A finely engraved twin hemisphere celestial map similar in style to the Hevelius map. Six circular diagrams surround the planispheres: Tychonic model of the planetary system, Ptolemaic planetary system, relation between the moon and the tides, annual illumination of the earth by the sun, Copernican planetary system, and the monthly illumination of the moon. The spheres appear within an engraved background of billowy clouds with banner titles, and are filled with constellations of the northern and southern skies. Second state of this scarce map that bears the imprint prostat in Officina Homanniana. Eimmart's map was later copied by Schenk and Lotter.
