First Latin edition of the Dialogo, the summation of Galileo's astronomical thought and the work which directly precipitated his 1663 trial and judgement for heresy. Preceded only by the first Italian edition, published in Florence in 1632. Quarto, bound in full red Jansenist morocco by Marius Michel with gilt titles and five raised bands to the spine, double gilt ruled turn-ins and elaborately gilt ruled and scrolled inner dentelles stamp-signed by Michel, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Additional engraved title page depicting a dialogue between Aristotle, Ptolemy and Copernicus, engraved portrait of Galileo by Jacob van der Heyden, errata leaf. The Dialogo takes the form of a conversation between supporters of the rival cosmic systems; although ostensibly impartial, it proved a step too far, and in 1633 Galileo was tried, forced to abjure Copernicanism and sentenced to permanent house arrest. The Dialogo itself was banned. This Latin edition includes two tracts in the appendix not in the Italian edition of 1632, and it is the only major work of Galileo's to be published outside Italy during his lifetime. The two added Latin tracts are the introduction to Kepler's Astronomia nova (pp. 459-464), and a letter by Paolo Antonio Foscarini defending the truth of Copernicanism and rebutting the charge that it conflicted with scripture (pp. 465-495).

Provenance: from the library of Albert Linemann, 1603-1654, astronomer and professor of mathematics at the University of Konigsberg, inscription to the title page. Born in Fischhausen, Linemann was a mathematician and professor known in part for his critical stance against astrological interpretations of the time. Subsequently from the renowned library of American astronomer and historian of science at Harvard University Owen Gingerich, bookplate to the pastedown. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the extremities, lower margin of engraved title extended. In 1632, Galileo Galilei published his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo), a bold and sophisticated defense of the Copernican heliocentric model that swiftly became the most controversial and widely banned scientific work of the 17th century. Framed as a conversation among three interlocutorsâ"Salviati, a proponent of the Copernican system; Sagredo, an intelligent and open-minded layman; and Simplicio, a defender of the Ptolemaic-Aristotelian geocentric worldviewâ"the dialogue format allowed Galileo to explore complex scientific arguments in an engaging and rhetorically strategic way. Simplicioâs arguments, often marked by naivety and rigidity, appeared to echo the views of Pope Urban VIII and traditional Church teachings, a parallel that likely intensified the controversy surrounding the book. The Dialogue was crafted both as a public appeal and as a means of circumventing ecclesiastical constraints on scientific discourse. As a "masterly polemic for the new science," it championed empirical observation and mathematical reasoning while exposing the weaknesses of Aristotelian natural philosophy. Galileo presented the latest telescopic discoveriesâ"the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, sunspots, and the irregular surface of the Moonâ"as decisive evidence against geocentric cosmology. He ridiculed the intellectual inertia of those who clung to outdated systems and emphasized the philosophical and physical coherence of a moving Earth. Galileo's Dialogo ". was designed both as an appeal to the great public and as an escape from silence ⦠it is a masterly polemic for the new science. It displays all the great discoveries in the heavens which the ancients had ignored; it inveighs against the sterility, willfulness, and ignorance of those who defend their systems; it revels in the simplicity of Copernican thought and, above all, it teaches that the movement of the earth makes sense in philosophy, that is, in physics. The Dialogo, more than any other work, made the heliocentric system a commonplaceâ (PMM). "The Dialogo, far more than any work, convinced men of the truth of the Copernican system" (Owen Gingerich). The reaction from Church authorities was swift and severe. In 1633, Galileo was tried by the Roman Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy," and compelled to publicly recant his views. He was sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life. Meanwhile, the Dialogue was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, where it would remain until 1835. This dramatic confrontation between Galileo and the Church became a defining moment in the history of science, symbolizing the growing rift between empirical inquiry and religious dogma. It also marked a critical turning point in the cultural and intellectual transition toward modern science, asserting the legitimacy of observation, reason, and mathematical explanation in the pursuit of natural truth.

