 SECTIONES VII (De Observationibus ru>v 0otvo/ilvwv ; de Canonibus Primi Motus ; de Rationibus 

 Umbrarum et de Instrumentis Sciotericis ; de Generalibus Magnitudinum Dimensionibus ; de 

 Ratione Librationis, quae in Ducendis Aquis observatur ; de Artificio eiaculandi Sphseras e Tor- 

 mentis; de Observationibus Geographicis) ; with numerous spirited woodcuts, and diagrams of 

 Astronomical Instruments, Triangulations, Cannon, etc. etc., folio, new hf. brown calf gilt (FINE 

 TALL COPY) ; VERY RARE, 2. 2s Basileae, 1561 



A curious circumstance connected with this work is that nothing is known of its author, >.vho is not mentioned by 

 Montucla or Poggendorff (who mistakenly attributes the work to Regiomontanus), or in other bibliographies. It forms 

 unquestionably an illustration and enlargement of Regiomontanus's treatise on trigonometry (q.v. infra et ante), and is 

 especially interesting for its numerous well-executed woodcuts. 



Poggendorff mentions a Johannes Noviomagus (Jan Bronckhorst), 1494-1570, who for some time professed mathematics 

 at Rostock ; but there is no evidence to connect him with the above Daniel Santbech Noviomagus.

 Acquaintance, with fine portrait holding an armillary sphere by v. d. Gucht after Vanderbanck, 

 and folding plates, 2 vols. 4to. old calf, 10s Qd Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1740 



' A model of careful exposition, reminding one of the ' Algebra ' which Euler dictated after having been overtaken by 

 blindness. It contains an account of Euclid's doctrine of proportion, a good deal of what we now call mensuration, a con- 

 sideration of Diophantine problems, and of magic squares, and it finished with the solution of biquadratic equations.' 

 D. N. B. The memoir prefixed, the chief authority on this blind mathematician, is supposed to be derived from his friends 

 Thomas Nettleton, Richard Wilkes, J. Boldero, Gervas Holmes, etc.

 Cambridge.' 



1 Lord Chesterfield, who was at Trinity Hall, 1712-14, and attended Saunderson's lectures, described him as a professor
