MARCHETTI, Alessandro (1633-1714). Exercitationes mechanicæ. Pisa: Jo. Ferretti, 1669.
4º (207 x 146mm). Woodcut title device, diagrams and ornaments. (Spotted, especially at beginning and end, light worming in blank areas of half-title, minimal affect on title.) Contemporary gilt-panelled vellum, red edges (rather rubbed and crinkled, some worm holes). Provenance: ‘SP’ (stamp on blank area of title).
FIRST EDITION. Marchetti was a follower of Galileo and pupil of Borelli at the University of Pisa. He was also a poet. Having failed to obtain permission to publish the first known Italian vernacular translation of Lucretius's De rerum natura, in composition between 1664 and 1668, he turned to narrower questions of mechanics, and published this treatise entirely devoted to the law of the lever. BL/STC 17th-century Italian Books II, p.534; Riccardi I(ii) 106.1.
