"Marca tipografica frontespizio e numerosi diagrammi xilografici nel testo. 4 p.l., 78 pp., 1 carta di errata. Piccolo 4to, pergamena coeva. Venezia: T. Baglionus, 1611. Frontespizio con un piccolo restauro. Prima edizione di questa rara e importante opera nella storia dell'ottica e del telescopio; ha avuto una grande influenza sulle teorie ottiche di Newton ed è di grande interesse galileiano. De radiis visus et lucis si occupa di lenti, telescopi e arcobaleno. De Dominis sapeva come la luce si rifrangeva nel suo passaggio da un mezzo all'altro. Dopo l'invenzione del telescopio De Dominis ha aggiunto la sua spiegazione teorica al suo lavoro. La sua spiegazione non fu del tutto soddisfacente, tuttavia, perché la sua conoscenza della legge di rifrazione era incompleta. De Dominis descrive in modo particolareggiato l'effetto sull'angolo di vista di una lente di maggiore curvatura o di maggiore distanza tra la lente e l'oggetto che si sta osservando. Con la stessa accuratezza ha esaminato le combinazioni di lenti, in particolare la combinazione di un oggetto di vetro convesso e di un oculare concavo. Questo lavoro ha portato alla sua scoperta delle condizioni in cui è possibile l'ingrandimento di un'immagine. ""- DSB, IV, p. 158. Nella prefazione, Giovanni Bartoli, che fu ambasciatore della Toscana a Venezia e uno dei primi sostenitori delle scoperte di Galileo, descrive il cannocchiale di nuova invenzione (attribuendo la sua invenzione a Galileo) e le scoperte rese possibili da questo strumento. De Dominis fornisce anche un resoconto del cannocchiale (pp. 34-43) e suggerisce addirittura i tiranti, entrati in uso molto più tardi . Questo libro contiene anche la famosa teoria dell'arcobaleno di De Dominis che influenzò molto Newton. Nel 1704, Newton scrisse nel suo Optics: ""Questa rifrazione è stata recentemente scoperta e spiegata più completamente dal famoso Arcivescovo Antonius de Dominis di Spalato, nel suo libro De Radiis Visus et Lucis, pubblicato dall'amico Bartolus a Venezia, nell'anno 1611, e scritto sopra 20 anni prima. Perché vi insegna come l'arco interno è realizzato da gocce di pioggia rotonde da due rifrazioni della luce solare. ""Per una discussione approfondita sulla spiegazione dell'arcobaleno di De Dominis, vedere Boyer, The Rainbow (pp. 187-92 & passim ), che lo definisce ""superiore a qualsiasi altro pubblicato nell'intervallo di tre secoli dal 1311 al 1611"". Newton possedeva una copia del presente libro che ora si trova al Trinity College di Cambridge (vedi Harrison, The Library of Isaac Newton, 535). De Dominis (1560-1626), gesuita dalmata, tenne conferenze di matematica, logica e filosofia a Verona, Padova e Brescia. In seguito fu nominato arcivescovo di Spalato (Spalato). La sua fede nell'unità di tutti i cristiani chiese e la pace tra le nazioni lo portarono a fuggire in Inghilterra. Poco dopo il suo ritorno a Roma, fu imprigionato dall'Inquisizione. Morì in una prigione e dopo la sua morte fu riconosciuto colpevole di eresia e il suo corpo fu bruciato. Goethe scrisse di De Dominis che ""ha scoperto lo spettro solare mentre diceva messa"" Cinti 33. Poggendorff, I, 589-90. Riccardi, I, 417-18– ""importantissimo libro"". Printer’s mark on title page & numerous woodcut diagrams in the text. 4 p.l., 78 pp., 1 leaf of errata. Small 4to, contemporary calf. Venice: T. Baglionus, 1611. Title page with a small restoration. First edition of this rare and important work in the early history of optics and the telescope; it had a major influence on the optical theories of Newton and is of great Galilean interest. De radiis visus et lucis deals with lenses, telescopes, and the rainbow. De Dominis knew how light was refracted in its passage from one medium to another. After the invention of the telescope Dominis added its theoretical explanation to his work. His explanation was not entirely satisfactory, however, because his knowledge of the law of refraction was incomplete. De Dominis describes in particular detail the effect on the angle of sight of a lens of greater curvature or of a greater distance between the lens and the object being viewed. With the same thoroughness he examined lens combinations, in particular the combination of a convex object glass and a concave eyepiece. This work led to his discovery of the conditions under which the magnification of an image is possible.""–D.S.B., IV, p. 158.In the Preface, Giovanni Bartoli, who was Tuscan Ambassador at Venice and an early advocate of Galileo’s discoveries, describes the newly invented telescope (attributing its invention to Galileo) and the discoveries made possible by this instrument. De Dominis also provides an account of the telescope (pp. 34-43) and even suggests draw-tubes, which came into use much later. This book also contains De Dominis’ famous theory of the rainbow which greatly influenced Newton. In 1704, Newton wrote in his Optics: ""This Refraction was of late more fully discover’d and explain’d by the famous Antonius de Dominis, Archbishop of Spalato, in his book De Radiis Visus et Lucis, published by his friend Bartolus at Venice, in the Year 1611, and written above 20 Years before. For he teaches there how the interior Bow is made in round Drops of Rain by two Refractions of the Sun light."". For a thorough discussion of De Dominis explanation of the rainbow, see Boyer, The Rainbow (pp. 187-92 & passim), who calls it ""superior to any other published in the interval of three centuries from 1311 to 1611."" Newton owned a copy of the present book which is now at the Trinity College, Cambridge (see Harrison, The Library of Isaac Newton, 535). De Dominis (1560-1626), a Dalmatian Jesuit, lectured on mathematics, logic, and philosophy at Verona, Padua, and Brescia. He was later appointed archbishop of Split (Spalato). His belief in the unity of all Christian churches and peace among nations caused him to flee to England. Soon after his return to Rome, he was imprisoned by the Inquisition. He died in a dungeon and after his death he was found guilty of heresy and his body was burned. Goethe wrote of De Dominis that ""he discovered the solar spectrum while celebrating Mass"" Cinti 33.

