Collectible: Andreus Cellarius Harmonia Macrcosmica Book

This is a beautiful collectible hardcover book by Taschen in premium condition, full of gorgeous plates and illustrations of the heavens. A reprint of Cellarius’ 1660 work. *Please note the size is larger than most coffee table books and truly a piece to be displayed but cared for! 12”7/8 x 21” Published in three languages: English, German, and Italian. Contains plates of Ptolemy, Copernicus, Tycho Brahe in full page expanse. Accompanied by wonderfully detailed plate descriptions. Andreus Cellarius was a Dutch-German mathematician, cosmologist, and celestial cartographer, and this work represents a monumental display and understanding of astronomical history. The only minor blemishes are a little crumpling on the title page and slight scuffing on the cover edge, everything else is near mint. You will struggle to find a copy in this condition for this price. I will be very sad to see this go and only selling because I need the money. Hoping to find it a good home with someone who cares as much as I do about the cosmos and collectible books. Original 2006 edition.
