FIRST EDITION. Supportive of the ancient theory that tides are caused by the sun and moon’s attraction, Delfino’s work is dedicated to cardinal François de Tournon by mathematicians of the Academia. Renouard states that 1100 copies were printed, describing it as ‘fort rare. Il est bien imprimé et sur très beau papier, comme le sont à-peu-prè sans exception tous les livres de l’Accademia Veneziana.’ Adams D-232; Ahmanson-Murphy 601; Brunet II, 579; Honeyman 848; Mortimer/Harvard Italian 150; Renouard, Alde, 275:21; Riccardi I, 403; not in BL.
