Harmonia Macrocosmica
The ''Harmonia Macrocosmica'' is a star atlas written by Andreas Cellarius and published in 1660 by Johannes Janssonius. The first part of the atlas contains copper plate prints depicting the world systems of Claudius Ptolemy, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Tycho Brahe. At the end are star maps of the classical and Christian constellations, the latter ones as introduced by Julius Schiller in his ''Coelum stellatum christianum'' of 1627.
== History ==
In the foreword to his ''Chronologica'', Gerard Mercator stated the intention to publish an atlas which would cover everything of the then-known cosmos, geography and history of the earth. During his life, Mercator published five volumes of his atlas, the last one being published by his son Rumold. After Mercator's death, the Amsterdam cartographer Johannes Janssonius took over the project.
He and fellow-cartographer Hendricus Hondius published their ''Novus Atlas'' in 1636, which featured over 320 maps in four languages. In 1660, Andreas Cellarius' ''Harmonia Macrocosmica'' was published as the seventh volume of the project. With the final addition of a volume describing the cities of the world from 1657, the project was finally completed.
