Information is presented on the orbit of planets according to the Ptolemaic theory that the earth was at the center of the solar system. There is a Ptolemaic armillary sphere Based Upon this same concept, a Ptolemaic diagram of the Sun's position in the sky at varying degrees of latitude, and a diagram showing the relationship between the Sun, Moon, and Earth in a solar and lunar eclipse. Keys are provided that present information as to the lines of latitude and longitude of the maps. This map originates from ‘Biblia Sacra, dat is, de H. Schriftuer van het Oude, en het Nieuwe Testament, naer de laetste Roomsche keure der gemeine Latijnsche overzettinge, in nederduitsch vertaeld (...)’ Utrecht, Hermanus Besseling, 1743.
