Rilegato. Etat : buono. Specchio Et Disciplina Militare del Sig.Francesco Di Valdes Maestro di Campo nel quale si tratta dell'officio del sargente maggiore. Nuovamente tradotto dalla lingua spagnuola nella italiana, da Gio. Paolo Gallucci salodiano, accademico veneto. Con vn dialogo dell'istesso intorno al formare vno squadrone di gente, et di terreno. Opera non solo necessaria ai sargenti maggiori & a qualunque commanda nella guerra, ma ad ogni soldato che desideri tosto salire a' sopremi gradi della militia, con suo sommo honore & vtile. Opera pubblicata in Venetia appresso Evangelista Duchino 1626. Volume in 8°, legatura in piena pelle XX sec. piatti riquadrati a secco, dorso con 4 nervi e nome dell autore in oro al dorso, bei capilettera xilografici nel volume, pag. 16n.n, 77, volume rifilato al taglio delle pagine superiore, ma ciò non comporta perdita di testo, presenti nella sezione a cura di Gallucci 3 xilografie schematiche che mostrano l uso dello gnomone, e come disporre le truppe. Complessivamente volume in buone condizioni generali. Edizione italiana sulla prima edita nel 1586, scritto in forma di dialogo, lo Specchio descrive i numerosi doveri del sergente maggiore al comando di un reggimento durante la marcia, lo squartamento e il combattimento. Vengono offerti anche molti consigli sulle tattiche e sulla disciplina militari. In un passaggio sulle eccezionali campagne militari, la figura di Hernán Cortés è elogiata per aver conquistato l'impero azteco e sconfitto Montezuma con meno di mille soldati. Valdés prestò servizio come sergente maggiore nel celebre "Terzo Vecchio di Lombardia", guidato da Sancho de Londoño, che si distinse nella campagna delle Fiandre (1567-1573) sotto il comando del duca d'Alba. Valdés fu gravemente ferito durante l'assedio di Mons nel 1572, perdendo un braccio. Questo lavoro è stato originariamente scritto come supplemento al "Discorso sulla via per ridurre la disciplina militare" di Londoño (1586) e le due opere furono inizialmente pubblicate insieme a Bruxelles nel 1586. La traduzione è opera dell astronomo salodiano Giovanni Paolo Gallucci (1538-1621) che vi aggiunge un suo scritto in forma di dialogo con il capitano G. Francesco Segala, nel quale tratta l uso dello gnomone a fini militari e come disporre le truppe.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. [OPTICS, MIRRORS AND VISION] FIRST EDITION thus. 4to. ff. (viii) 48. Roman letter, little Italic. Woodcut printer s device to t-p, 64 geometrical diagrams, decorated initials. Few ll. browned (poorly dried paper), faint water stain to last three gatherings in places, very minor marginal foxing. A good copy in contemporary vellum, modern bookplate to front pastedown, 12 May 1823 and casemark inked to fep, autograph Marcius(?) Meraius [Müller] to t-p, small not modern stamp to lower outer blank corner of last. In modern folding box. A good copy of the first edition of the first Italian translation of this fundamental optics manual a rare book (Riccardi I/1, 570), rarer according to Guglielmo Libri than the original work ( Catalogo , 1861, n.5656). Giovanni Paolo Gallucci (1538-c.1621) was a renowned mathematician and cosmographer, with interests in astrology; he was also a frequent translator of medical and scientific works, including I tre libri . This was a major optics manual written by the English Franciscan John Peckham (c.1230-92), student at Paris under St Bonaventure, and later professor at Oxford and archbishop of Canterbury. Inspired by the theories of Francis Bacon, whom he met either in Paris or Oxford, his Perspectiva communis (1279) was said to be so named as it was widely used. In the following centuries it was the most popular book on this subject as well as the text-book until as late as about 1600 , when Kepler published the first modern study of optics (ten Doesschate, Oxford , 334). Gallucci s vernacular translation made this fundamental yet concise work available to a broader audience. Perspectiva was an explanation of the Arab mathematician Alhazen s theories in 100 propositions, most followed by Gallucci s brief commentary and illustrated with diagrams. Alhazen explored refraction, double vision and the physical circumstances that give rise to visual perception; he was the first recorded scientist to mention refraction by curved surfaces (ten Doesschate, Oxford , 323). Gallucci s glosses feature examples taken from everyday life. For instance, Propositio IX illustrates why a fire appears bigger at night, and bigger from afar, when one cannot distinguish the individual flames. Gallucci compares this to what happens in church to a short-sighted person who looks at the many lit candles: without his spectacles on, the candles will appear like they are big, and touching one another; with his spectacles on, the individual flames will be discernible and the candles smaller. The long section on mirrors discusses the reflection of colours, the angles of incidence, transparency, the function of lead on glass mirrors, mirrors made of iron or diamond, spherical or plain or shaped like a column, and the appearance of images on broken mirrors. An outstanding, clear scientific milestone and the basis of key modern optics theories including Kepler s. BM STC It., p. 496; Riccardi I/1, 570. Not in Brunet. G. ten Doesschate, Oxford and the Revival of Optics in the Thirteenth Century , Vision Res. 1 (1962), 313-42.

Edition originale
[16], 478, [2] pp.First edition of Giovanni Paolo Gallucci s Theatrum mundi, considered the first modern celestial atlas. This 16th-century atlas was the first to use the Copernican coordinates for the locations of the stars. In six books, Gallucci provided his readers with a survey of terrestrial and celestial physics, beautifully illustrated with many woodcuts.Gallucci dedicated it to Pope Sixtus V, who had banned all astrological literature in 1586, trying to convince him to grant an astronomical observatory. Although Gallucci can t resist reading some astrological implications into the constellations, he tried to write a pure astronomical treatise. He discusses planets and their qualities, their radiation, the influence they exerted when in particular positions in the zodiac, and designates some zodiac signs masculine or feminine, commanding or obedient. He also added medical notes to his astronomical treatise, concerning the influence of constellations and the signs of the zodiac on the human body and therefore on human health. Gallucci argued for using astrology in medicine, while warning physicians to be thoughtful and not overly reliant on it.It nevertheless became very popular, probably in part because of the many illustrations.
