Florence:: Gio: Filippo Cecchi 1691. 1691. Large 4to. xv CCLXIX 20 pp. Half-title title printed in red & black title vignette 75 copper engraved plates numerous woodcut initials and head & tailpieces index; prominent waterstains to corners lacks the portrait of Cosimo some copies have the portrait others do not. Later quarter vellum marbled boards black leather gilt-stamped spine label vellum tips. Very good. Second edition first printed in 1666/7. This marvelous work contains descriptions of experiments on air-pressure freezing of water an early account of Torricelli's invention of the barometer thermometer electrical and magnetic experiments measurements of the velocity of sound and light and experiments on heat and cold. It contains many large full-page engravings of experimental apparatus used to conduct these early experiments in natural physics. The engravings on pages iii vi viii and xiii show Torricelli's thermometer with a column of liquid and capsules of various density liquids that will either float of sink depending upon the surrounding temperature. Also known as a "termometro lento" slow thermometer this clever instrument is still marketed as a functioning curiosity today. / As the mechanism of the atmosphere exerting continuous pressure on the surface of the earth was unknown at that time the experiments using a barometer and bell jar pp. xxiv-xxxi seem rather naïve to us today. The members of the Academy couldn't determine why the mercury in the column didn't fall once the barometer was 'shielded' from the surrounding atmosphere. What they failed to realize is that the air pressure inside the bell jar remained the same as the outside since it had not been evacuated. Page lxxxxix depicts a curious experiment in which an organ pipe and a bellows to blow air through a pipe are encased in a vacuum chamber. The experiment demonstrated that when the chamber was evacuated the pipe no longer made sound even though the bellows were still forcing 'air' through the apparatus therefore showing that air at normal pressure was a necessary component to produce sound. / The Academy of Experiments was founded in Florence in 1657 and flourished for only ten years 1657-1667 and presents the first group effort at scientific investigation on the part of scientists including such original minds as Viviani Borelli Steno Redi Cassini and Torricelli. Its moving spirits were two of Galileo's most distinguished disciples Viviani and Torricelli. The necessary financial support came from the two Medicis the Grand Duke Ferdinand II of Tuscany and his brother Leopold; both of them had studied under Galilei. More than a decade before the formal institution of the Academy the two Medici brothers had started a laboratory well equipped with such scientific apparatus as was then obtainable. :: Wolf. / "This collection contains papers describing experiments on light sound and electricity.
