Description
Kempten: Rudolhum Dreherr. First Edition. Hardcover (Full Leather). Very Good Condition. Rebound in modern calf in an antique style, endpapers refreshed, lacking original final blank and half title, otherwise complete with engraved title (with a tear and loss in the margin, repaired with paper), portrait and two plates. Some browning and degradation to bottom edge of title and following leaf (apparently from the removal from previous ownership marks), largish stain running from 205-212 but nor really affecting legibility, generally light and scattered staining elsewhere. (44), 229, (17) pp. Ferguson 371, Graesse K22, Brunet III 668 Famous for being the first book entirely devoted to the science of acoustics and for first mentioning the aeolian harp, Phonurgia Nova was spurred into publication by a rival's (Samuel Morland) claim to having invented the speaking trumpet which Kircher had been using for decades. Size: Folio. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos. Category: Music; Inventory No: 047901.
