Astronomica
This composite
manuscript with content regarding astronomy, bound in crimson sheepskin, was
owned by Heinrich Amici († 1451),
city physician of Basel, who bequeathed it to the city's Carthusian monastery. In addition to calculations of planetary
conjunctions and eclipses, the volume also contains astronomical treatises by Pierre
d'Ailly or Petrus de Alliaco (around 1350-1420). D'Ailly was a scholar and church
politician and infused his theological works with astrological justifications.

Petrus de Alliaco, Imago mundi
Pierre d'Ailly (Latin: Petrus de Alliaco) was a scholar, church politician and productive writer. His geographic work Imago mundi became famous; Christopher Columbus used it in order to plan his voyages of discovery. This Basel exemplar belonged to the city physician of Basel, Heinrich Amici († 1451), who bequeathed it to his city's Carthusian monastery.
