Softcover. Condition: Good. "Folio (290x196 mm.), contemporary vellum with manuscript title on spine, a good genuine copy. Two parts in one volume, each with title-page, and printer's device/vignette, 1st part has: pp. [12], 232 pp., with 2 folding tables, the woodcut plate at pp. 112/113 has been mounted (as part of) in the volvelle at p. 113; 2nd part has pp. 24, [2], with 1 double-page woodcut table and [3] leaves of plates, containing 18 engraved illustrations. Text illustrated throughout with almost 120 woodcut illustrations and diagrams. Collation: (*6), A-S6, T8; A-B6 [*1]. The unnumbered text leaf in the 2nd part, bound after p. 16, contains the 'Apparatus ad calculandas altit. singularum horarum ab occasu in utroque Tropico ad latit. 44'. Third, last and according to Cinti (Bibl. Galileiana) best edition of this influential astronomical work (first published in 1620), which showed a slight movement of the church towards the acceptation of recent astronomical discoveries by Galileo, Kepler and Brahe, although author's expressed support for Galileo's ideas never managed to pass the censorship of the inquisition. 'Biancani was perhaps the first to suggest, in this book, that comets may return' (Thorndike VII, p. 51). Riccardi I, 127; Biancani's Sphaera includes three appendices on various topics only loosely related to cosmology. The first, on geography, contains a discussion on the origin of mountains that influenced Bernhardus Varenius' Geographia generalis (1650). The second appendix, 'Apparatus ad mathematicarum studium', is an introduction to mathematical disciplines addressed to students. The third appendix to the book, 'Echometria', is devoted to acoustics. Carli-Favaro 83; Cinti 95 (third ed.).".

Add to basketThe two most important works of the famous Jesuit mathematician Giuseppe Biancani (1566-1624). Here the third edition of his Sphaera mundi, with the second edition of his Constructio instrumenti. The former presents a summary of the recent progress in astronomy from discoveries made with the telescope by famous scientists like Tycho Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Copernicus. Biancani never gave up the geocentric view of the universe, noting that Copernicus's heliocentric view was forbidden by the Church, but he ascribes tides to the influence of the moon, discusses the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, refers readers to the work of Tycho and Kepler, discusses sonic echoes, and even anticipated Halley in suggesting that comets might be periodic. The second work, devoted to the construction and use of sundials, includes precisely drafted diagrams and clear illustrations that allow one to construct a sundial exactly as Biancani did shortly before his 1624 death.With an 1891 owner's inscription and several leaves with library stamp (and a deaccession stamp). With 1 bifolium browned (and with a marginal tear repaired with tape) and another badly foxed, a stain on one leaf running into the text, but further in good condition, with only minor and mostly marginal stains and small tears. Binding rebacked and with some stains, but otherwise good.l De Backer & Sommervogel I, col. 1437; Houzeau-Lancaster 11445; ICCU CAGE018725; Riccardi I, col. 128 (Bianchi 2.4). With publisher's woodcut oyster and pearls device, 1 large folding diagram constructed from woodcuts and typeset rules with letterpress text, 1 woodcut diagram on an inserted half-page slip, numerous woodcut diagrams and other illustrations in text, woodcut head- and tailpieces and decorated initials, letterpress tables.
