DIVINI, Eustachio (1610-1695). Eustachius de divinis septempedanus pro sua annotatione in sistema saturnium Christiani Hugenii adversus eiusdem assertionem. Rome: typis Dragondellianis, 1661.
8º (180 x 129mm). Folding engraved plate. (Plate torn slightly and strengthened on back edge.) Italian 20th-century quarter calf and mottled boards, uncut.
Formerly attributed to Honoré Fabri (1608-1688), a Jesuit natural philosopher, resident in Rome, who criticized Descartes’ concept of subtle matter, defended the Jesuits against the criticisms of Pascal, and criticized Huygens’s ring interpretation of the appearance of Saturn; though his arguments were retracted in 1665. The attribution is questioned by SBN/It citing Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, vol. 40 p.306. Dragondelliani published an earlier edition of the tract in 1660, as did Adrian Vlacq at 's-Gravenhage. Only 4 locations of this edition in Italian libraries; not in BL.
