RICCIOLI, Giambattista (1598-1671). Astronomiae reformatae tomi duo. Bologna: heirs of Vittorio Benatio, 1665.
First edition. Intended as a third and supplementary part of the Almagestum novum, the work presents a series of individual treatises on the bodies of the solar system and the fixed stars. Riccioli ‘noted the colored bands parallel to the equator of Jupiter and made observations of Saturn that, if he had had better instruments, might have led him to recognize its rings’ (DSB). Although he knew of Huygens’ Systema saturnia (1659), he disagreed with Huygens’ ring theory. Houzeau & Lancaster 9230; Wellcome IV, p. 519; Norman 1827.
Folio (370 x 247mm). General title printed in red and black with engraved arms of Ferdinand Maria, Prince Elector of Bavaria, 2 engraved folding plates by Domenico Fontana after Francisco Maria Grimaldi (previously used in the Almagestum novum) and numerous woodcut text illustrations. (Marginal wormtrack in vol. 2, touching one or two letters in a handful of pages.) Contemporary blind-stamped calf, paneled sides with two triple-fillet borders enclosing rolls of interlocking foliage, central panel with triple-fillet partitions, paneled spine decorated and lettered in gilt, red edges (joints cracked, spine chipped at foot, rubbed and worn, extremities rubbed, upper side with a few dents and abrasions).
