Description
Florence: Typis regiae Celesitudinus, apud Petrum Antonium Brigonci, [1701]. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio (330 x 238mm). [24], 164, 128pp., 3 leaves of engraved plates by Giovanni Antonio Lorenzini (2 are double leaves) depicting one of Galileo’s bust, 2 double-page of Galileo’s house, woodcut diagrams throughout. Later mottled calf, spine gilt (lightly spotted; rubbed). First Edition of Vincenzo Viviani’s first written but last published work. Viviani was an Italian mathematician and scientist. In 1639, at the age of 17, he was an assistant of Galileo Galilei in Arcetri. Viviani remained there as his disciple until Galileo’s death in 1642. Throughout his life, one of Viviani’s main interests was in ancient Greek mathematics. As early as 1646, while collaborating with his mentor Evangelista Torricelli, Viviani was working on a project to restore the work of Aristaeus the Elder (c.370-c.300 B.C.). Aristaeus’ work is believed to have been the first methodical exposition of the curves discovered by Menaechmus, and was entitled Five Books concerning Solid Loci (Solid Loci is the Greek term for conic sections). The book had entirely been lost; however, Pappus of Alexandria (c.290-c.350) later indicated propositions from the work which aided Viviani in reconstructing the contents. It was a project that Viviani worked on for most of his life. In 1673 he published an edition of his restoration but he continued to work on it and his final effort, this copy, De locis solidis secunda divinatio geometrica… was published in 1701, only two years before his death.
