Ephemerides Astronomicae Meridianum Vindobonensem.

1773Best.-Nr. 168056Vienna: Johann Thomas von Trattner 1773. Beautifully presented celestial calculations First edition of the annual astronomical tables for the meridian of Vienna printed in 1773 for the upcoming year of 1774 from the library of the astronomer Arne August Wyller. Hell the director of the Vienna Observatory published numerous celestial Ephemerides between 1757 and 1793. The work is engagingly illustrated and includes woodcuts of the phases of the moon parallax diagrams and an engraving of lunar craters. Along with his astronomical work in Vienna Hell 1720-1792 distinguished himself by observing the 1769 transit of Venus from Vardø in northern Norway. For this work the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters elected him a foreign member and planned to publish his results but Hell's decision to extend his stay in Norway and gather non-astronomical data on arctic habitats for an encyclopedia that never appeared likely due to his status as a Jesuit meant that the publication was controversially delayed and the data condemned as fraudulent. However the examination of his notebooks a century later posthumously proved the veracity of his results and led to the naming of the lunar crater "Hell" after him. Provenance: from the library of Arne August Wyller 1927-2001 the director of the Institute for Solar Physics at the Royal Swedish Academy and grandson of playwright August Strindberg and actress Harriet Bosse his ownership signature in pencil on the front free endpaper verso.
