LIBRI TRES. Authore Isaaco Newton, Equite Aurio. Latine reddidit Samuel Clarke. S. T. P. Editio Secunda, auctior. LONDINI. Impensis Gul. & Joh. Innys Regiae Societatis Typographorum ad Insignia Principis in Areâ Occidentali D. Pauli. MDCCIXX [1719]. In 4º de 19,5x12 cm. Com ix, 415 págs. Encadernação da época inteira de pele com ferros a ouro na lombada e ferros a ouro rolados com motivos florais nas pastas formando esquadrias e com decoração ao centro. Corte das folhas marmoreado. Acondicionado em estojo de pele. Ilustrado com 12 gravuras desdobráveis, abertas em chapa de metal, com todas as figuras geométricas do estudo da reflexão, da refracção e do estudo do arco-íris e das cores. Exemplar com título de posse manuscrito e rasurado por baixo do pé de imprensa na folha de rosto. Um dos grandes livros da história da ciência, sendo as suas conclusões tão avançadas para a época, que só foram plenamente integradas no pensamento científico, no inicio do século XIX. É em grande parte um registro das experiência e das deduções feitas a partir deles, cobrindo uma ampla gama de tópicos no que mais tarde seria conhecido como óptica física. A combinação dos métodos experimentais exemplificados pelo Opticks e os métodos matemáticos exemplificados pelos Principia foram estabelecidos como um modelo unificado e abrangente da ciência newtoniana. Newton apresentou, pela primeira vez, os seus experimentos numa sessão realizada na Royal Society de Londres em 1672. Segunda edição da tradução latina desta célebre obra de Newton, a mais completa, enriquecida por acrescentos do próprio Newton que acompanhou e reviu o trabalho de tradução. Na realidade é a 4.ª edição da obra, pois Newton publicou a primeira edição em inglês, com o título Opticks em 1704, seguindo-se a tradução para latim, em 1706 (2.ª edição 1.ª em latim), feita pelo seu amigo Clarke, em que o autor introduziu acrecentos; em 1717-1718, o autor publicou 3.ª edição (2ª em inglês) em que acrecentou muito a obra, tendo esta passado a integrar 31 Quaeris . Por fim nesta 4.ª edição (2.ª em latim) o autor reviu meticulosamente o texto e ajustou partes do texto que tinham gerado grandes debates na Europa. Newton descreve as suas experiências sobre a natureza fundamental da luz por meio da refração da luz com prismas e lentes, a difração da luz por folhas de vidro espaçadas e o comportamento das misturas de cores com luzes espectrais ou pós de pigmento. A obra é considerada um dos três maiores trabalhos sobre óptica durante a Revolução Científica ao lado de Astronomiae Pars Optica de Kepler e o Traité de la Lumière de Huygens. As questões acrecentadas incluiam reflexões sobre a natureza da matéria, o papel de Deus no universo e a teoria corpuscular da luz.
