GALILEI, Galileo. Treatise on the sphere... In Rome, for Nicolò Angelo Tinassi, at the expense of Domenico Grialdi libraro, 1656 In-12mo. 134x70 mm. Coeval full vellum binding, manuscript title on spine. Pages [16], 296, [4]. Marks. : A⁸ A-M¹² N⁴ χ². Last blank c. Engraved allegorical frontispiece, 2 copper-engraved plates, 2 fold-out printed tables. Unreadable ink lettering to the counterplate and Antiport. Good state of preservation. Rare Editio Princeps. Work issued posthumously edited by Urbano d'Aviso who signs his name with the pseudonym Buonardo Savi. Work divided into two parts: the first part is a printing of the manuscript of Galileo's Treatise, owned by Bonaventura Cavalieri; the second part contains a series of astronomical problems based on the Treatise that were devised for his students by Bonaventura Cavalieri, who had studied with Galileo in Padua and who, throughout his life, always considered himself Galileo's disciple. The volume concludes with a series of directions on how to map the heavens. Galileo composed this treatise at the end of the 16th century and used it as part of his teaching: it is a short and elementary geocentric astronomical treatise whose content and structure generally follow Johannes de Sacrobosco's medieval Tractatus de sphæra and is probably inspired by Piccolomini's Sphere of the World.
