Resumo(s)
In this article, we publish the critical edition of Andalò di Negro’s De compositione astrolabii, with English translation and commentary. The mathematician and astronomer Andalò di Negro
(Genoa ca. 1260–Naples 1334) presumably redacted this treatise on the astrolabe in the 1330s, while
residing at the court of King Robert of Naples. The present edition has three purposes: first, to make
available a text missing from the previous compilations of works by Andalò di Negro (ed. Bonus
1475; Bertolotto 1892; Fornaciari and Faracovi 2005); second, to revise a privately-circulated edition
of the text (Cesari 1984); third, to help disseminating one of the rare Latin texts presenting the principles of the stereographic projection which underlie the construction of the astrolabe.
