LEFEVRE D’ÉTAPLES Jacques Introductorium astronomicum / theorias coporum [sic!] coelestium duobus libris complectens: adiecto commentario declaratum.

Renouard, 20:7; Houzeau-Lancaster, 2290; Schreiber, 27.

First edition of Lefèvre d’Etaples’ Astronomicon to contain the commentaries by Clichtove. The frist edition (1503) was published without them.

“Lefèvre’s Astronomicon, a brief introductory textbook on astronomy, contains a prefatory letter to Germain de Ganay, in which Lefèvre draws a sharp distinction between the false astrology of seers and “horoscope-makers,” the true science of the heavenly bodies (i.e. modern astronomy). This treatise  became quite popular and influential, and was reissued by H. Estienne 1517 with a commentary by Clichtove” (Schreiber).
