"Having trained and practised for many years as a physician, while maintaining an interest in mathematics and astronomy, Mulerius was appointed professor of medicine and mathematics at the newly-founded University of Groningen in 1614. In 1608 he had obtained letters patent for a set of eclipse tables based on the work of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Tycho Brahe; by the time the work was published in 1611 a fourth source, the Alfonsine tables, had been included. By relating the motions of the sun and moon, Mulerius's work made the calculation of eclipses much easier. A second part to the work concerning the other planets, written in 1612, was never published and exists in manuscript only. In 1617 Mulerius published a new, corrected edition of Copernicus's De revolutionibus, the first to contain explanatory notes ." (Sotheby's). Houzeau & Lancaster 12750 HBS 69531. $5,000.
