The present contribution will first concern itself with an important geometrical diagram found in the manuscripts issuing from lessons that Peurbach gave on his Theoricae novae planetarum in 1454. Twenty years later, Regiomontanus provided a detailed explanation of the contents of this diagram, dealing with the planet Mercury, in order to show one of the many errors passed down from the medieval Theorica communis. In order to set our analysis into the more general context of the Mercury model explained in Peurbach's Theoricae novae planetarum, we will then examine the structure and movements of the partial orbs which form the sphere of Mercury, taking into account their motions in both longitude and latitude.
