The Treatise On The Astrolabe Of Geoffrey Chaucer (1870) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164057888)

The Treatise On The Astrolabe Of Geoffrey Chaucer is a book written by Andrew Edmund Brae in 1870. The book is a detailed analysis and commentary on the astrolabe, an ancient astronomical instrument used for measuring the positions of stars and planets. The astrolabe was widely used in medieval Europe for both navigation and astrology, and Chaucer, the famous English poet and author, wrote a treatise on its use in the late 14th century. Brae's book provides a comprehensive explanation of Chaucer's treatise, including its historical context, technical details, and practical applications. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval astronomy and astrology, as well as for those interested in the history of science and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
