First separate printing in the original wrappers of this 2nd and last supplement of a „fundamental paper on nuclear fission which eventually lead to the creation of the atomic bomb.“ (Dibner) – Contents, Edition: The German radio and nuclear chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Straßmann "bombarding uranium with neutrons (as indicated by Fermi in the mid-1930s), found that treating the bombarded uranium with barium resulted in some strongly radioactive material. By late 1938 they suspected that uranium fission had occurred.“ These epochal findings had been presented by Hahn and Straßmann to the Prussian Academy on May 25th 1939. Their paper indicates in detail „fission of the uranium nucleus into two parts of about equal size with the release of much energy.“ – If the 1st paper from 1939 („Über das Zerplatzen des Urankernes durch langsame Neutronen.“) contains the first comprehensive description of this core nuclear achievement, the following two corresponding papers published by Hahn and Straßmann with support by chemist Hans Götte during the Second World War in 1942 („Einiges über die experimentelle Entwirrung der bei der Spaltung des Urans auftretenden Elemente und Atomarten.“) and the present of 1944 describe experiments to identify the fission fragments. – Alongside the aforementioned an Austrian woman scientist of Jewish descent, Lise Meitner, colleague of the authors at the Berlin Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institute of Chemistry for decades, also contributed heavily to their findings. Meitner had to flee Nazi Germany in 1938 but continued her research in exile, e.g. in Copenhagen, where she worked in the laboratory of Niels Bohr. Through Bohr and Fermi this nuclear energy was to become a reality in the atomic pile and the bomb blasts of 1945 as well as in the nuclear power stations of the following decades. Hahn received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944, and together with Meitner and Strassmann, the Fermi award in 1966.“ (All quotes Dibner). - Condition: Front cover with margins of former water stains, otherwise very well preserved copy indeed. - Reference: Dibner, Heralds of Science, 168; Norman 963 (paper 1 only); Poggendorff VIIa/2, 355; Scheld 191.

(frontespizio, dedica, prefazione e proemio), 62 cc.num., con numerose illustrazioni inc. su legno nel t., di carattere astronomico-astrologico; marca tipografica xilografata al frontespizio (una sirena). "Mancano": la c. 63 (di Indice) e l’ultima carta bianca con al recto la stessa marca tipografica del frontespizio. Cfr. Riccardi, I, 272/273: “Credo che la seconda parte non sia stata pubblicata” - Adams,II,1119, p 77 (per la I ediz., 1558) - Cantamessa, “Astrologia”,III,6106 (in nota alla I ediz.): “L’opera rappresenta sostanzialmente un seguito "De la sfera del mondo. De le stelle fisse". Il taglio dell’opera è prevalentemente astronomico, anche se, come ne "La sfera", Piccolomini chiama "astrologi" gli astronomi, a conferma ennesima della commmistione concettuale ed espressiva tra astronomia e astrologia nel XVI secolo. Colloca cioè in uno stesso contesto chi osservava e misurava il cielo e chi da questo traeva predizioni e previsioni. Così Piccolomini tratta fra l’altro anche degli aspetti fra i pianeti (dalla carta 59) e riproduce quelli classici dell’astrologia, accennando anche a quelli benigni e a quelli maligni, e dunque, così scrivendo, miscela due discipline diverse...”. Qualche lieve alone solo margin. ma certamente un buon esemplare.
pp. 14, 16, 14, cb, 12, 20, 1 tav. Le cinque “note” che compongono questo scritto sono di importanza capitale per la storia dell’astronomia: oltre a ipotizzare la lentezza di rotazione di Venere, Schiaparelli conclude che il pianeta sia avvolto costantemente da una coltre di nubi: è il primo scienziato a formulare quest’ipotesi nella storia dell’astronomia, ipotesi che – insieme ad altre – sarà destinata a resistere fino ai nostri giorni. La serie è estratta manualmente dai volumi dei “Rendiconti” del Reale Istituto lombardo di scienze e lettere. Compresa la tavola. In these five “note”, Schiaparelli reports his discoveries about the slow rotation of Venus, and for the first time makes the hypotesis on the blanket of clouds surrounding the planet, that is considered his discovery. The serie is materially taken from the volumes of the “Rendiconti del Reale istituto lombardo di scienze e lettere”, including the plate.
