Item description from seller

The frontispiece is inscribed with the signature of a former owner. Marginalia are present on the colophon. Elegantly bound in half leather, likely rebound in the late 18th century. Comprising four books, this work covers astrology, natural philosophy, alchemy, mathematics, meteorology, optics, and related disciplines. The first edition was published in Naples in 1558 but was subsequently banned. This Plantin edition, circumventing the scrutiny of the Vatican, was republished in Antwerp. It is the principal work of Giovanni Battista Della Porta, a Renaissance polymath and physician, and represents a significant publication in which the content largely departs from medieval alchemy and approaches modern scientific thought. Although a later edition of 1589 expanded the work to twenty books, the present volume is a rare early edition comprising only the original four books.
