Published in 2024 by Olschki and edited by Emilia Olostro Cirella, Laura Abrami, Giovanna Caprio, Francesca Perrone and Donatella Randazzo, the catalogue is the result of the census work of the ancient book heritage preserved in the libraries of the Astronomical and Astrophysical Observatories of the National Institute for Astrophysics. This volume contains the descriptions of 227 printed editions of works published between 1478 and 1560, and represents a unique collection of scientific texts. Thanks to the variety of contents and to the accuracy of the cards, the catalogue offers multiple ideas for further studies, crossing different disciplinary fields from the history of astronomy to the history of the scientific book, in its multiple expressions and future study perspectives.
