In Latin and German. This book was Homann's second school atlas, published after his 1719 Atlas Methodicus (see our 4385.000). While the Atlas Methodicus seemed to be intended for the younger school child with its system of blank maps and indexes, this Atlas Scholasticus was clearly intended for the more advanced student with its use of the same maps as appeared in Homann's various editions of his atlases.

Plate depicts the state of astronomical knowledge in the early 1700s. In the center is a representation of the Sun-centered heliocentric world introduced by the great Polish astronomer, Nicholas Copernicus. The view here includes descriptions from the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, complete with sunburst and showing the orbits of the planets and their moons revolving concentrically around the sun. The rest of the universe is shown in the form of the twelve constellations of the zodiac. In the upper left corner, we see representations of the then-known planets along with the Sun. In the upper right corner, we see heavenly clouds and diagrams of other solar systems that were thought to exist around the stars. In the lower left corner, we see a depiction of the solar eclipse of May 12, 1706. In the lower right corner below the illustration of a lunar eclipse, we see representations of three cosmological systems that are being introduced to us by Urania, the goddess of astronomy. Going left to right, we first see the system of the ancient Greek astronomer, Claudius Ptolemy, which is partially obliterated by contemporary astronomical instruments (allegorically implying that modern science has dispatched this view). In this system, the Earth is in the center, followed by the orbits of our Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the fixed stars. A hybrid system developed by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe is next. In this model, the Earth is in the center and is orbited by the Moon and the Sun. However, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn orbit the Sun, giving sol some semblance of grandeur. But the fixed stars continue to surround the central Earth. The final model is labeled sic ratione (i.e., according to reason) and is the Copernican system. This labeling and the central dominance of Copernicus’ ideas in this print clearly indicate the opinions of Doppelmayr, even though alternative models are included in the corner for historical purposes. (from text by Nick Kanas, University of California, San Francisco).
