SCALIGER, Julius Caesar (1484-1558). Exotericarum exercitationum liber quintus decimus. Paris: Michael Vascosan, July 1557.
4° (255 x 160mm). Woodcut diagrams, with the final blank. (Some browning and spotting throughout, occasional light marginal waterstaining.) Contemporary vellum (soiled, new endpapers). Provenance: Antoine ?Merine… (inscription on title) – erased stamp (on title) – several manuscript annotations in different hands.
FIRST EDITION of this ‘spirited critique of Cardano's De subtilitate libri XXI. The full title of the 'Exotericarum exercitationum' implies that the critique is merely the fifteenth book of Scaliger's philosophical exercises (the first fourteen remained unpublished). Following its target, the work ranges over the whole of natural philosophy’ (DSB). Adams S-579; Caillet 9947; Duveen 342; Ferguson II, 324.
