Zweite Ausgabe der Beschreibungen und statistischen Auswertungen zahlreicher Himmelsbeobachtungen, besonders von Sonnenfinsternissen. - "In 1715 Manfredi completed his two-volume 'Ephemerides motuum coelestium' for 1715-1725, based on the still unpublished tables of Cassini in Paris, his predecessor in the chair of astronomy at Bologna. Intended, unlike most of its predecessors, not for astrological use but for practical astronomy, the ephemerides were of unusual extent and practicability. They included tables of the meridian crossing of the planets, tables of the eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter and of the conjunction of the moon and the principal stars, as well as maps of the regions of the earth affected by solar eclipses. The ephemerides were preceded by a volume of instructions including tables that were reprinted by Eustachio Zanotti in 1750" (DSB). - Die vier großen Karten mit eingezeichnetem Verlauf der Sonnenfinsternisse von 1752, 1758, 1760 und 1762. - "La seconde édition, publiée par E. Zanotti, renferme, de plus que la première, un travail préparatoire pour le calcul d'éphémérides de 1751 à 1762, et un catalogue d'étoiles par E. Zanotti, assisté de P. Matteucci et J. Brunelli" (H-L). - Einband minimal fleckig und angestaubt. Insgesamt nahezu fleckenfreies Exemplar in guter Erhaltung. - DSB 9, 77; Houzeau-Lancaster 15462; Riccardi I/2, 80, 5 (gibt fälschlich 5 Tafeln an). - Selten
