Original handwritten signature, in full.
The signature is written on 16th cent. paper, cut out from one of Brahe's books, measuring 8,3 x 14,4 cm. This piece of paper is mounted on a 19th cent. piece of paper, measuring 17,4 x 21,9 pp., on which is written in 18th cent. hand in German: "... (?) Unterschrift der hochberühmten Astronom Tÿcho Brahe-/ vorn in einer von seine auf Uranienburg gedrückte Schriften, die er jemand überreicht hat, stand obenstehender EIGENHÄNDIG von ihm geschrieben -/ es sit/ d:dt:/ Tÿcho Brahe" ("...(?) signature of the highly famous astronomer Tycho Brahe-/ at the front of one of his works printed at Uranienburg, which he has given to someone, the above was written by him in HIS OWN HAND -/ that is/ d:dt:/ Tÿcho Brahe"). Over the signature, "Tycho Brahe", Brahe has written d:dt: (i.e. d[ono] d[edit], meaning "[Tycho Brahe] gave [this] as a gift).
