A bit of wear to capitals and a bit of minor soiling to boards, but a fine and handsome copy. Inner hinges a bit weak. Internally nice and clean, with just a bit of light minor occasional brownspotting. Large engraved pictorial vignette (heading: Accdemia Fiorentina) to title-page. Very nice woodcut vignettes and initials throughout. XXXI, (1), 676, (2, - Approvazioni) pp. [Viviani's Galilei-biography: pp. 397-431]. First edition of this extensive work of biographies of the people of the Florentine Academy. Among the dozens of biographies in the present work, we have the first printing of Viviani's seminal biography of Galilei, the first, and by far the most important biography of the great astronomer ever written. It is from this biography that we have most of the canonical stories and anecdotes about Galilei that keep being repeated and quoted - e.g. the legend of Galilei demonstrating to his students that Aristotle was wrong about speed of fall being related to the weight of an object by dropping balls of different mass off the leaning tower in Pisa" the stories of how he came up with the idea of the pendulum after having watched a suspended lamp swing back and forth in the cathedral of Pisa when he was still a student there - and furthermore also how his first experiments with pendulums were carried out (by his son due to his own failing eyesight), etc., etc.Vincenzo Viviani (1622-1703) considered himself Galilei's last pupil and he spent most of his life reinstating the ideas of Galilei. He was merely 20 years old when his master died, and he was present at the bedside of the dying master as well as at the removal of his body. Thus, he was a direct witness to many of the events that took place in Galilei's life, and as such he is an indispensible biographer - especially seeing that no other person had attempted a biograhy of the great astronomer. After Galielei's death, Viviani was granted a pension by the King of France, in exchange for him writing a great, massive biography of his master. This planned massive work never came about, though, - probably due to both fear of retaliation, inabilty to reconcile geometry with the dogmas of faith, and finally a general fear of what such a biography could carry with it politically, etc. (he had apparantly also been warned of this). What we have left of the massive work is that which is present in Salvini's collection of biographies of the Florentine Academy. The work is written in the form of a letter addressed to Prince Leopoldo de'Medici, and it was not printed during Viviani's lifetime, but only in 1717, in the present book. Though not as extensive as had originally been planned, and though not printed as soon as originally planned, the work is still of the greatest importance to our knowledge about Galilei and forms the foundation for all later works on the astronomer. For the student of Galilei, it is absolutely indispensible. Being the first biography of Galilei, and the only one written by a contemporary, and one who knew him very well, the work plays a greater role in the study of the master's life than any other work.Viviani may not have been a faithful chronicler or a clear interpreter, but we will have to make do with that which he can tell us about Galilei. Though not all stories may be true, almost all of the most famous anecdotes and legends that we have about Galilei stem from the present work. After having described the various marvels, discoveries, etc. of Galilei's life, Viviani ends by describing the last hours of Galilei's life: "il Mercoledì delli 8. de Gennaio del 1641. ab Inc. a ore 4. di notte in età di settantasette anni, mesi dieci, e giorni vent, con Filosofica, e Christiana constanza, rese l'Anima al suo Creatore, inviandosi questa a godere, e rimarar più d'apresso quelle eterne maraviglie, ch'ella con tanta avidità, & impazienza aveva procurator per mezzo di fragil artifizio d'avvicinare agli occhi di noi mortali." (p. 423) ["On the night of Jan. 8, 1641, at about 4 o'clock at night at the age of 77 years, 10 months, and 20 days, with philosophical and Christian firmness he rendered up his soul to its Creator, sending it, as he liked to believe, to enjoy and to watch from a closer vantage point those eternal and immutable marvels which he, by means of a fragile device, had brought closer to our mortal eyes with such eagerness and impatience."] - clearly showing the sense that Viviani had for Galilei's biblically inspired faith.The work furthermore contains several hitherto unpublished treatises on men from the famous scientific academy of Florence.

Riccardi, 629: "Bella et rara ediz."; Cinti, 167. Édition originale. Premier ouvrage de Viviani, qui ne fut imprimé qu'à la fin de sa vie. "Although the Medici court gave him much work, Viviani studied the geometry of the ancients. His accomplishments brought him membership in the Accademia del Cimento, and in 1696 he became a member of the Royal Society of London. in 1699 he was elected one of the eight foreign members of the Académie des Sciences in Paris. Viviani's first project was an attempted restoration of a work by Aristaeus the Elder, De locis solidis divinatio geometrica, which Viviani undertook when he was twenty-four. Aristaeus' work is believed to have been the first methodical exposition of the curves discovered by Menaechmus; but since it has been entirely lost, it is difficult to estimate how close Viviani came to the original work" (DSB XIV, p.49). Viviani (1622-1703) fut l'élève et le biographe de Galilée. L'ouvrage est illustré d'un portrait de Galilée et de 2 planches représentant la maison construite par Viviani en son honneur et décorée de plaques portant des inscriptions à sa louange. Bon exemplaire. Une galerie de vers dans la marge des derniers feuillets atteint un peu les planches. (inv 10829).

Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Folio (330 x 238mm). [24], 164, 128pp., 3 leaves of engraved plates by Giovanni Antonio Lorenzini (2 are double leaves) depicting one of Galileo s bust, 2 double-page of Galileo s house, woodcut diagrams throughout. Later mottled calf, spine gilt (lightly spotted; rubbed). First Edition of Vincenzo Viviani s first written but last published work. Viviani was an Italian mathematician and scientist. In 1639, at the age of 17, he was an assistant of Galileo Galilei in Arcetri. Viviani remained there as his disciple until Galileo s death in 1642. Throughout his life, one of Viviani s main interests was in ancient Greek mathematics. As early as 1646, while collaborating with his mentor Evangelista Torricelli, Viviani was working on a project to restore the work of Aristaeus the Elder (c.370-c.300 B.C.). Aristaeus work is believed to have been the first methodical exposition of the curves discovered by Menaechmus, and was entitled Five Books concerning Solid Loci (Solid Loci is the Greek term for conic sections). The book had entirely been lost; however, Pappus of Alexandria (c.290-c.350) later indicated propositions from the work which aided Viviani in reconstructing the contents. It was a project that Viviani worked on for most of his life. In 1673 he published an edition of his restoration but he continued to work on it and his final effort, this copy, De locis solidis secunda divinatio geometrica was published in 1701, only two years before his death.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 4to. [24.2 x 18 cm], xiv, 32 pp., (1) f. (¿Ommessioni¿), without initial blank, as often. Cancel on p. 17. Several corrections in ink by an early reader. Worming in upper and lower gutter. Bound in contemporary calf, spine rebacked. Generally very fresh. Very rare first and only edition of this book of geometrical problems proposed by Galileo¿s last disciple, including Viviani¿s own solution to the Florentine Enigma he had earlier that year published under a pseudonym. In the dedication to Prince Ferdinand de Medici, he identifies himself for the first time as the author of this challenge, which was occupying Europe¿s foremost mathematicians. ¿At the age of 70 Viviani, afflicted by numerous ills contracted in the countryside where he had been sent by his masters, housebound, turned to the many papers in his Geometric Exercises. The work is addressed to the ¿expert geometers and valorous analysts of Italy and abroad whose stupendous inventions have revealed to the world ¿the art of solving knots far more intricate than these.¿ In this volume he again proposes the problem previously published under the name of D. Pio Lisci Pusillo Geometra.¿ (Cinti, p. 314) ¿The problem was to perforate a hemispheric arch, having four equal windows, in such a way that the residual surface could be squared. Viviani solved the problem by a method that became well known. It is accomplished by the intersection of four right cylinders, the bases of which are tangent to the base of the hemisphere.¿ (DSB XIV, 49) According to the mathematical historian Montucla, Viviani¿s solution presented here ¿is superior to all others.¿ (Riccardi II, 628) The Florentine Enigma drew many responses the same year, most notably one by Leibniz who published it under the title Aenigma architectonico-geometricum Florentia (1692) and dedicated it, too, to Prince Ferdinand. The nature of the intersection of cylinder and hemisphere continued to occupy mathematicians until recent times; contributions to the discussion include Gregorius Maettig Kloss¿ Einige Anwendungen des Florentiner Problems (1856), or Leopold Klein¿s Über das Sogenannte Vivianische Fenster (1915). Viviani¿s work includes seven new geometrical problems of a similar nature, most involving the intersection planes and solid objects and their squares. It is notable that even at this advanced age, when Viviani had built a solid reputation on his own and Galileo had been dead for 50 years, the author signs his work, and heads every page of it, with ¿Ultimo Scolare [last disciple] del Galileo.¿ OCLC: Burndy, Chicago, Cornell, Harvard, Linda Hall, * Cinti 164 (mentioning the cancel on p. 17); Riccardi I.628-8.

Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY VIVIANI TO MARIOTTE. The true first edition, very rare, signed and inscribed by Viviani to Edme Mariotte, of this important Galileanum, an assembly of previously unpublished writings by Galileo, together with texts by Torricelli and Viviani himself. Most importantly, it contains the first printing of a Galileo manuscript concerned with the Eudoxian theory of proportion which may be regarded as a supplement to the Discorsi (1638); the manuscript had been given to Viviani (1622-1703), Galileo's distinguished pupil, amainuensis, and biographer, by Cardinal de' Medici. Galileo had composed this manuscript in response to Viviani's demand that Galileo provide a more secure geometrical basis for his theory of falling bodies. As Galileo wrote to Benedetto Castelli in 1639, 'Objections made to me many months ago by this young man [Viviani] who is now my guest and disciple, against that principle postulated by me in my treatise on accelerated motion . made me think about this again in such a way as to persuade him that that principle might be conceded as true. Finally, to his and my great delight, I succeeded in finding a conclusive demonstration" (Boschiero, pp. 43-44). The manuscript had been dictated, in dialogue form, by Galileo to Torricelli in November 1641 (Galileo died on January 9, 1642). Since Torricelli's book on the theory of proportion (written in 1647) was not published, this edition by Viviani of Galileo's Fifth Day of the Discorsi (pp. 61-78) is the first printing of Galileo's reform of Book V of the Elements. It contains "Galileo's reflections on two definitions found in Euclid's Elements, that of 'same ratio' in Book V, and that of 'compound ratio' on Book VI. These were the two most important keys taken from antiquity in creating Galileo's mathematical physics . Galileo's critique of these definitions is by no means trivial. His discussion of Book V, Definition V, shows how a rigorous theory of irrational magnitudes can be built on the natural numbers by means of equimultiples . That is a large step in formulating a rigorous analysis of the continuum. His discussion of the spurious Book VI, Definition V illuminates the nature of mathematical definitions in general, essential to foundational analysis" (Drake, pp. 421-422). Galileo's treatise is prefaced by Viviani's own attempt to render more rigorous the theory of proportions, which includes ten new principles (pp. 1-60). The work also includes 12 letters from Galileo to an unnamed French scholar, an unpublished treatise by Galileo on the 'angle of contact', other unpublished works by Galileo on topics including the construction and use of telescopes and the movement of animals, and writings by Torricelli on Euclid, Book VI, and by Viviani on Euclid, Book I. A second edition was issued in 1676, with a second part containing the solution of 36 problems which had been published as challenges by a Leiden student in 1675, and with the dedication dated 16 May 1676, although the title page date remained 1674. The first edition is very rare: ABPC/RBH list only this copy since 1961. Institutional holdings are difficult to assess as collations are rarely given and the title page carries the same date in both editions. Provenance: Edme Mariotte, French physicist known for formulating Boyle's law independently - "honored as the man who introduced experimental physics into France, Mariotte played a central role in the work of the Paris Academy of Sciences from shortly after its formation in 1666 until his death in 1684" (DSB) (inscribed by Viviani on title verso 'A Monsieur Mariotte' and 'Vinc. Viviani' at bottom right); inscription of a Jesuit seminary on half-title recto, shelf-marks on front endpapers. "Viviani (1622-1703) was the son of Jacopo di Michelangelo Viviani, a member of the noble Franchi family, and Maria Alamanno del Nente. He studied the humanities with the Jesuits and mathematics with Settimi, a friend of Galileo's. His intelligence and ability led to his presentation in 1638 to Ferdinand II de' Medici, grand duke of Tuscany. Ferdinand introduced him to Galileo, who was so impressed by his talent that he took him into his house at Arcetri as a collaborator in 1639" (DSB). "Often described as 'Galileo's last student,' Viviani is a principal actor in the standard account of the reception of the Two New Sciences, included for his devotion to his late teacher and for the volume of textual material he preserved and produced . Viviani is often considered in tandem with another of Galileo's students, Evangelista Torricelli. Torricelli and Viviani served successively in Galileo's former position as mathematician to the Grand Duke of Tuscany . After Galileo's death, both Viviani and Torricelli continued to work with Galileo's unpublished manuscripts. They developed some of these writings into two additional 'days' to augment the 1638 publication. The Fifth Day was published in 1674 by Viviani as Quinto Libro degli Elementi d'Euclide ovvero Scienza Universale delle Proporzioni (Raphael, pp. 47-48). "During the last months of Galileo's life, as Viviani embarked on a career inside the Tuscan Court, they worked together in order to strengthen the role of mathematics in natural philosophy . The topic they worked on together to achieve this was the geometrical demonstration of accelerating falling bodies. Galileo's and Viviani's combined efforts to illustrate accelerated motion on inclined planes, resulting in the scholium Viviani added to the Third Day of Two New Sciences, became a major part of Viviani's education, shaping the natural philosophical skills, commitments, and agendas he was to use during his entire career . "To complete his dynamical analysis of the ratios of speeds of bodies falling down differently inclined planes, [Galileo] wrote the following postulate; a critical part of his mathematical demonstration of the physical phenomenon of accelerating falling bodies: the body always reaches the same sp.

