The Treatise On The Astrolabe Of Geoffrey Chaucer is a book written by the renowned English poet and author, Geoffrey Chaucer. Originally published in 1391, the book is a guide to the use of an astrolabe, a medieval astronomical instrument used for solving problems related to time and the position of celestial bodies.Chaucer's treatise is written in Middle English and is considered one of the earliest technical manuals in English literature. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides an introduction to the astrolabe and its various components, while the second part offers instructions on how to use the instrument to determine the position of the stars and planets.The 1870 edition of The Treatise On The Astrolabe is a modern reprint of Chaucer's original work, with added notes and commentary by the editor, Walter William Skeat. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval astronomy and literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of science and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
