History of the planetary systems from Thales to Kepler
A scholarly history of astronomical theory by Danish-Irish astronomer J. L. E. Dreyer, published by Cambridge University Press in 1906 for students and historians of science. Its seventeen figures are line diagrams redrawing ancient and medieval planetary models—nested circles, epicycles, deferents and eccentrics marked with italic letters and direction arrows—useful as spare geometric motifs or orbital schematics.
