Book description
This book represents one of the very first detailed and comprehensive historical treatises on globes terrestrial and celestial in the English language since the numerous works published before its appearance tended to give only a very general consideration to the uses of globes, including a reference to their important structural features, and to the problems geographical and astronomical in the solution of which they may be counted of service. The aim of this study was to treat the subject historically, beginning with the earliest references to the belief in spherical earth and a spherical firmament encircling it, and it was inspired by the author's hope that the preliminary study may lead to a number of independent and thorough investigations of important individual examples, to the end of clearly setting forth their great documentary value.Volume 1:Terrestrial Globes in AntiquityCelestial Globes in AntiquityGlobes Constructed by the ArabsTerrestrial and Celestial Globes in the Christian Middle AgesGlobes Constructed in the Early Years of the Great Geographical DiscoveriesGlobes of the Early Sixteenth CenturyGlobes of the Second Quarter of the Sixteenth CenturyGlobes and Globe Makers of the Third Quarter of the Sixteenth CenturyGlobes and Globe Makers of the Last Quarter of the Sixteenth CenturyVolume 2:Globes and Globe Makers of the Early Seventeenth Century.
