TARTAGLIA, Niccolò (1499?-1557) -- JORDANUS DE NEMORE (fl. c. 1220). Opusculum de ponderositate. Nicolai Tartaleae studio correctum, nouisque figuris auctum. Venice: Curtio Troiano [de’ Navò], 1565.
4º (205 x 147mm). Woodcut title device, numerous diagrams, headpiece, several historiated initials. With final blank. (Title and A4 browned at upper corner, title also with two small repaired holes, two text leaves with lower corners torn away.) Modern patterned boards.
FIRST EDITION of this version of Jordanus’s De ratione ponderis, published by Curtio Troiano from a manuscript copy owned by Tartaglia, who had died in 1557. On the science of weights or statics, Jordanus's work contained ‘forty-five propositions and is probably the most significant of all medieval statical treatises’ (DSB VII, p.173). Tartaglia had already contributed to the extensive commentary literature on Jordanus with his Quesiti et invenzione diverse of 1546. Adams J-326; BL/ STC Italian Books, p. 360; Riccardi I(ii) 507.10: ‘opusculo raro’.
