[56], 334, [2]p :, ill. (woodcuts) ;, 20cm. (4to).

Note

Colophon: "Basileae excudebat Henricus Petrus, mense Augusto, anno M.D.XXXIII".

Note

Numerous woodcut ill. and diagrams; the ill. are those of the 1531 ed. with numerous additions. The cylindrical sundial (p. [269]), the nocturnal on p. [294], and perhaps the Schema concaui (p. 278) are after Hans Holbein.

Note

A folded plate of a wall sundial was originally intended to accompany the work and is described in the last chapter, in which Münster explains that the plate was published separately; the dial described appears as a folding plate in his Rudimenta mathematica, 1551, and his Der Horologien, oder Sonnen vhren, künstliche Beschreibung, 1579.
