Heavenly Bodies. Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs.
[UK] Thames and Hudson, , 2013 Hardback, 240x170mm, 192p, 90 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9780500251959.
Heavenly Bodies is the chronicle of a group of extraordinary skeletons discovered in the Roman Catacombs in the late sixteenth century. Largely anonymous, they were nevertheless held to be the remains of Early Christian martyrs, and treated as sacred. Sent to Catholic churches and religious houses in German-speaking Europe to replace holy relics that had been destroyed in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, the skeletons were carefully reassembled, and richly adorned with jewels and precious costumes. They became the centre of spiritual life for many communities, yet as time passed, faith in them wavered and they were cast out as imposters, as the Catholic Church turned its back on what was once one of its treasures. This is a story that until now has been left out of the pages of both art and religious histories.

First printing of these 4 fundamental papers on the perturbations of the moon, as Euler was the first to use of the Calculus on the motion of the moon in relation to the attractive powers of the Moon, the Earth and the Sun. The theories laid down here is also called Euler's second theory and it is the most interesting. It was of the greatest importtence as a basis for later developments.""He applied his mathematics to astronomy, working out the nature of some perturbations, being in this respect the precursor of Lagrange and Laplace. He began to replace the geometric methods of proof used by Galileo and Newton with the algebraic, a tendency carried to its conclusion by Lagrange. In particular he worked on lunar theory, that is, on the analysis of the exact motion of the moon, the complications of which have been the despair of astronomers and mathematicians since the time of Kepler. - Eneström: 398, 399, 400 a. 401.
