ESCHINARDI, Francesco (1623-1699?). Cursus physicomathematicus. Rome: Giovanni Giacomo Komarek, 1689.
Small 4° (225 x 165mm). Woodcut diagrams, head- and tailpieces, initials. (Light waterstaining in a few inner gutters, a few leaves lightly browned, light spotting.) A ?reimboitage of old vellum (lightly soiled).
FIRST EDITION of Eschinardi's textbook of contemporary physical science in which he refers to Galileo in the preface. Eschinardi had a solid scientific background and knowledge of the works of the proponents of the ‘new science’, from Copernicus to Galilei and Borelli. Though still inevitably tied to certain traditional patterns, especially in astronomy with the reaffirmation of the centrality of the Earth, Eschinardi shows a sincere admiration for the innovative work of those scholars and the desire to follow in their footsteps by using the experimental method. Carli and Favaro 375; Houzeau and Lancaster 8808; Riccardi I, 431.
