; Posner:
Mr . Kebabian called . I told him about the pamphlets
about which you called and he said that Kepler is the
man who spoke first about interplanetary travel .
You did the right thing in returning the pamphlets as
they were not too important. Esnault-Pelterie made
the first determination of escape velocity - however
if it was not mentioned in the write-up, it was not contained in the pamphlets . He said they have some of
his works .

JOHANN KEPLER
1571 - 1630
This year marks the quatrecentennial of the birth of Johann
Kepler, astronomer, who discovered the three laws describing
the course and speed of planets in their orbits. Kepler was
the first to construct an exact astronomy based on the Copernican sun-centered system of 1543. In 1687 Kepler's laws were
mathematically derived from the law of universal gravitation
by Isaac Newton.
Kepler is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of
science. He was an ardent mystic and a practicing astrologer,
and lived through the most destructive war previous to the 20th
century. His geometrical picture of the universe and his ideas
on the harmonies of the spheres look odd to us now, but they
were the motive for Kepler's passionate devotion to the Copernican system, and the source of his great discoveries in astronomy.

Editio princeps of Kepler's greatest work in which he first proclaimed the first
two of his three famous laws.
Keplerf s Astronomia Nova is for modern astronomy only second in importance to
Copernicus* fundamental book and the stepping stone to Newton's Principia. Here
Kepler demonstrated that the seat of the force that moves the planetary system is
in the Sun; he proved that the machinery of the heaven is like a clockwork; all the
manifold movements in it are caused by one simple magnetic physical force, just as
in a clock all movements are effected by one simple weight. This guiding idea of a
dynamic explanation of the universe finds its expression in the sub-title of this great
book: Physica Coelestis.

Dear Mr. Posner:
With reference to our telephone conversation, I hasten to
report to you the following:
The definitive bibliography by Max Caspar, Bibliographia
Kepleriana, Munich 1936, says about the portrait,on page 53:
(translated) "Some copies contain a portrait of Emperor Rudolf
II.
This picture is not to be considered as an integral part
of the book.
If it had been made for the Astronomia Nova the
size of this portrait would probably have been adapted to the size
of the book.
Portrait size without margins 2? 1/2 x 21.9 cm.; size
of printed matter 29 x 16.7 cm.
Therefore the portrait is mostly
folded in the copies extant in an unattractive way. 11
Therefore my theory, which has been confirmed by my experience,
is correct, that the portrait should be added to the large paper
copies which were made for presentation, and to which it could be
added without folding.
I do hope this shows without doubt that
a complete copy must not contain the portrait.
I see that the Kepler in the Burndy Library (Heralds of Science,
no. 5) has no portrait, and seems also to be defective because
there is no mention of the folding plate.
just inquired in my bookkeeping department and would like
Mr. Posner, April 25,1955, p. 2
to say that we have not billed you for this book, and so far as
could determine have not received payment for it.
I shall make up a list tomorrow of all the books which you saw
when 3rou were in New York and send it to you.
With kindest regards,
Yours sincerely

Tychonis Brahe ... [Heidelberg, E. Vogelin], 1609.

[I9]ff. 337pp. Lacks 1st and last blanks. With the folding
table M Tabula Synoptica" and numerous diagrams throughout the text.
Old vellum over boards, gilt lettering on spine. Browned as usual, a
number of repairds to blank margins, and signature inked out in lower
margin of title-page.
t
Scarce First Edition of Kepler's greatest work,
the first and second of his three famous Laws of the Planetary Motion.
l! Kepler stands, with -Galileo, between Copernicus and Newton among
the foun
ders of modern astronomy and of a new conception of the uni•
verse. 'The New Astronomy 1 is perhaps his most important book. 11 Printing and the Mind of Man: 112.
»
Here Kepler demonstrated that the seat of the force that moves the
planetary system is the Sun; he proved that the machinery of the heavens
is like a clockwork; all the manifold movements in it are caused by one
simple magnetic physical force. This guiding idea of a dynamic explanation of the univrse finds its expression in the subtitle of this great
book: l! Physica Coelestis. lf
*
Caspar's biography of Kepler(translation, 1959)* pp. 123-142, discusses
the Astronomia Nova and Kepler's extensive research on this work. He
also gives the history of the publication and the problems of finances, etc.
After five years of effort it was finally printed by Ernst Vogelin in Heidelberg
[Some bibliographers and historians give the place of publication as Prague]

fl ln make-up, the book corresponds to the importance due to the New
Astronomy. In big folio format and lovely print, it is the most magni

GROLIER SCIENCE EXHIBIT No. 58 (the Harmonices Mundi}.
" In his work Harmonices Mundi he connected the planetary motions with all fields
of abstraction and harmony; with geometrical figures, with the relations of numbers,
with musical harmonies. But among all these fantastic we find one precious di
always cited as Kepler's third law . . . for all the planets the squares of the
periods of revolution are proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the sun.'*
if Astronomy, 1961.

criticisms by Robert Fludd, the English Rosicrucian and the third the work in which
he " made some advance in the use of the infinitesimal." Smith: History of Mathematics,
