 Several treatises were published to describe the Molyneux globes and provide guides on their use . Molyneux himself wrote a treatise , now lost , entitled The Globes Celestial and Terrestrial Set Forth in Plano , which Sanderson published in 1592 . In the same year , Thomas Hood , a London @-@ based mathematics lecturer who had written a 1590 work on the use of celestial globes , published The Vse of Both the Globes , Celestiall and Terrestriall . This was followed in 1594 by two works , one of which was Blundeville 's book . The other , Tractatus de Globis et Eorum Usu ( Treatise on Globes and their Use ) , was published by the mathematician Robert Hues . This work went into at least 13 printings and was translated from Latin into Dutch , English and French . In 1599 , Edward Wright published Certaine Errors in Navigation , which included commentary on the use of the terrestrial and celestial globes developed by Molyneux .
