He decided that the effect was electrical and that its ends was carrying charges of opposite sign much as soft iron is magnetized by a lodestone. This paper is a forerunner of his "Tentamen Theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi" - published 1759 and one of the most original and important books in the history of electricity. It is the first reasoned fruitful exposition of electrical phenomena based on action-at-a-distance."Aepinus’ first reseraches on the thermoelectric properties of this stone Tourmalin which was then of extreme rarity were fundamental. He recognized the electrical nature of the attractive power of a warmed tourmaline and attempted not altogether successfully to reduce its apparent capriciousness to rule. He was particularly struck by the formal similarity between the tourmaline and the magnet in regard to polarity which inspired him to reconsider the possibility then occasionally discussed that electricity and magnetism were basically analogous. This thought became the This thought became the theme for his masterwork Tentamen theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi 1759."DSB."Aepinus is known in the history of electricity for his attempt to develop the one fluid theory of Franklin. His theory was for a while generally adopted but was gradually displaced by the two fluid theory in consequence chiefly of the necessity of ascribing to uncharged matter repulsions of the same force as those which were ascribed to electrical charges. His theory exhibits interesting similarities to the present theory of the constitution of matter"Magie "A Source Book in Physics" pp.406-8.Ronalds p. 4. </em> unknown
In-24 gr. (mm. 128x75), p. pergamena coeva, titolo ms. al dorso, tagli rossi, 10 cc.nn., 201 pp. num., 3 cc.nn., compresa la bella antiporta allegorica inc. in rame. Importante opera dell’erudito gesuita tedesco (1601-1680), dedicata ai fenomeni magnetici rilevati in natura. "Seconda edizione" (la prima in-4 fu pubblicata a Roma, lo stesso anno), rara. Cfr. Brunet,III,667 - Caillet,II,5781: “Kircher tente de démontrer un grand nombre de phénomènes par le Magnétisme” - De Backer,I, p. 429: “L’auteur assure que la nature n’a aucun secret que ne puisse pénétrer l’observateur attentif, et pose en principe que l’attraction et la répulsion peuvent servir à expliquer les phénomènes les plus obscurs de la physique. Il explique, d’après cette hypothèse, la production des minéraux, des pierres précieuses, des plantes, et les affections et les antipathies qu’on remarque dans les animaux”. Pagine ingiallite per la qualità della carta, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.

Il manoscritto ? stato pubblicato nel 1856 dalla Tipografia Mazzoleni di Bergamo, in due volumi, l?unico esemplare di questa pubblicazione ? stata rinvenuta nella Biblioteca Universitaria di Pavia censito nel Sistema Bibliotecario Nazionale, che scioglie anche la sigla con il nome dell?autore: Monicelli Antonio.Ottimo e decisamente interessante questo manoscritto autografo sulla teoria del mesmerismo che nacque e si svilupp? tra la fine del secolo XVIII e l?inizio del secolo XX, dopo le pubblicazioni delle teorie di Franz Anton Mesmer. Questo esemplare di questa rarissima opera acquista un aspetto pi? interessante in quanto autografo dello stesso autore, nonch? per la nobile provenienza.
