This volume is the most complete updated catalogue on the transits
of Mercury and Venus from -2000 BC to 4000 AD. All calculations are
based on the latest theories on the motion of Mercury and Venus and
a great space is given to the maps and to the details of the times.
In fact, not only the times of the maximum transit were calculated,
but also the beginning and end of each phase, the curves of the
exterior and interior ingress and egress, the position angle, the
least angular distance between the centres, the best topocentrical
sites, minimum and maximum duration, with details about where all
this happens, and other. A detailed discussion was made, six
millennia of data, which may be useful for historical researches
but also for stargazing astronomers and professionals.
