Title page of Quadrans Apiani by German mathematician and astronomer Peter Apian, 1532. The illustration shows his recently invented quadrant. Apian (1495-1552) established his reputation by issuing a world map in 1520, and the 1524 publication of his work of geography Cosmographia. In 1527 he published Rechnung, an arithmetical textbook, which included the first printed account of Pascals triangle. Apians most important work in astronomy was his Astronomicum Caesareum of 1540, which contained detailed descriptions of five comets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of Quadrans Apiani, a groundbreaking work by German mathematician and astronomer Peter Apian. Created in 1532, this illustration introduces his recently invented quadrant, a revolutionary mathematical instrument that would shape the field of measurement for centuries to come. Apian (1495-1552) was renowned for his contributions to various disciplines. He gained recognition with his world map in 1520 and further solidified his reputation with Cosmographia, a geography publication released in 1524. In 1527, he published Rechnung, an arithmetic textbook that featured the first printed account of Pascal's triangle—a significant milestone in mathematics. However, it was Apian's Astronomicum Caesareum of 1540 that truly cemented his legacy in astronomy. This influential work provided detailed descriptions of five comets and expanded our understanding of celestial phenomena. The print captures not only the essence of Apian's intellectual pursuits but also reflects the artistic beauty prevalent during the sixteenth century. The monochrome image transports us back to a time when scientific discoveries were intricately intertwined with artistry and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of Petrus Apianus' profound impact on mathematics and astronomy—an enduring testament to human curiosity and ingenuity.
