BOSCOVICH, Ruggiero Giuseppe (1711-87). De centro gravitatis dissertatio. Editio altera. Rome: Marco Palearini, 1751.
4° (260 x 200mm). Woodcut device on title, two engraved plates at end, woodcut headpieces and initials. (Some light spotting, title lightly soiled, margin of second engraved plate repaired affecting plate margin.) Later boards. Provenance: Mario Marzotti (ownership inscription on title dated 1790) — unidentified trimmed inscription on margin of title.
Second edition. The first was published the same year in Rome by Komarek. Boscovich stands between the natural philosophy of Isaac Newton and Leibniz at one extreme and Faraday in the field theory at the other. The present treatise on gravity was published a few years after his De viribus vivis dissertatio (see lot 306) on the subject of the living force and with his first statement of universal force law. Riccardi I 177 (‘Raro’).
