Summary[edit]

Description
English: A digital reproduction of Peter Apian's diagram of the celestial orbs from his 1539 work Cosmographia. There have been minor changes to text alignment and the position of stars within their respective spheres; however, the positional relationship between the various spheres has been maintained.
