Small 8° (143 x 88mm). Wechel’s device on title, 31 geometrical woodcuts, most in white on black, woodcut initials and headpieces. (Cropped, a few margins closely shaved, lightly and evenly browned throughout.) 19th/20th-century morocco (extremities quite rubbed). Provenance: bookplate with motto ‘Discessit non decessit’ (pastedown) — stamp on title.

FIRST EDITION of this philosophical poem elaborating Bruno's conception of the threefold minimum — the smallest finite and indivisible part understood in physical, mathematical, and metaphysical senses — forming the atomic basis of an infinite universe. This book was one of the last he published before being arrested by the Inquisition and burned at the stake for heresy. 'In these poems, written in a style imitating that of Lucretius, Bruno expounded for the last time his philosophical and cosmological meditations, mingled, as in the works published in England, with powerful Hermetic influences' (DSB). Adams B-2951; Riccardi I, 199.
