19. ARATI SOLENSIS: PHAENOMENA ET DIOSEMEA graece et latine (...).

Leipzig 1793, Weidmann, XXX pp. +482 pp.

Leipzig edition of the famous astronomical hexameter poem Phaenomena - On the Signs of the Heavens by Aratos of Soloj (c. 310-245 B.C.), Hellenistic poet and Greek physician. The author paraphrased the work of Eudoxus of Knidos, in which he described 44 constellations of stars, not being an astronomer himself. The work gained immense popularity in both the ancient and modern worlds. Its traces can be found in the New Testament (St. Paul's speech at the Areopagus), or in Adam Mickiewicz's Pan Tadeusz (weather forecasts from the behavior of cattle and birds at the beginning of the 10th book). The text of the poem parallels in Greek and Latin. Extensive commentaries and footnotes partly in Greek, partly in Latin. Translation into Latin and study of the poem by Jan Theophil Buhle (1763-1821), professor of philosophy in Göttingen.

Period binding, half leather in medium condition with rubbing and loss, especially on the spine with the title rubbed as well; interior in medium condition, occasionally stains but dry; on the back pastedown sheet a handwritten addition to the index of items; overall medium condition.
