KIRCHER, Athanasis (1602-1680). Physiologia Kircheriana experimentalis, qua summa argumentorum multitudine & varietate, edited by Johann Stephan Kestler. Amsterdam: Jan Waesberg, 1680.
First edition, published the year of Kircher’s death, of a selection from his voluminous works. The range of subjects covered encompasses the entire spectrum of his researches in physics. Kestler, the editor, was Kircher's pupil but, as Kircher died the year this book was published, it is uncertain to what degree he was involved in its production. Garrison-Morton 580: ‘includes the first recorded experiment in hypnotism in animals’.
Folio (376 x 239mm). Additional engraved title, woodcut and engraved illustrations in the text (light spotting or browning, some marginal wormholes with associated repairs to first 8 and last 4 leaves). Contemporary calf, red morocco lettering piece, spine gilt (chipped at spine ends, lightly rubbed, joints slightly splitting).
