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.