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Zustand: Bien. 1ª Edición. Fol. (33,2 x 21 cm.) 2 h. inc. port. grabada en madera, 149 p., 5 h. sin num. de tabla, al vuelto de la última el colofón. Cabeceras, capitulares y grabados en texto, algunos a toda plana. Plena piel del XVIII, lomo desgastado, algo abierto por los cajos, hierros dorados, tejuelo parcialmente conservado. Primera edición de una de las obras más importantes en la historia de la música, en especial de la melodía y la ópera barrocas. Tiene la particularidad de ser el primer libro en contener el primer ejemplo de grabado musical. Vincenzo Galilei, padre de Galileo Galieli, fue un consumado compositor, laudista, cantante y compositor florentino, cuyo rechazo a la polifonía allanó el camino para la ópera. Fue de los primeros músicos en someter el sonido instrumental a la razón de la ciencia empírica. Se dice que fueron los experimentos de Galilei con el sonido el origen de la física experimental, lo que llevaría a su hijo a cuestionarse el mundo para verificar las leyes de la naturaleza como un hecho empírico. Vincenzo Galilei estableció las bases sobre las que se construiría la nueva música , relacionando las palabras y el sonido con el mundo emocional del oyente. Y, desde ese preciso instante, la Teoría de los Afectos dejó de ser solo teoría, convirtiéndose en un lenguaje que hace partícipe de sus efectos al espectador. Última hoja remarginada y con injerto en la mitad inferior. Pequeño desgarro en la esquina superior del fol. 115 sin afectar al texto. Adams G 139; Cinti 6; RISM B.

Erste lateinische Ausgabe seiner berühmten, 1638 erstmals in Leyden erschienenen "Discorsi". - "Galileo's greatest work. In the 'Dialogo' Galileo had treated motion philosophically; here, continuing the medieval mathematical tradition, he proceeded to define uniform and accelerated motion correctly, and then to develop kinematics in a series of geometrical theorems, of which the most important is the result already announced in the 'Dialogo', that a uniformly accelerated body. travels over distances proportional to the square of the time taken in the descent. Here also is found Galileo's 'reductio ad absurdum' proof that acceleration is proportional to time. Mathematicians and physicists of the later seventeenth century, Isaac Newton among them, rightly supposed that Galileo had begun a new era in the science of mechanics. It was upon his foundations that Huygens, Newton and others were able to erect the fame of the science of dynamics, and to extend its range. to the heavenly bodies" (PMM). - Vorsatz etwas fleckig.

Leipzig, Grosse & Gleditsch, 1696. 4to. Entire volume present. Nice contemporary full vellum. Small yellow paper label pasted to top of spine and library-label to front free end-papers. Internally some browning and brownspotting. Overall a nice and tight copy. [Bernoulli paper:] pp. 264-69. [Leibniz-paper:] pp. 45-47. [Entire volume: (2), 603, (1) pp. + plates]. First printing of the famous 1696-edition of Acta Eruditorum in which Johann Bernoulli published a challenge to the best mathematicians:"Let two points A and B be given in a vertical plane. To find the curve that a point M, moving on a path AMB , must follow such that, starting from A, it reaches B in the shortest time under its own gravity."Johann adds that this curve is not a straight line, but a curve well known to geometers, and that he will indicate that curve, if nobody would do so that year. Later that year Johann corresponded directly with Leibniz regarding his challenge. Leibniz solved the problem the same day he received notice of it, and almost correctly predicted a total of only five solutions: from the two Bernoullis, himself, L'Hospital, and Newton. Leibniz was convinced that the problem could only be solved by a mathematician who mastered the new field of calculus. (Galileo had formulated and given an incorrect solution to the problem in his Dialogo). But by the end of the year Johann had still not received any other solutions. However, Leibniz convinced Johann that he should extend the deadline to Easter and that he should republish the problem. Johann now had copies of the problem sent to Journal des sçavans, the Philosophical Transactions, and directly to Newton. Earlier that year Johann had accused Newton for having filched from Leibniz' papers. Manifestly, both Johann and Leibniz interpreted the silence from June to December as a demonstration that the problem had baffled Newton. They intended now to demonstrate their superiority publicly. But Newton sent a letter dated Jan. 30 1697 to Charles Montague, then president of the Royal Society, in which he gave his solution and mentioned that he had solved it the same day that he received it. Montague had Newton's solution published anonymously in the Philosophical Transactions. However, when Bernoulli saw this solution he realized from the authority which it displayed that it could only have come from Newton (Bernoulli later remarked that he 'recognized the lion by its claw').
