Diclides coelometricae seu valvae astronomicae universales omnia artis totius munera psephophoretica in sat modicis finibus duarum tabularum methodo nova, generali, & facilima [sic] continentes. London: F. Kingston, 1602. 4°. (193 x 150 mm). Großer animierter Holzschnitt auf dem Titel, Abbildungen im Text und Tabellen am Ende (Aa-Oo4). Zeitgenössisches Pergament mit einigen unleserlichen Anmerkungen, handschriftlicher Titel am unteren Rand.
Eine seltene astronomische und mathematische Abhandlung, die leider unvollständig ist. Das jüngste Auktionsergebnis stammt aus dem Jahr 2005 (£ 9.600 Sotheby's). Das Werk wird besonders geschätzt, weil es nicht nur äußerst kryptisch und obskur ist, sondern auch Neperos Regeln über Algorithmen um zwanzig Jahre vorwegnimmt, während es eine andere Methode verwendet. Mit einigen frühe Randbemerkungen (es fehlen die Blätter von N1 bis O2 und S. 89-100, zwei Brandlöcher mit kleinem Verlust auf dem Titel, leichte Wurmgänge am unteren Rand von O3 und S2). - A rare astronomical and mathematical treatise unfortunatelly incomplete. The most recent auction result is from 2005 (£9,600 Sotheby's). The work is particularly appreciated because, in addition to being extremely cryptic and obscure, it anticipates Nepero's rules on algorithms by twenty years, while using a different method. Large animated woodcut on title, illustrations in text and tables at end (Aa-Oo4), some early annotations in margins (lacking leaves from N1 to O2 and pp. 89-100, two burnholes with small loss on title, light worming at bottom margin of O3 and S2). Contemporary limp vellum with some illebile annotations, manuscript title to bottom edge.
