Very scarce first separate printings of three important papers on radium by Ernest Rutherford, the "father of nuclear physics". – Author, Contents: New Zealand-born British nuclear physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) already had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry when he moved from McGill University in Montreal to Victoria University of Manchester. To be able to continue his research he was particularly keen to obtain larger quantities of radium. On the other hand in 1905 the Austrian government, then a major player in international efforts to explore radioactivity, had "set up a radium production plant, and two years later it embargoed all exports of uranium ore and products in an attempt to monopolise the market. This continued until about 1913, when other sources could be exploited, for example from Cornwall, Portugal and Colorado." (...) "Thus, when Rutherford moved to Manchester in 1907 Austria was the only place to obtain significant quantities of radium." (Todd) To promote research with the radium at hand the Austrian Academy of Science with the help of investor Karl Kupelwieser, the uncle of Ludwig Wittgenstein, had set up a »Radium-Kommission«, which in 1910 became the famous Vienna Institute for Radium Research (Institut für Radiumforschung). Thanks to his personal contacts to Austrian Chemist Otto Brill Rutherford could organise a considerable quantity of radium in early February 1908 and immediately started experiments to obtain emanation in his laboratory until May 1908. – The documented results of Rutherford's experiments then were first printed simultaneously in the English original as a journal issue (Phil. Mag., vol. 6), as well as in present German translation, this being the first separate printing. The first offprint of the English version was published in August 1908. According to Chadwick et al. the follow up paper from 1911 (»II. Die Umwandlungsgeschwindigkeit«) was first published in German translation first, as present separate printing by the Austrian Academy, as this is true for the 3rd paper of this lot (see enclosed). – ENCLOSED: Ernest Rutherford and Bertram B.

"Rarissima prima edizione" in prima tiratura di questa interessante dissertazione del Boscovich sulle lenti telescopiche e l'ottica newtoniana. Nel titolo non compare il nome di Boscovich, ma quello di un suo studente, Luigi Leonori. Nello stesso anno verranno pubblicate le altre copie dal titolo modificato in: “De lentibus et telescopiis dioptricis dissertatio auctore P. Rogerio Josepho Boscovich S.J..”. Romae, 1755. Cfr. Backer Sommervogel, tomo I, col. 1838 - Bibliotheca Mechanica, p. 45: “In "De lentibus" Boscovich reveals himself to be a skillful experimentor, establishing guidelines for achieving the optimal refraction of lenses when viewing celestial bodies” - Riccardi I, 178: "Importante memoria" - “The Honeyman Collection”,I,425 - Diz. Biograf. Ital.,XIII, p. 224. “Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich, astronomo, geodeta, fisico, matematico (Ragusa di Dalmazia 1711 - Milano 1787), gesuita, fu consulente di alta ed apprezzata competenza in svariate questioni tecniche (dalla stabilità della cupola di S. Pietro alla bonifica delle paludi pontine, ecc.).. Sostenitore di una concezione crepuscolare della materia, è ricordato come uno dei precursori della moderna fisica atomica.. Viaggiò per tutta Europa, insegnò all’università di Pavia (1764) e alle Scuole Palatine di Milano (1768).. Dopo essere passato a Venezia, alla soppressione della Compagnia di Gesù (1773) si rifugiò in Francia (fu Direttore d’ottica della Marina francese), ritornando in Italia nel 1783”. Così Diz.

Grande tavola incisa in rame, mm. 470x595 alla battuta (compresi margini bianchi mm. 540x625) impreziosita da coloritura coeva all'acquerello. Considerata una fra le tavole olandesi più belle, di argomento astronomico. Incise le costellazioni settentrionali e gli emisferi meridionali in una sola proiezione. Le costellazioni sono raffigurate con i personaggi della mitologia classica, rappresentati come se guardassero la terra dall'alto, peraltro, con le loro schiene girate. Al margine inf. è presente una tabella di misurazioni organizzata in base ai segni zodiacali. Magnifica, antichi restauri al verso, nel punto di piega e una vecchia giunta in carta al margine inf. Molto rara.
