Description

Important manuscript - early 18th century. Important manuscript of about 550 pages, dealing with: Metaphysics and philosophy; ethics and morals; physics, mechanics, statics; chemistry and botany; physiology; astronomy. Text in Latin. Each part proceeds in the same way: definition of the problem. Discussion. Reasoned exposition of solutions. Conclusions. In particular, a lengthy 16-page development on the validity of COPERNIC's system versus PTOLEME's system. This manuscript has been assembled from several bound booklets of similar, but not identical, format. As a result, some pages have been trimmed short. Very legible writing, with clearly marked chapters. Numerous diagrams throughout. No erasures, this is a clean copy of a substantial body of knowledge, based on thematic studies.
