¶ A declaration of the table of the fixed sterres whiche is in the Ephemerides. The. 22. rule. (Book 22)

FOr to knowe the aspectes, not onely of the one planet vnto the other, but also of the sayd planetes & fixed ster∣res, you haue before the Ephemerides a table intituled, tabula stellarum fyxarum in∣signiorum. That is to saye, the table of the mooste notable fixed sterres, rectified in the yeare. 1499. The whiche conteineth first of al at the left side the names of the most notable fixed sterres, after the mem¦bers & dominations of the images & con stellatiōs in the which they ar brought. The afterward doth containe their lōgi¦tude. that is to say, their true place, & di∣staūce frō the beginning of Aries. After the which longitude, there foloweth the latitude of the sayde sterres, which is the deuiatiō & distaūce of y^• same fixed sters

from the zodiake or Ecliptike li••e, or to∣warde the parte meridionall. Conse∣quentlye foloweth the declination of the sayde sterres from the equinoctial circle, and the difference or denominatiō of the saide declination, that is to be knowen if she be septentrionall by this lettre S. or if she be meridionall by this lettre M. Af∣terwarde foloweth the right ascention of the same sterres, that is to saye, the arche of the Equinoctiall, beginninge at the diuision of the springe time, and heade of Aries, ascending aboue the horizont with the saide sterres in the right spheare, and vnder euery merediane. For all m••r••di¦anes are euery one as a right horizonte, and euery right horizont, is that whiche passeth by the poles of the worlde: finally is noted the greatnes or magnitude, and then the nature of the sayde sterres refer¦red vnto the Planetes, as the titles, in∣scriptions, and characters of the saide ta∣ble doth shewe plainely inough.
