COSMOLOGY – Domenico DE LUCCATINI. ‘Liber de elementis’, apparently an authorial manuscript, a compendium of treatises on the four elements, 1670. Illustrated with c.22 drawings, 7 on inserted slips, including a series depicting the planetary system, 34 pages of computational data at the end of the manuscript. In Latin, c. 220 leaves, 4to (180 x 130mm). Contemporary vellum (spine part detached).
An appealing collection of texts on natural philosophy, reflecting contemporary learning. The compiler, Domenico de Luccatini, who has twice signed his manuscript, was likely a university student, copying certain of his texts in Latin from printed sources with their accompanying illustrations.
