Complete translation of the eight books of the Mathesis in a single volume. A paperback impression exists under ISBN 9780866906197; edition details for both were confirmed against independent bookseller listings rather than a publisher's own catalogue page, which was not found online. Book II is the earliest surviving source to state the planetary joys as a complete scheme covering all seven planets.
