describere — circulos pariter secamus, unde stellarum loca certissima ratione deprehenduntur.’ |
