Cfr. Riccardi,I, pp. 522-523 che riporta lunghe annotazioni e precisa: ".. questa edizione risulta molto piu' completa ed ordinata delle due precedenti.." - Cinti “Biblioteca Galileiana”,176 - Carli Favaro,478 - Gamba,484: “Questa edizione fu diretta ed illustrata con Note dall’astronomo abate Giuseppe Toaldo.. In quei primi tre Volumi si è aggiunto di più il "Trattato della Sfera", quello di "Misurar con la vista", e diverse "Lettere"; quasi tutto ricavato dalla Libreria de’ pp. Somaschi in Santa Maria della Salute a Venezia..”. Rare e lieviss. fioriture margin., ma certamente esemplare ben conservato.
Particularly rare, early anastatic reprint from the original separate edition of Einstein's »General Theory of Relativity«, using the original cover. - Edition: The „original edition“ (Weil) of this classic paper was published in 1916 as vol. 49 from »Annalen der Physik«. According to Weil present reprint, which uses the original cover, is of better printing quality than others. - Condition: Cover loose at front hinge, margins with some small faults, front cover with shelf wear, paper heavily time-stained, otherwise clean copy. - Rarity: ABPC (1973ff.) and /APO (1988ff.) record 4 copies of this edition at auction (2015, 2014, 2013, 2006). - Reference: BRL 78; Carter-Muir 408; Norman 696; Schilpp-Shields 86; Weil 80a

1820ABC_45977England 1820. Late 18th-century half calf marbled sides. 4to. Manuscript volume of notes on practical astronomy and mathematics in English written in ink on Dutch paper with a Maid of Dordrecht watermark without countermark. The leaves are numbered from the front 101 and 26 leaves of text and diagrams 39 blank leaves in the middle last 26 leaves in reverse order illustrated with several astronomical and mathematical diagrams including one of a solar system. A fascinating manual of astronomy written in English particularly as it relates to the form of the motions of the heavens dating from the period 1780-1825 probably from the beginning of that range. It is written in a single hand with the exception of one page though with some variations indicating that different parts of the MS were written at different times. The MS could have been prepared for personal use or as part of public tuition probably the former. The writer summarizes the subject matter of the manual on the first leaf: Astronomy is that part of Natural Philosophy which treats of the Phenomena of the heavenly Bodies. It is divided into 2 Parts Physical and Plain: by the latter we discover their Motions from the Apparent Motions; by the former the Causes of these real Motions. The manuscript comprises three parts with distinct subject matter. The first part covers the motion of the earth around the sun and its rotation about its axis with the consequences for the apparent motions of the sun and the heavens; with the moon and its phases and motion; and with lunar and solar eclipses. There are several references to John Keills An introduction to the true astronomy London 1721 or later editions. The second part principally discusses section 11 of Newtons Principia 1713 or later editions in particular as it relates to the motion of the moon. This part ends with a short section on algebra particularly polynomials which seems to have been composed more haphazardly than the remainder of the text. The third part which runs backwards starting from the end of the notebook gives demonstrations of various results in Book I of Principia notably the theorem that the orbits of the bodies in the solar system do not precess if and only if the central attractive force operating on them is exactly inverse-square. This is an important result not only for Newtons system of universal gravitation but also for the observational astronomy of the solar system which is discussed in the opening section of the book. Between the end of the second part and that of the third there are a few blank leaves and others have been torn out but the text appears to be complete.The manuscript appears to work through at least two different texts beginning with Keills on astronomy. There is a section devoted to what is called the precession of the equinoxes the westward drift of the points where the ecliptic and equator intersect due to the precession of the earths axis - the author notes that Sir Isaac Newton has demonstrated that it arises from the broad spheroidal figure of the earth. The author then turns to sunspots and the arguments for and against their being on the surface of the sun. Then comes a long discussion of the planets: the planes and periods of their orbits phases conjunctions retrograde motions apparent brightness and their distances from the sun. The second and third parts are notably more mathematical in nature than the first.The third part of the manuscript consists of a reading of various sections of Newtons Principia 1713 or later editions. Again it appears to work through and in some cases repeat Newtons proofs rather than representing a translation or paraphrase. It is not based on Mottes translation nor does it correspond with Thorps partial translation and edition. It does not appear to be based on any other intermediary between Newton and the writer such as Pemberton but to rely on Newtons Latin original here rendered in places pretty exactly into English. It renders propositions 43 to 59 of section 9 of book 1 of the Principia which concern the motion of bodies in moveable orbits and the motion of the apsides. This topic remains of considerable interest to astronomers and historians of astronomy. The manuscript hand remains fairly constant throughout the book: some variations more likely indicate the same writer at a different times or with a different pen than a different writer. The manuscript hand and paper together date the manuscript fairly securely to the period 1750-1825. If our hypothesis that the author used Thorps edition of Principia is correct that would date the manuscript no earlier than 1777. The section on the planets in the first part does not mention Uranus Georgium sidus discovered by William Herschel in 1781. Since the anonymous author seems to have followed astronomical discoveries closely this suggests a date no later than 1781. We therefore tentatively date the composition ca. 1777/81.We are indebted to Scott Mandelbrote for his assistance with the description of this notebook.Binding slightly rubbed. A couple pages have a tear at the foot and others are stained. Otherwise in very good condition. unknown

First print run (with no date printed on title) of the first separate edition (the 1st print was published as the concluding section of the author's »Protomathesis« in 1532) of this early, important and profusely illustrated account on sundials, clepsydrae and other ancient time-keeping instrument including diptychs, rings, multi-faceted and pillar dials, quadrants, mariner's astrolobes, as well as the mathematical or astronomical principles governing their use and design. The woodcuts by „G. Bordei“ (as mentioned in the preface) are elaborate adaptions of or newly cut versions taken from the blocks of those depicted in the »Protomathesis«. Oronce Finé (1494-1555), a famous French scholar and chair of mathematics at the Collège Royal since 1531, had also constructed an ivory sundial in the form of a ship, nowadays housed by the Milan Museo Poldi Pezzoli. Several woodcuts of the book refer to this construction. - Present copy was separated of a Sammelband and is protected with mould paper wrappers. Top edge of block with tighter cut, no text loss however, p. 202 with tight cut front edge, some pages foxy and stained, spine in parts loose, otherwise well preserved copy indeed. - Particularly hard to find with the big (37,5:29 cm) folded diagram usually bound in at the end of the volume. - Adams F 473 (copy without folded diagram); Fairfax-Murray 165; Harvard 232; Houzeau-L. 11351; Mortimer I, 232; Poggendorf I, 747ff.

Comprising some 36 lessons with additional information about physics and astronomy at the end likely delivered to his students at the college of Brera. Oriani studied astronomy under Joseph Louis Lagrange and was ordained a priest in 1776.
