Peter Apian’s Astronomicum Caesareum was published in 1540. The product of 8 years of work, it is a complex book with many interactive wheel diagrams, also known as volvelles or Apian wheels, that allowed the user to calculate the positions of the planets as they moved around the central earth. The book, published only three years before Nicolaus Copernicus’ treatise that positioned the sun at the centre of the universe, draws on a millenia of scientific knowledge and represents the pinnacle of sixteenth century print making.
