[20] + 154 + [6] pp., engraved vignette on title page, with a full page engraving with Porta's portrait signed I. [Iacobus] Laurus and with over 40 woodcut illustrations in text representing a.o. distilling apparatus, original first 1608-edition, nice recent binding in half leather and marbled boards in fine condition, gilt lettering on spine, engraved capitals in text, text clean and bright with only some occasional foxing, 22cm., most text is in Latin, very good condition, [This is a rare first edition of Porta's work on distillation, in which he offers a compilation of any knowledge available at that time regarding experiments and observations of distillation, its methods, apparatus and applications such as the preparation of perfumes and essential oils. It includes beautiful and quite bizarre woodcut illustrations of apparatus and stills resembling animals. Cfr. Duveen (481) who describes this work "as rare as it is beautiful". Porta (1535-1618) was an Italian philosopher, scientist and alchemist, and was/is often referred to as "professor of secrets". The engraved portrait of Porta included in this work is surrounded by various figures and gives a good impression of his scientific interests: distillation, astrology, chemistry, alchemy, optics, magnetism, etc. Content of this book: Liber I: Primordia pandit distillationis eiusq[ue], causas & instrumenta (pp.1-45), II: De odoratis Aquis eliciendis (pp.46-67), III: In quo de Oleorum tractatur (pp.68-87), IV: De distillatione oleorum exocitarum plantarum (pp.88-94), V: De refinis distillandis (pp.95-106), VI: De Oleo ex Lignis extrahendo (pp.107-112), VII: De Aquis validis extrahendis (pp.113-125), VIII: Quo de extrahendis rerum virtutibus varia experimenta traduntur (pp.126-144), IX: Oleorum extractio cum praelo (pp.145-154), + 6pp. of index and colophon], V96189

In-4°; pp. (12), 85, (3), frontespizio stampato in rosso e nero. Legatura in cartonato coevo. Esemplare di dedica, inviato al chimico Giovan Battista Mazzacurati. Prima edizione rara. Opera di notevole importanza per la scoperta dei sali d'argento come sostanze fotosensibili, studio scientifico che aprì la strada alla nascita della fotografia. In questo studio, fondamentale per la storia della luminescenza, Beccari prende in rassegna una quantità straordinaria di sostanze luminescenti, organiche e inorganiche, che fu il primo a sottoporre a osservazione al fine di classificarli, fornendo un moderno metodo di classificazione della luminescenza secondo il sistema dell'eccitazione. I suoi esperimenti che approfondirono la conoscenza circa i fosfori, che godono della facoltà di diventare luminosi dopo l'esposizione al sole, e i loro effetti sul cloruro d'argento, contribuirono in maniera sostanziale allo sviluppo della tecnica dell'impressione fotografica. I materiali fosforescenti vengono infine considerati corpi elettrici, secondo un'associazione derivante dal nascente interesse per l'elettricità. Jacopo Bartolomeo Beccari (1682-1766) fu il primo professore ad avere una cattedra di chimica in Italia, a Bologna, ed è considerato a tutt’oggi il fondatore della moderna chimica italiana. È anche noto per la sua scoperta del glutine nei cereali. (JACOPO BARTOLOMEO BECCARI), De quamplurimis phosphoris nunc primum detectis commentarius, Bologna, Laelius a Vulpe, 1744 In-4 °; pp. (12), 85, (3), title page printed in red and black. Contemporary hardcover binding. Copy with dedication sent to the chemist Giovan Battista Mazzacurati. Rare first edition. Work of considerable importance for the discovery of silver salts as photosensitive substances, a scientific study that paved the way for the birth of photography. In this study, fundamental for the history of luminescence, Beccari reviews an extraordinary quantity of luminescent substances, organic and inorganic, which he was the first to put under observation in order to classify them, providing a modern method of classification of luminescence according to the excited state of a system. His experiments which deepened the knowledge about phosphors, which have the ability to become luminous after exposure to the sun, and their effects on silver chloride, contributed substantially to the development of the photographic impression technique. Finally, phosphorescent materials are considered electrical bodies, according to an association deriving from the rising interest in electricity. Jacopo Bartolomeo Beccari (1682-1766) was the first professor to have a chair of chemistry in Italy, in Bologna, and is still considered the founder of modern Italian chemistry. He is also known for his discovery of gluten in corn. Only 500 copies printed. Canterzani, p. 123, n. 14:"Di questa non comune edizione furono impressi 500 esemplari". E.

3 vol. dont 1 vol. in-4 et deux vol. petit in-4 reliés demi-chagrin rouge, dos à 5 nerfs dorés, contenant les épreuves corrigées ou avant impression des sections suivantes figurant dans le "Traité de Chimie Minérale" publié chez Masson & Cie de 1904 à 1906 : Vol. I : Soufre - Mercure ; Vol. II : Fer - Manganèse - Molybdène - Tungstène - Chrome - Plomb - Outremers - Céramique ; Vol. III : Bismuth - Vanadium - Noibium - Cantale - Bore - Uranium - Thallium - Or - Métaux du Platine Exceptionnel ensemble d'épreuves en partie corrigées par Henri Moissan, premier français Prix Nobel de Chimie, en 1906 (5 ans avant Marie Curie). Directeur de la publication du "Traité de Chimie Minérale", publié chez Masson vers 1906, Henri Moissan accorde le "bon à mettre en pages" enrichi de ses dernières corrections manuscrites sur diverses épreuves des textes rédigées par les nombreux collaborateurs à ce monumental traité. Le premier volume recueille les extraits du traité relatif au Soufre (extraits publiés, sans correction manuscrite) et les épreuves (imprimés uniquement au recto) du très long développement consacré au Mercure, corrigées par l'auteur et abondamment annotées par Henri Moissan. A propos des propriétés chimiques du mercure, il insère par exemplaire ce commentaire manuscrit "Le fluor l'attaque à la température ordinaire. Lorsque ce gaz se dégage bulle à bulle à travers une masse de mercure de faible épaisseur, on voit nettement se former à la surface du métal une couche jaune de flurorure de mercure anhydre". Le second volume recueille les épreuves avant ou après mise en page relatives aux éléments suivants : Fer - Manganèse - Molybdène - Tungstène - Chrome - Plomb - Outremers - Céramique, avec quelques corrections des auteurs et de rares annotations d'Henri Moissan, notamment à propos des propriétés chimiques du molybdène. Le troisième volume recueille les épreuves avant ou après mise en page relatives aux éléments suivants : Bismuth - Vanadium - Noibium - Cantale - Bore - Uranium - Thallium - Or - Métaux du Platine. Ensemble unique, en bel état, d'une partie des épreuves du Traité de Chimie Minérale, annoté notamment par Henri Moissan (1852 - 1907), lauréat du Prix Nobel de Chimie 1906 pour ses travaux sur le fluor et pour le développement du four à arc électrique inventé par William Siemens. Le Traité de Chimie Minérale fut la dernière contribution d'importance d'Henri Moissan, qui devait décéder brutalement le 20 février 1907, à 54 ans, peu de temps après son retour de Stockholm où il venait de recevoir son Prix Nobel.
