ad astronomos et omnes illos qui coelestibus scientiis delectantur, in qua Specimen Novum, pro incrementis astronomiæ mirifice promovendis et defectibus hactenus observatis feliciter corrigendis proponitur. Anno 1703

Folio (318x201 mm). 12 pp. Woodcut decorative initial, head- and tail-piece. Unbound. Slightly uniformly browned.

Extremely rare anonymous publication, which is essentially a five-point proposal to advance the field of astronomy and correct long-standing errors in celestial observations. A much shorter version of the pamphlet was published in volume 22 of the Acta Eruditorum (Leipzig, June 1703, pp. 282-284).
