ZONCA, Vittorio (1568-1602). Novo teatro di machine et edificii. Padua: Francesco Bertelli, 1656.
Fourth and last edition, with the same plates as the first (1607), of this outstanding work on early machinery: a graphic description of how technology helps man in the performance of work compiled by Zonca from the unpublished ‘Trattato di architectura’ of the fifteenth-century Sienese architect-engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini. Vittorio Zonca's compendium illustrates machines powered by men, animals or water for tasks such as the lifting of weights, weaving, printing, etc. Berlin Kat. 1776; Riccardi II, 669.
Folio (305 x 217mm). Engraved architectural title, 42 engraved full-page illustrations (uniform light browning, a few quires slightly loose, some marginal soiling, instances of offsetting from the plates, which are in good, dark impression, one plate with print fault deriving from crease, two labels with letters j and B glued to one plate). 19th-century paste-paper boards, spine lettered in ink (faded). Provenance: remains of paper shelfmark label on the spine.
