Le système du monde; histoire des doctrines cosmologiques de Platon à Copernic

Duhem, Pierre Maurice Marie, 1861-1916 · 1913 · Paris, A. Hermann · 6 pictures

Pierre Duhem's multi-volume history of cosmological doctrines from Plato to Copernicus, published in Paris by A. Hermann from 1913 for scholars of science and philosophy. The figures are spare line diagrams reconstructing ancient and medieval planetary models—nested circles, deferents and epicycles, Greek-lettered points, and feathered arrows marking direction of motion.
