Directorium Generale Vranometricum (1632)

By Bonaventura Cavalieri

Directorium Generale Vranometricum est opus magnum Bonaventurae Cavalieri, mathematici et philosophi Itali, quod anno Domini MDCXXXII editum est. In hoc libro, auctor tractat de geometria et astronomia, et praesertim de instrumentis astronomicis quae ad mensurandum altitudinem et azimuthum stellarum utuntur. In primo capite, Cavalieri explicat fundamenta geometriae planae et solidae, et deinde procedit ad tractandum de trigonometria sphaerica, quae est necessaria ad mensurandum angulos in sphaera coelesti. In secundo capite, auctor describit instrumenta astronomica quae ad mensurandum altitudinem stellarum utuntur, inter quae sunt quadrantem, astrolabium, et sector. In tertio capite, Cavalieri tractat de instrumentis quae ad mensurandum azimuthum stellarum utuntur, inter quae sunt circulus horarius et bussola. In quarto capite, auctor explicat quomodo uti instrumentis astronomicis ad mensurandum altitudinem et azimuthum stellarum, et quomodo ex his mensurationibus possunt calculare latitudinem et longitudinem loci. Directorium Generale Vranometricum est opus magnum et praestantissimum, quod mathematicis et astronomis per multos saecula adiutorium praebuit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
