This atlas was the last to follow the tradition of depicting beautifully engraved constellation figures. At the same time, it was the first to include the vast number of double stars, clusters, and nebulae cataloged by William Herschel" (W. Kokott. Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers, I, S. 141). - Himmelsglobus nach den Sternkarten des Astronomen Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826), Direktor der Berliner Sternwarte und Mitglied der Königlich Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Bode schuf ebenfalls zwei astronomische Atlanten und erlangte Bekanntheit für seine Berechnung der Uranusbahn und die Einführung neuer Sternbilder. Der Himmelsglobus ist auf einem vierbeinigen Holzgestell angebracht, an dessen Kreuzungspunkt sich eine hölzerne Mittelsäule erhebt. Diese trägt den Messingring mit den Gradeinteilungen, welcher zusätzlich von dem horizontalen Holzring des Rahmens gehalten wird. Der Globus dreht sich im Messingring um eine senkrechte Achse, er zeigt die Sternbilder und Fixsterne der nördlichen und südlichen Hemisphäre. Die Sterne sind als einzelne Punkte nach ihren Helligkeiten (sechs Kategorien) dargestellt, die Sternbilder sind als graphische Darstellungen enthalten und mit Namen beschriftet. Auf der achteckigen Umfassung des Globus befinden sich weitere gestochene und montierte Angaben zu Himmelsrichtungen, Tageszeiten und Monaten des Jahres. - Der Globus gleichmäßig gebräunt und angestaubt, mit einigen kleinen Abschürfungen und Platzern. Auf der Unterseite mit Fehlstelle. Der Holzring mit Spannungsrissen und Abplatzungen im Papier an den Kanten. Insgesamt schönes Exemplar. Astronomy - Rare engraved celestial globe. Mounted in 12 segments on a plaster sphere. With brass full-circle meridian ring, loosely mounted in an octagonal wooden frame on four feet. Diameter globe: 31 cm. Total height with stand: 60 cm. - Extremely rare. - Celestial globe based on the star charts of the astronomer Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826), director of the Berlin observatory and member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences. The celestial globe is mounted on a four-legged wooden frame, at the intersection of which rises a wooden central column. This carries the brass ring with the degree divisions, which is also held by the horizontal wooden ring of the frame. The globe rotates in the brass ring around a vertical axis, showing the constellations and fixed stars of the northern and southern hemispheres. The stars are shown as individual points according to their brightnesses (six categories), the constellations are included as graphic representations and labelled with names. On the octagonal enclosure of the globe are further engraved and mounted indications of cardinal points, times of day and months of the year. - The globe evenly browned and dusty, with some small abrasions and chips. On the underside with a missing part. The wooden ring with stress cracks and chipping in the paper at the edges. Overall a fine copy. * Dieses Werk ist regelbesteuert.

    Est: $4,000 - $6,000

    Vorstellung der Gestirne auf XXXIV Kupfertafeln nach der Pariser Ausgabe des Flamsteadschen Himmelsatlas. Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826). Berlin and Stralsund: Gottlieb Augsut Lange, 1782. Oblong 4to., (8 7/8 x 11 5/8 inches). Letterpress title-page and text within ruled borders. Hand-coloured engraved title-page at beginning of plates and 34 engraved plates by Daniel Berger, all with fine hand-colour (plates XII-XVII misbound after plate XXIII). Contemporary calf (worn with loss at the foot of the spine, stained). First edition. Bode "had a great love for practical calculations. In 1786 Bode was appointed royal astronomer, director of the astronomical observatory, and member of the Berlin Academy. He was active in these positions for nearly forty years, until his retirement in 1825. In spite of the renovations which he arranged, the observatory could not compete with those of Paris and London. Bode's literary activity more than made up for the observatory's deficiencies. Besides his tables, his two sky atlases were for a long time indispensable tools for astronomers; the "Vorstellung der Gestirne", which, according to the example set by John Flamsteed's atlas, contained more than 5,000 stars. Bode was almost the only writer to support the then not widely known ideas of Kant, Lambert and Herschel on the infinity of space, the infinite number of inhabited worlds, and the continuous birth and passing away of stars according to natural laws. Bode gave the name Uranus to Herschel's newly discovered planet" (DSB). His later "Uranographia", 1801, listed over 17,000 stars and contained, for the first time, the nebula, star clusters, and double stars discovered by Herschel. Poggendorff I, 218.

FIRST EDITION of this celestial atlas that provided a benchmark in its field, a true successor to the great celestial atlases of Bayer, Hevelius and Flamsteed. "Until the later nineteenth century Bode's remained the most comprehensive celestial atlas ever published, the first to attempt a complete representation of the all 15,000 naked-eye stars" (Whitfield, p.104) Bode played an important role in the development of astronomy in Germany, becoming Royal Astronomer and a member of the Berlin Academy. He gave the name Uranus to Herschel's newly discovered planet. His atlas is noted for a number of stars lying outside of the constellations, and he proposed the concept of boundaries to these constellations that would, with later adjustments, become "fundamental to astronomy" (Whitfield, p.104).
