In -4°, due parti in un volume, antiporta figurata incisa, due tavole incise a piena pagina di cui una con ritratto dell’autore. Testo corredato da centinaia di vignette, testatine, iniziali e finalini istoriati calcografici; diverse illustrazioni incise (I) legato con “Poesie liriche toscane”, inc. di Giovanni Battista Bonacina, Etienne Picart su disegni di Gregorio Tomasini; legatura in piena pergamena coeva semirigida, fioriture e lievi macchie di umidità e bruniture su alcune carte (in particolare pp. 89-92), segni di restauro su alcune carte. Molto raro, questo libro è uno degli esempi più impressionanti della produzione barocca italiana: sconosciuto ai compilatori della Bibliografia Romana: Boffito nomina il primo frontespizio inciso come registrato da Le Blanc, ma aggiunge che per loro un esemplare sarebbe stato introvabile. Prima edizione delle due opere, rilegate assieme e pubblicate postume, probabilmente è un omaggio a Cesarini stampato in tiratura limitata. L’autore è un cugino di Federico Cesi, studioso di legge e filosofia e appassionato di astronomia e matematica. Amico di Galileo e membro dell’Accademia dei Lincei, sollecitò Galileo a scrivere Il Sggiatore. I versi qui contenuti sono dedicati ciascuno a personaggi illustri dell’epoca (molti di loro membri dell’Accademia). Rossetti 1824 Very rare, this is one of the most impressive examples of Italian baroque book production: It was not known to the compilers of the Bibliografia Romana: Boffito mentions the first engraved title page as registered by Le Blanc, but it adds “We couldn’t find the edition”. First edition of the two works, issued together and posthumously published, with a life of the author included. This was probably a memorial to Cesarini published in a small number of copies. The author was a cousin of Count Federico Cesi and, after studies in law and philosophy, developed a passionate interest in mathematics and astronomy. He was friend of Galileo and Ciampoli and a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. He went on to urge Galileo to write Il Saggiatore. The verses here contained, latin and italian, are each dedicated to a notable contemporary (many of these were members of the Accademia).