In-4°, XX, pp.210, tavola fuori testo legatura in cartonato. Christian Kramp fu un astronomo, fisico e matematico francese, scrisse di vari argomenti e molti trattati di matematica pura. La sua opera principale benché di carattere astronomico è - Analyse des refractions astronomiques et terrestres - In questa opera affronta il problema della elasticità dell'aria in relazione alla sua densità ma soprattutto presenta una dettagliata tavola numerica delle funzioni trascendentali che cosi divenne importante nel CALCOLO DELLE PROBALITA' da essere chiamata " Kramp's trascendental", introdusse anche la funzione "n". Come Bessel, Legendre e Gauss egli estese la nozione di fattoriale ai sistemi di numeri non interi (non-whole). DSB ad vocem. In-4°, XX, pp.210, plate, cardboard binding Christian Kramp was a French astronomer, physicist and mathematician, he wrote of various and many subjects treatises on pure mathematics. His main work although of an astronomical nature is - Analyze des refractions astronomiques et terrestres - In this work he addresses the problem of air elasticity in relation to its density but above all it presents a detailed numerical table of transcendental functions which thus became important in the CALCULATION OF PROBALITIES to be called "Kramp's transcendental", also introduced the function "n". Like Bessel, Legendre and Gauss he extended the notion of factorial to non-whole number systems. (See DSB)

Supplementary note on Electron Optics provided by Mr. Blank. Three supplementary notes provided by Dr. Herzberger. "The author's idea of treating geometrical optics as a special limiting case of wave optics has never before been carried out in so much detail. His treatment of diffraction optics is an important step forward. Highly recommended as a source of valuable information. Herzberger's first supplement is probably the best succinct presentation of electronic optics so far published in any language." - Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., Vol 51, #11. Bindings intact.

ENVOI signé de l'auteur à Émile Combes (1835-1921), membre de l'Institut ; il entreprit des études de médecine à Paris et soutient une thèse sur les Considérations contre l'hérédité des maladies en 1868. Il s'illustra par la suite dans la carrière politique, sous les présidences de Loubet et de Poincaré. Rare édition originale de cet ouvrage très approfondi sur la vision binoculaire et les instruments d'optiques ; l'ophtalmoscope binoculaire, invention de l'auteur (p. 674 et suiv.), Marc-Antoine "Félix" Giraud-Teulon (1816-1887), y est décrit pour la première fois. L'ophtalmoscope de Giraud-Teulon, consistait en un un miroir concave de 45mm de diamètre, avec deux prismes à l'arrière se rencontrant sur leurs angles aigus et deux prismes variables fixés du côte de l'observateur, l'un ayant une surface plane, l'autre convexe. Nachet emprunta son principe pour la fabrication son propre ophtalmoscope binoculaire. De par son utilisation peu commode, l'objet rencontra peu de succès : il sera de nouveau envisagé plusieurs années après, par Charles Schepens ("Un nouvel ophtalmoscope binoculaire pour l'examen du décollement de la rétine", Bulletin de la Société belge d'ophtalmologie, 1945). Bon exemplaire, non rogné. Hirsch II, 759. Schett, The Ophtalmoscope, p. 172 et suiv
