Actually, more than a dictionary, I imagine it as a functional tool for nowadays students, sort of a guide, because it also contains weights and measures.]]> 2022-05-25 09:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199118736 A tutor to astronomie and geographie, or, An easie and speedy way to know the use of both the globes, coelestial and terrestrial in six books : the first teaching the rudiments of astronomy and geography, the 2. shewing by the globes the solution of astronomical & geographical probl., the 3. shewing by the globes the solution of problems in navigation, the 4. shewing by the globes the solution of astrological problemes, the 5. shewing by the globes the solution of gnomonical problemes, the 6. shewing by the globes the solution of of [sic] spherical triangles : more fully and amply then hath ever been set forth either by Gemma Frisius, Metius, Hues, Wright, Blaew, or any others that have taught the use of the globes : and that so plainly and methodically that the meanest capacity may at first reading apprehend it, and with a little practise grow expert in these divine sciences / by Joseph Moxon ; whereunto is added Antient poetical stories of the stars, shewing reasons why the several shapes and forms are pictured on the coelestial globe, collected from Dr. Hood ; as also a Discourse of the antiquity, progress and augmentation of astronomie. msanchez2798 https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199125913 2022-05-25 09:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199125913 About the guide for using the globes msanchez2798 https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199130702 Once again, we notice Joseph Moxon, so we may understand that this mathematician was constantly working with astronomy. I was interested in this work because combines astronomy with geography, resulting in a series of 6 books of basic knowledge for anyone that wanted to approach these topics.]]> 2022-05-25 09:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199130702 Astronomy's advancement, or, News for the curious being a treatise of telescopes, and an account of the marvelous astronomical discoveries of late years made throughout Europe : with the figures of the sun, moon, and planets, with Copernicus his system, in twelve copper plates : also, an abstract to ching the distance, faces, bulks, and orbs of the heavenly bodies, the best way of using instruments for satisfaction, &c. out of the best astronomers, ancient and modern, viz. Mr. Hook, Mr. Bouilleau, Mr. Hevelius, Father Kircher, &c. / done out of French by Jos. Walker. msanchez2798 https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199133465 2022-05-25 09:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199133465 About Astronomy's advancement... msanchez2798 https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199137019 As mentioned before, the telescope was a marvelous invention for astronomy, so it is appealing to me the fact that in this work we can find the latest discoverings within astronomy at the time. It also explains the figures of the cosmos and the Copernicus' system, so I imagine that this was basic to know the latest discoverings of this science.]]> 2022-05-25 09:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/msanchez2798/1k6gx7rvryu7psp3/wish/2199137019
