EDITORS COMMENTS
Andreas Cellarius's "Atlas Coelestis seu Harmonia Macrocosmica," published in 1661, is a seminal work in the history of Western astrology and astronomy. This particular print, Folio 24, depicts the Northern Hemisphere, specifically featuring the hemisphere's ancient star map, Hemisphaerium Stellatum Boreale Antiquum. The map was printed in Amsterdam by Johannes Janssonius during the Early Modern Era. Andreas Cellarius (1596-1665) was a renowned German cartographer and astronomer, whose work greatly influenced the development of celestial cartography. This engraving represents the Northern Hemisphere with great detail and accuracy, showcasing the constellations and stars that were known during the time. The map is a testament to the classical culture and the fascination with the cosmos that characterized the Early Modern Era. The constellations are depicted in their classical forms, reflecting the rich heritage of astrological knowledge that had been passed down from ancient civilizations. The map also includes the zodiac and planetary positions, making it a valuable resource for both astronomers and astrologers. The intricate details of the stars and constellations are beautifully rendered, making this print a work of art in its own right. This print is part of the vast collection of the Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona, Spain. The library's holdings reflect the rich cultural heritage of Catalonia and the broader Western world. The acquisition of this print adds to the library's extensive collection of historical maps and astronomical works, providing valuable resources for researchers and scholars in various fields.
