‎Fasti consolari dell'accademia Fiorentina [A Biographical History of the Florentine Academy]. - Containing Viviani's ""Racconto istorico della Vita di Galileo Galilei"" [Historical Account of the Life of Galileo Galilei]. - [THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY OF GALILEI]‎

‎Firenze, Nella Stamperia S.A.R. Per Gio: Gaetano, e Sant Franchi, 1717. 4to. Contemporary full vellum with handwritten title to spine. A bit of wear to capitals and a bit of minor soiling to boards, but a fine and handsome copy. Inner hinges a bit weak. Internally nice and clean, with just a bit of light minor occasional brownspotting. Large engraved pictorial vignette (heading: Accdemia Fiorentina) to title-page. Very nice woodcut vignettes and initials throughout. XXXI, (1), 676, (2, - Approvazioni) pp. [Viviani's Galilei-biography: pp. 397-431].‎

‎First edition of this extensive work of biographies of the people of the Florentine Academy. Among the dozens of biographies in the present work, we have the first printing of Viviani's seminal biography of Galilei, the first, and by far the most important biography of the great astronomer ever written. It is from this biography that we have most of the canonical stories and anecdotes about Galilei that keep being repeated and quoted - e.g. the legend of Galilei demonstrating to his students that Aristotle was wrong about speed of fall being related to the weight of an object by dropping balls of different mass off the leaning tower in Pisa"" the stories of how he came up with the idea of the pendulum after having watched a suspended lamp swing back and forth in the cathedral of Pisa when he was still a student there - and furthermore also how his first experiments with pendulums were carried out (by his son due to his own failing eyesight), etc., etc.Vincenzo Viviani (1622-1703) considered himself Galilei's last pupil and he spent most of his life reinstating the ideas of Galilei. He was merely 20 years old when his master died, and he was present at the bedside of the dying master as well as at the removal of his body. Thus, he was a direct witness to many of the events that took place in Galilei's life, and as such he is an indispensible biographer - especially seeing that no other person had attempted a biograhy of the great astronomer. After Galielei's death, Viviani was granted a pension by the King of France, in exchange for him writing a great, massive biography of his master. This planned massive work never came about, though, - probably due to both fear of retaliation, inabilty to reconcile geometry with the dogmas of faith, and finally a general fear of what such a biography could carry with it politically, etc. (he had apparantly also been warned of this). What we have left of the massive work is that which is present in Salvini's collection of biographies of the Florentine Academy. The work is written in the form of a letter addressed to Prince Leopoldo de'Medici, and it was not printed during Viviani's lifetime, but only in 1717, in the present book. Though not as extensive as had originally been planned, and though not printed as soon as originally planned, the work is still of the greatest importance to our knowledge about Galilei and forms the foundation for all later works on the astronomer. For the student of Galilei, it is absolutely indispensible. Being the first biography of Galilei, and the only one written by a contemporary, and one who knew him very well, the work plays a greater role in the study of the master's life than any other work.Viviani may not have been a faithful chronicler or a clear interpreter, but we will have to make do with that which he can tell us about Galilei. Though not all stories may be true, almost all of the most famous anecdotes and legends that we have about Galilei stem from the present work. After having described the various marvels, discoveries, etc. of Galilei's life, Viviani ends by describing the last hours of Galilei's life: ""il Mercoledì delli 8. de Gennaio del 1641. ab Inc. a ore 4. di notte in età di settantasette anni, mesi dieci, e giorni vent, con Filosofica, e Christiana constanza, rese l'Anima al suo Creatore, inviandosi questa a godere, e rimarar più d'apresso quelle eterne maraviglie, ch'ella con tanta avidità, & impazienza aveva procurator per mezzo di fragil artifizio d'avvicinare agli occhi di noi mortali."" (p. 423) [""On the night of Jan. 8, 1641, at about 4 o'clock at night at the age of 77 years, 10 months, and 20 days, with philosophical and Christian firmness he rendered up his soul to its Creator, sending it, as he liked to believe, to enjoy and to watch from a closer vantage point those eternal and immutable marvels which he, by means of a fragile device, had brought closer to our mortal eyes with such eagerness and impatience.""] - clearly showing the sense that Viviani had for Galilei's biblically inspired faith.The work furthermore contains several hitherto unpublished treatises on men from the famous scientific academy of Florence.‎

‎Hydrodynamische Probleme in Beziehung zur Theorie der Meeresströmungen.‎

‎(Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1878). Without wrappers. In ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von G. Wiedemann."", Neue Folge Bd. 3, No. 4. (Entire issue offered). Pp. 465-616 a. 1 folded lithographed plate. Zöppritz's paper: pp. 582-607. Clean and fine.‎

‎First appearance of a this pioneer paper on ocean circulation and currents.""K. Zöppritz presents a theoretical treatment of drif currents in ""Hydrodynamische Probleme in Beziehung zur Theorie der Meeresströmungen."" (the paper offered). His neglect of the Coriolis force, which he attempted to justify onthe basis of the slowness of movements of ocean currents, leads to the conclusion that the wind-driven flow of the ocean is in the direction of the wind independent of the depth in the ocean, with a speed which decreases with depth. The model is revised by Vagn Ekman after Fridtjof Nansen notes the defelction to the right of wind-induced sea ice-drift ans speculates that the cause derives from the earth's rotation.""(Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1878 E).‎

‎"AMONTONS, (GUILLAUME). - THE INVENTION OF THE AIR PRESSURE THERMOMETER.‎

‎Discours sur quelques proprietez de l'air, & le moyen d'en connoître la temperature dans tous les climats de la terre.‎

‎(Paris, Jean Boudot, 1704). 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from ""Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1702"". Pp. 155-174 a. textillustrations.‎

‎First appearance of this paper in which Amontons describes his invention, construction and function of his air thermomer. He thus improves on Gallileo's design by using air pressure instead of volume. The paper is the earliest study in this field, and Amontions concludes ""that unequal masses of air under equal weights invcrease equally the force of their spring for equal degrees of heat"" Fifteen years later Gay-lussac performed the same experiments with better technique and results - the Gay-Lussac laws.The paper ""contains Amontons' account of the first thermometer with which temperature was measured by the pressure of air.""(Magie ""A Source book in Physics"", pp. 128 ff.).""His first scientific production was a Hygrometer in 1687....The other was an air thermometer independent of the atmospheric pressure. Air occupied the top of one of the branches of a U-shaped tube, and by its dilation it pushed down one of the mercury columns so that the other end ofthe branch formed a barometric chamber.""(DSB I, p. 138 a).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1702 M).‎