Erstausgabe
Two full-page engraved plates on one double-page sheet, two woodcut plates, & numerous woodcut diagrams in the text. Woodcut of Medici arms on titles which are printed in red & black. Two parts in one vol. 8 p.l., 154 pp.; 2 p.l., 154 pp., one leaf of errata. Folio, cont. vellum over boards (a bit of foxing). Florence: J. Cocchini, 1659. First edition and a splendid copy of the author's first book in which Viviani attempted a reconstruction of the important fifth book of Apollonius' Conics, a text at that time lost. The Conics was in eight books, but only the first four have come down to us in the original Greek. There was some knowledge of the fifth book due to hints supplied by other Greek mathematicians and it was this information which Viviani used. While Viviani was working on his reconstruction of the fifth book, Borelli discovered in an Arabic manuscript in the Medicean Library the text of books five through seven (book eight is lost). These were then translated into Latin by Borelli and Ecchellensis and were published in 1661. The similarity between Viviani's reconstruction and the actual text was very great. It is Book V which has particularly evoked the admiration of modern mathematicians. It "reveals better than any other the giant intellect of its author. Difficult questions of maxima and minima?are here treated exhaustively?Here are also found the germs of the subject of evolutes and centres of osculation."-Cajori, History of Mathematics, pp. 40-41-(on Apollonius). In this book, Viviani also "published his results on what is now called the Steiner problem (although the designation Fermat problem would be more appropriate) as an appendix to his celebrated reconstruction of the fifth book of Apollonius's Conic Sections where the ancient author treated maximum and minimum problems related to conic sections."-Hildebrant & Tromba, The Parsimonious Universe, p. 92. Viviani (1622-1703), a disciple and biographer of Galileo, established his reputation with this work. Fine, crisp, and large copy with half-title. Preserved in a box. ? Cinti 135.

First edition of the first published work by Viviani, ?the most able restitution of the lost Fifth Book of the Conic Sections of Apollonius Pergaeus, made previously to the discovery of Borelli of its existence in an Arabic Version'. (Libri Cat., Auction 1861, nr.3138) Vincenzo Viviani (Florence 1622 ? 1702) was a disciple of Galileo and lived with him in Arcetri for three years. ?Throughout his life, one of Viviani's main interests was in ancient Greek mathematics. As early as 1646, while collaborating with Torricelli, he was also working on a project to restore the work of Aristaeus the Elder. Pappus gave Aristaeus great credit for a work entitled Five Books concerning Solid Loci which had been lost. (Solid Loci is the Greek term for conic sections.) Pappus, however, indicated propositions from the work and Viviani reconstructed the original from these references by Pappus. It was a project that Viviani worked on for most of his life. In 1673 he published a first edition of his restoration but he continued to work on it and his final effort De locis solidis secunda divinatio geometrica in quinque libros iniuria temporum amissos tristaei senioris geometrae was published in 1701 only, two years before his death. Another restoration of a Greek text by Viviani is interesting for a number of reasons. This was his restoration of the fifth book of Apollonius's Conics. At the time he began the restoration only the first four books of this eightbook work had been found and Viviani set about reconstructing the fifth. By 1656 Viviani's work was quite close to completion when Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (a fellow Tuscan Court mathematician) discovered an Arabic version of the first seven books of Apollonius's Conics in the Laurentian Library in Florence. Borelli took the manuscript to Rome where it was translated into Latin by Abrahamus Ecchellensis. In 1659 both the translation from the Arabic and Viviani's restoration were published. Viviani's work was entitled De maximis et minimis geometrica Divinatio and was certainly written by him without any knowledge of the translation of Apollonius's work. It is interesting, of course, to see how faithfully Viviani was able to reconstruct Apollonius's book since now both the reconstruction and the original had become available. Viviani had done an excellent job, his biggest ?error' being that he had been able to penetrate deeper than Apollonius himself. The realisation that Viviani was, in some sense, a better geometer than the revered Apollonius, gave him instant fame throughout the centres of learning in Europe. His reputation as a mathematician was high throughout Europe. Louis XIV of France offered him a position at the Académie Royale in 1666, and John II Casimir of Poland offered Viviani a post as his astronomer, also in 1666. The Grand Duke, not wishing to lose Viviani, appointed him as his mathematician. Viviani accepted this post and turned down the offers from Louis XIV and John II Casimir'.
