Summary

In the most lavishly illustrated book of the 1400’s, solid spheres ceaselessly turn, carrying the planets and filling the universe between the outermost heaven and the central Earth. Exalted far above the Earth and the elemental regions beneath the Moon, these solid spheres, incorruptible, effortlessly turn in place, creating a harmony of motions known as the music of the spheres.
