TALIANI, Giuseppe. Orologi riflessi per mezo di un picciolo specchio parallelo, ò perpendicolare all'orizonte. Macerata: Filippo Camacci, 1648.
4º (214 x 156mm). Title in red and black with woodcut arms of Cardinal Cenci, the dedicatee. Woodcut diagrams. Table on F3r with letterpress and manuscript overslips. (First two quires with narrow wormhole at lower margin, light spotting.) 20th-century vellum. Provenance: Franciscan friary at Massa (inscription on half-title).
[?]FIRST EDITION of this work by Giuseppe Taliani of Macerata which developed the idea of G.B. Benedetti of Imola (1530-1590) for the construction of sundials in the interior of buildings, using the sun’s reflected rays. Houzeau and Lancaster and Riccardi are in probable error in listing two editions besides the present one, an earlier edition of 1635 and later one of 1684, since this is the only edition recorded in SBN or WorldCat; the latter records title variants. BL/STC 17th-century Italian Books II, p.888; Houzeau and Lancaster 11445; Riccardi I(ii) 482; Vinciana, Aut. Ital. del ’600 1685.
