KEPLER, Johannes (1571-1630). Epitome astronomiae Copernicanae… Linz : Johann Planck pour Gottfried Tambach et Francfort : Gottfried Tambach, 1618, « 1622 » [1620] et 1621.



Édition originale complète des sept livres de Kepler. À la suite de la parution de son Astronomia nova (1609), Kepler débute la rédaction de travaux fondés sur les principes et théories énoncés par Copernic, qui paraissent successivement sous la forme de trois épais volumes in-octavo. Cependant, si le titre semble suggérer un simple commentaire, l'ouvrage est surtout l'occasion d'exposer ses propres découvertes.

La première partie a été logiquement incluse dans l'Index librorum prohibitorum par l'Eglise catholique, qui avait en outre accusé la propre mère de Kepler de sorcellerie. Brunet, III, col. 652 ; Caspar 55, 69 et 66 ; Houzeau et Lancaster, n° 11831 ; PMM, n° 112 (à propos de Kepler).



3 parties en 1 vol. in-8 (158 x 95 mm), à pagination continue. Une planche dépliante p. 820, nombreux diagrammes gravés sur bois dans le texte. Reliure de l’époque en veau brun, décor à la Du Seuil avec au centre des plats chiffre C I cantonné de fermesses, inscrit dans un médaillon végétal, dos à nerfs et caissons ornés, contreplats de papier marbré, tranches dorées (léger manque en marge extérieure du feuillet 3E7, occasionnant la perte de quelques lettres, rousseurs, comme toujours, en particulier au t. III, petit manque au feuillet l3v ; charnières et dos usés, coiffe de tête manquante, quelques taches au plat supérieur). Provenance : reliure au chiffre "C I" cantonné de fermesses -- ex-libris manuscrit cancellé à la page de titre, l'encre s'étant propagée aux 2 ff. suivants -- autre ex-libris ancien illisible en raison d'un petit manque de papier, réparé par un morceau contrecollé au verso -- P. Brauman (tampon) -- par descendance au propriétaire actuel.
