The Treatise On The Astrolabe Of Geoffrey Chaucer is a book written by the famous English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, in 1391. This book is a guide to using an astrolabe, a medieval instrument used for astronomical and navigational purposes. In this book, Chaucer provides detailed instructions on how to use an astrolabe, including how to calculate the positions of the stars and planets, the altitude of the sun, and the time of day. He also includes information on how to use the astrolabe for navigation, such as determining the latitude and longitude of a ship at sea.The book is written in Middle English, the language spoken in England during the Middle Ages, and includes illustrations of the astrolabe and its various parts. This edition of the book was published in 1870 and includes a modern English translation of the text, as well as notes and commentary by the editor, Walter William Skeat. It is a valuable resource for historians, astronomers, and 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.
