A user of the astrolabe can plot the movement of the stars, tell time, and calculate numerous other results. Chaucer translated and revised a standard Latin treatment of the astrolabe. His treatise, which is generally regarded as one of the first technical manuals in English and a model of how technical manuals should be written. Not since 1872 has a free-standing edition of A Treatise the Astrolabe been published. Thanks to the expertise of its editor, Sigmund Eisner, who supplies sixty-eight illustrations, this Variorum edition provides a more detailed exposition than previously available. Eisner’s extensive labors result in the first complete record of textual variants found in the thirty-two surviving manuscripts of the work and in all the major printed text published between 1532 and 1987. This landmark edition also presents a thorough digest of all published commentary on Chaucer’s treatise. Amplified by sixty-eight illustrations, this variorum edition of Chaucer’s A Treatise on the Astrolabe provides a more detailed exposition of the treatise than has ever before been available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Treatise on the Astrolabe is a medieval instruction manual on the astrolabe by Geoffrey Chaucer. It is notable for being written in prose, in English and for describing a scientific instrument. The Treatise is considered the "oldest work in English written upon an elaborate scientific instrument". It is admired for its clarity in explaining difficult concepts-although modern readers lacking an actual astrolabe may find the details of the astrolabe difficult to understand. Robinson believes that it indicates that had Chaucer written more freely composed prose it would have been superior to his translations of Boece and Melibee.

Book excerpt: What is an Astrolabe ? To answer this question in simple language was Geoffrey Chaucer's (astronomer-poet) chief object. He wrote his "Treatise on the Astrolabe" in 1387 for little Lewis, his lo-years- old son, to learn at Oxford. Manuscript copies of this work of Chaucer approaching completeness are very few in number and inaccessible to the general reader. He undoubtedly obtained the greater part of his book from Latin version of the Compositio et Operatio Astrolabii of Messahalla, an Arabian astronomer who is thought to have flourished about the end of the eighth century. Chaucer certainly was of opinion that he had achieved simplicity in his explanations, for he gave his Treatise the title of "Bread and Milk for Children." No one understood better than the great poet that words alone would not suffice to make his meaning clear. He directed his son to read the book with a real Astrolabe in hand. To make the description easier to comprehend, he illustrated every chapter with a neatly drawn diagram, specially drawn to explain each successive proposition, as in Euclid. Fifty-seven paragraphs conclude with the instruction, ' For more declaracioun, lo here the figure', and as many as sixty-two explanatory figures may occur in the more complete manuscripts, as in the fine manuscript in the Cambridge University Library known as Dd. 3. 53. In many of its forms the Astrolabe to be one of the most valuable of educational instruments and contains material for an education from the nursery to the University.
