Occulta

Varia (mit diversen Schlagworten) – Erste Ausgabe. - Seltenes Werk des eigenen Angaben nach gläubig christlichen Autors. Seine Vision eines geozentrischen Universums schrieb D'Aguila zu Ehren des "Fondateur de cette sublime organisation", des Universums, weiter ist über den Autor bisher wenig bekannt. In seiner Darstellung hält er an Josua 10,12 fest. Er weist in einer Vielzahl von Tabellen und Ausführungen nach, dass die Sonne eine Umlaufbahn hat, sowie die Erde unabhängig von allen anderen Himmelskörpern einen eigenen Orbit, welcher zugleich das imaginäre Zentrum des Universums bildet. - Die Vorsätze erneuert, nur vereinzelt mit unscheinbar blassbraunen Fleckchen. Insgesamt äußerst wohlerhaltenes und sauberes Exemplar.

Varia and Miscellaneous – Occult - With 8 folded engraved plates. Cont. cardboard binding with marbled boards, mounted label on spine and three-sided coloured edges (only slightly rubbed and bumped). - First edition. - Rare work by the author, who claims to be a devout Christian. D'Aguila wrote his vision of a geocentric universe in honor of the "Fondateur de cette sublime organisation", of the universe. In a large number of tables and explanations, he proves that the sun has an orbit and that the earth has its own orbit independently of all other celestial bodies, which at the same time forms the imaginary center of the universe. - The endpapers renewed, only a few pp. with inconspicuous pale brown spots. Altogether a very well-preserved and clean copy.
