Antiquariat Regiomontanus

We are pleased to offer a changing selection of antiquarian items on eBay including:

  • Maps and Atlases
  • Globes and Planetaria
  • Historic Town Views and Plans
  • Engravings, Woodcuts and Lithographs
  • Books and Ephemera
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Curiosities and Oddities

We ship worldwide and are based in Indianapolis, Indiana with partners in Dseldorf and Stockholm. Our website of archived cartographic material and prints is significant and we welcome specific inquiries.

Our antiquarian business is named in honour of Johannes Mler von Kigsberg (1436-1476), better known as Regiomontanus. Known as the father of trigonometry for his magnum opus De triangulis omnimodis Regiomontanus was also the preeminent astronomer of the 15th century. His work was essential in preparing the way for the advances of Tycho, Kepler and Copernicus. His translation (and major rewrite) of the Epitome of the Almagest corrected many Ptolemaic misconceptions, and was studied extensively by Galileo. He also designed and built scientific instruments including astrolabes; hence the woodcut image above taken from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel.

At right is the frontispiece from the 1496 edition of the Epitome - this woodcut shows an imaginary meeting between Ptolemy and Regiomontanus under a great armillary sphere. An assortment of items (hats, mugs, shirts, mousepads etc.) featuring these images (including a colour version of the Schedel portrait) is available here .

We encourage you to visit our auctions often and wish to extend our appreciation to our many customers who allow us to pursue our endeavours in this interesting field.
