Regiomontanus, Joannes, 1436-1476 · [Nuremberg : Joannes Regiomontanus] · 10 pictures

This is a printed calendar of eclipses by the astronomer Regiomontanus, issued from Nuremberg in the late fifteenth century for astronomers and navigators who needed predicted eclipse dates. The pictures are rows of tabular columns with dates, times and Latin labels above circular diagrams in black and yellow showing partial and total eclipses of the sun and moon, a clean, diagrammatic system a designer could borrow for schematic charts.
