169834196Roma: Per Dom Ant Ercole 1698. RARE. An early printing of Galileo's great work his first published book. With a large folding woodcut plate of the compasso and with woodcut geometrical and mathematical illustrations on folding plates at the end of the text. 12mo bound in contemporary vellum manuscript calligraphic lettering to the spine panel. 202 xx 1 large folding plate and six additional folding plates pp. A crisp clean and very well preserved copy of this rare and highly important work by the great scientist astronomer physicist and mathematician. Some expected mellowing to the leaves. RARE. GALIEO’S FIRST SCIENTIFIC WORK. The COMPASSO GEOMETRICO is Galileo’s seminal work on the compass and it’s use in scientific and military enterprise and research. It was first published in 1606 privately printed by Galileo himself and is a book of legendary rarity.<br> The compass of proportion as developed by Galileo was the first important mechanical calculating device. Galileo's instrument was a general purpose mechanical calculator capable of solving any practical mathematical problem likely to arise--swiftly simply and withh out requiring previous mathematical education and sufficiently accurate for ordinary practical purposes. No previously known instrument had accomplished anything quite like that. <br> Something of the importance to society of such an invention as Galileo's can be grasped from the modern introduction of the electronic pocket calculator. It was the pocket calculator which suddenly made it possible for nearly everyone to deal effectively with almost any problem arising in practical matters by following rather simple instructions. The effects on society are already noticeable after only a few decades. A similar phenomenon occurred early in the 17th century with the rapid spread of Galileo's compass of proportion.

A rare survival in contemporary state crisp and an especially clean copy throughout the bindings quite handsome with only minimal wear or evidence of age. EXTREMELY SCARCE IN FULL CALF BINDINGS OF THE PERIOD. USUALLY ENCOUNTERED IN VELLUM BINDINGS THIS RARE EDITION OF GALILEO’S COMPLETE WORKS excepting the DIALOGO which was still on the Index of Prohibited Books at the time preserves a record of some of the most seminal discoveries in astronomy scientific methodology mathematics primary work in the study of motion as well as the most significant support of the Copernican theory of a heliocentric planetary system--in other words the embodiment of the "Galilean Revolution."<br> This issue of the OPERE contains an entire volume of Galileo’s writings which appear here for the first time having never before been printed. The long list of these first printings is given by Riccardi p. 520-521 and cited by Centi. Included are the GIORNATA SESTA DEI DISCORSI E DIMOSTRAZIONI.as well as other works such as the LETTERE IN PROPOSITO DI TROVARE LE LONGITUDINI the NOTE SOPRA IL NUNZIO SIDEREO. the LA OPERAZIONI ASTRONOMICHE and a profusion of other works.<br> Contained in this collection are many of the most important works in the history of science and physics works that would cost many many thousands of dollars to collect individually. Some among these are: RISPOSTA ALLE OPPOSITIONI Galileo’s work on virtual velocity; DISCORSO AL SERENISSIMO DON COSIMO II on floating bodies and expanding greatly on the work of Archimedes; The DIFESA his first work of Astronomy; LE OPERATIONI DEL COMPASSO GEOMETRICO E MILITARE the seminal work on the compass and it’s use in scientific and military enterprise.<br> In 1610 Galileo published his SIDEREUS NUNCIUS included here in which he described the construction of his telescope and his observations using the new instrument. His discoveries did not prove that Copernicus's heliocentric theory was correct but they did show that geocentric philosophy of Aristotle and the geocentric system proposed by Ptolemy were incorrect providing strong evidence for the heliocentric theory--an implausible theory which had largely been ignored for sixty years after Copernicus's death. His new support for the Copernican system reopened the controversy and in 1615 he was officially silenced as regards the truth of astronomy. " Astronomy and the science of motion rightly understood says Galileo are hand in glove. There is no need to fear that the earth's rotation will cause it to fly to pieces" PMM. Galileo pioneered the study of motion and its mathematical analysis a field which was taken up by Decartes and Huygens and culminated in the "massive achievements of Newton in dynamics and gravitational astronomy".<br> "Galileo more than any other man had introduced the change in our manner of thinking that broke with ancient and led on to modern science. Contributions had also been made by Copernicus by Vesalius by Harvey by Tycho and by Kepler and others. The share of Galileo however is overwhelming.It was more than an addition to knowledge. It was more even than an alteration in the conception of the structure of the universe. It was rather a change in mood as to the kind of knowledge that was to be sought. It partook of the nature of a philosophical crisis" Singer A HISTORY OF SCIENTIFIC IDEAS p. 249. The influence of the new mood affected ideas regarding the mechanical world the extension of the senses the idea of the universe as mathematical and boundless and indeed altered the whole world of science and religion.<br><br>Gamba 227; Centi 170; Riccardi I 520-521; Carli-Favaro 431.
