Celestial table globe. Astronomical details on the sphere are almost the same as Anich GLB0078. However, this globe has Greek letters of their Bayer notation added to the stars in manuscript and the zodiacal constellations numbered 1-12, also in manuscript. A repair has been made above Cetus, with labels added in manuscript, and holes have been made at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.
There is a magnitude table below Crater in a cartouche, with the numbers of stars given for each magnitude class. A total of 1863 stars are depicted and three star groups are named. The Milky Way is drawn but not labelled. The Small Magellanic Cloud is labelled and the nova in Cassiopeia is indicated by the date 1572. The 48 Ptolemaic constellations and four of the non-Ptolemaic constellations are drawn. Three southern constellations are drawn, as well as those of Plancius and all those of Hevelius. However, not all the constellations are labelled and some are spelled incorrectly. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
