However, it has recently been attributed to John Maxwell who was a property manager in Scotland for Sir William Pulteney and an amateur violinist. "In the 'Essay upon Tune' Maxwell presented his discovery to the public, namely, a division of the octave into forty-four distant pitches with the mechanism to enable an organ to produce these pitches."?Kassler.

1790In-4°; 2 parti in 2 volumi rilegati in mezza pelle coeva con tassello e titolo in oro al dorso (del primo vol. lievemente difettosa); tagli spruzzati. Pp. 321, (1), 3 tavole f.t. a piena pagina incise su rame (una raffigura il vulcano Pambamarca nella zona di Quito in Ecuador), 2 grandi tavole ripiegate con tabelle; Pp. 400, 4 tavole a piena pagina incise su rame di cui una raffigura il, vulcano di Pichincha vicino Quito, e l’altra il vulcano Chimborazo sempre in Ecuador; 2 grandi tavole ripiegate con tabelle. Al verso dei frontespizi piccoli timbri di possesso. Interessante e poco nota opera di fisica sperimentale e sienze naturali del gesuita spagnolo Francesco Perez (1720-1807 Bologna), matematico e missionario in Ecuador, Quito, fino alla espulsione dei gesuiti dai domini spagnoli (1767); in Italia si dedicò alla scrittura di opere scientifiche che vennero pubblicate dopo la soppressione della Compagnia nel 1773. Il suo nome è legato anche all’invenzione di strumenti scientifici, tra cui uno per misurare gli angoli. Oggetto del trattato il Barometro, “istrumento in grado eminente per condurre l’intelletto alla cognizione dell’elemento dell’aria”, e il Termometro, strumenti dei quali si ricordano gli inventori, i metodi costruttivi, le evoluzioni tecniche; si esaminano le differenze tra aria e atmosfera, “l’elasticità” della materia eterea, l’atmosfera equinoziale dell’America, specialmente delle montagne e vulcani dell’Ecuador (Caraburo, Oyambaro, Pichincha Pambamarca ecc.) dove l’atmosfera fu misurata con l’aerometro, come ampiamente si descrive nella seconda parte. Un capitolo, in fine, è dedicato all’atmosfera europea.

1834ref. 5227Philadelphia 1834. Not bound. Very good; some old folds. Folio sheet folded as 4 pp.; last page is a blank. The estate inventory of Benjamin Stancliff who was a maker of optical philosophical and mathematical instruments in Philadelphia from the late 18th to early 19th century. The inventory lists the tools supplies and instruments in his estate and what they sold for as well as an accounting for the total. Such inventories are exceptional and rare given the handful of people engaged in this trade. It offers a unique insight into the mode and manner of production and commerce in scientific instruments in colonial America. See Skerritt Catalog of the Charles E.

FIRST EDITION. 250 x 180 mm. 9 7/8 x 7 1/4". 8 p.l. 170 pp. Contemporary stiff vellum raised bands burgundy morocco label lettered in gilt all edges sprinkled. Engraved title page frontispiece and 151 PLATES DEPICTING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. Front pastedown with bookplates of John Smith Esquire Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Cia Fornaroli and David R. Godine. Cicognara 1596 citing 148 plates; Brunet I 1086 citing 136 plates; Graesse I 480. A long thin red ruled line to upper cover a few small cuts at edge of front board O1 with insignificant hole trivial loss of text a few light stains isolated faint browning to plates but quite AN EXCELLENT COPY--the leaves extremely fresh and clean and the binding entirely sound and perfectly inoffensive. This is an excellent copy of a sumptuously illustrated Baroque compendium of musical instruments which has been owned by three eminent collectors. A student of Athanasias Kircher the Jesuit scholar Filippo Bonanni also Buonanni 1638-1723 produced works on wide-ranging subjects including anatomy shell-collecting and porcelain lacquer. "Gabinetto Armonico" attempts to catalogue all known musical instruments including a broad range of horns as well as other wind percussion stringed and keyboard instruments not infrequently exotic in appearance and operation from all regions including Florida and the world of Islam. Many of the instruments included here were held in the collection of the Jesuit Collegio Romano where Bonanni was teaching at the time he composed the book; other information was gleaned from various authors and ethnographical reports. The book is organized based on the use for which the music is intended e.g. for festivals funerals battle worship hunting and even navigation. The very attractive illustrations by Flemish-born painter and publisher Arnold van Westerhout 1651-1725 depict the instruments in the hands of their players in their native costumes and environs. While some of the depictions of the ancient and foreign musicians are fanciful the majority of these engravings provide genuine invaluable information on music and musical instruments up to the early 18th century. The musicians are as interesting as the instruments dressed in keeping with the original homeland of the instrument ranging from King David with his harp to fashionable rococo ladies at the keyboards of spinet and cimbalo. Our copy is from the library of Italian ballerina Cia Fornaroli 1888-1954 and her husband Walter Toscanini 1898-1971 a bookseller and choreographer. The couple whose distinguished careers were split between New York and Italy assembled a large collection of works documenting the history of dance in Italy from the Renaissance until the 20th century. The bulk of their library now resides in the Jerome Robbins Dance Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Our next notable owners were Arthur 1922-2012 and Charlotte Vershbow 1924-2000 who together built a large collection of prints illuminated manuscripts and printed books. Their collection sold at Christie's New York in a series of four auctions in 2013 the present volume was lot 771. Most recently our copy belonged to American publisher David R. Godine who trained as a printer at Leonard Baskin's Gehenna Press before founding his own publishing firm in 1970. His interest in the art of the book led him to build an extensive library of early printed books with a particular focus on antiquarian illustrated works. Two portions of his collection sold for more than $950000 at Bonham's New York in May 2026. The book is not particularly rare at auction but copies in desirable condition even without the distinguished provenance seen here command substantial prices.
