understand the same, I have upon this paper transcribed the con
clusions that he inferreth from his twelve indagations; the first of
which is upon the two observations:

The greatest and
least elevations of
the new star differ
not from each o
ther more than the
polar allitudes, the
said star being in
the Firmnment.

Of Maurolicus and Hainzelius, from which the Star is collected to have been distant from the centre lesse than 3 semidiameters of the Earth, the difference of Parallaxes being 4 gr. 42 m.30 sec.	3 semid.
2. And is calculated on the observations of Hain-zelius, with Parall. of 8. m. 30 sec. and its di-stance from the centre is computed to be more than	25 semid.
3. And upon the observations of Tycho and Hain-zelius, with Parall. of 10 m. and the distance of the centre is collected to be little lesse than	19 semid.
4. And upon the observations of Tycho and the Landgrave, with Parall. of 14 m. the distance from the centre is made to be about	10 semid.
5. And upon the observations of Hainzelius and Gemma, with Parall. of 42 m. 30 sec. whereby the distance is gathered to be about	4 semid.
6. And upon the observations of the Landgraveand Camerarius, with Parall. of 8 m. the di-stance is concluded to be about	4 semid.
7. And upon the observations of Tycho and Hage-cius, with Parall. of 6 m. and the distance is made	31 semid.
8. And upon the observations of Hagecius and Vr-sinus with Parall. of 43 m. and the stars distance from the superficies of the Earth is rendred	1/2 semid.
9. And upon the observations of Landgravius and Buschius, with Parall. of 15 m. and the di-stance from the superficies of the Earth is by supputation	1/48 semid.
10. And upon the observations of Maurolice and Munocius, with Parall. of 4 m. 30 sec. and the compnted distance from the Earths surface is	1/5 semid.
11. And upon the observations of Munocius and Gemma, with Parall. of 55 m. and the distance from the centre is rendred	13 semid.
