GALILEI, Galileo (1564-1642). Systema cosmicum... in quo quatuor dialogis, de duobus maximis mundi systematibus, ptolemaico et copernicano, utriusque rationibus philosophicis ac naturalibus indefinite propositis disseritur. Ex Italica lingua Latine conversum. Translated by Matthias Berneger. Strassburg: impensis Elzeviriorum, typis Davidis Hautti, 1635.
4º (199 x 146mm). Engraved frontispiece, engraved portrait by Jacob van Heyden, (Paper fibres weak, discolouration at margins, many pages repaired sometimes affecting shoulder notes or causing loss to main body of text, repairs often leaving white powder traces, Dd2-3 adhering together.) Contemporary limp vellum, manuscript title on spine (recased, new endpapers).
THE FIRST LATIN EDITION OF GALILEO’S MASTER POLEMIC. With the short title of Dialogus de systemate mundi on the frontispiece, and two tracts in the appendix not in the Italian edition of 1632, it is the only major work of Galileo’s to be published outside Italy during his lifetime. The two added Latin tracts are the introduction to Kepler's Astronomia nova (pp. 459-464), and a letter by Paolo Antonio Foscarini defending the truth of Copernicanism and rebutting the charge that it conflicted with scripture (pp. 465-495). Willems notes the ‘mediocre’ quality of the paper used. Brunet II, 1462; Carli and Favaro 148; Cinti 96; Riccardi I, 513; Willems 426; cf. Grolier/Horblit Science 18c; Printing and the Mind of Man 128.
