GALGEMAIR, Georg. Organon Logikon Kurtzer Grundlicher Warhaffter Gebesserter Und Verme Unterricht Zuberaitung Und Gebrauch, Dess Circkels Schregmess Und Lineal In Wahrer Proportion. Frankfurt, Johann Weh, 1654 In 4to; mm.190x160; Coeval vellum binding; Pages 8, 128 and 4 fold-out plates outside text ,1 printed numerical table on page 14 in the text and numerous xyl. engraved figures in the text; gora throughout volume. Sophisticated specimen. Rare edition by German physicist and anatomist Johann Remmelin. The work describes the construction and use of three different instruments, a proportional compass and two types of geometrical or military compasses. The first part is devoted to the construction and use of the reduction compass in plane and solid geometry, the second and third parts deal with the proportion compass, with a detailed description of Benjamin Bramer's rule of proportions. The book also contains a section on measurement and examines different methods for determining the volume of barrels.Originally published only 4 years after Galileo's "Compasses" (1606), the work partially reformulates Galileo's text but also contains the first illustrated description of a large German proportional compass with 9 lines, some invented by Galgemair himself: lineae fundamentalis, linea recta, linea circularis, geometrical line, stereometric line, astronomical line and a special line for 'reductio planorum, corporum'.It was Clavius who published the first and brief description of a proportional compass in 1604. In 1606, in " Le operazioni del compasso geometrico et militare," Galileo described a proportional compass of his own invention, now known as Galileo's proportional compass. Galgemair's work presents the first illustrated description of the first German proportional compass. Interestingly, the folded table depicting the two sides of Galgemair's section is life-size: the compass measures 28 cm.Editions printed in Augsburg: Johann Klocker, 1633 ("anjetzo aber zum drittenmal auffgelegt und Gedruckt") and Augsburg: Johann Wehe, 1655 ("anjetzo aber Zum virttenmal auffgelegt und Gedruckt") are recorded by VD17 (VD17 12:155110K; VD17 23:323920V, see lot 195), but not the present edition, printed by Wehe with Frankfurt am Main address, and similarly "ansetzo aber zum vierdten mal auffgelegt." Here the title is in letterpress and inserted in a woodcut compartment; Wehe's 1655 edition has a fully engraved title.Tomash & Williams R72; not in VD17. 4to, 190x160 mm. Contemporary vellum binding. Pages 8, 128 and 4 folded plates outside the text, 1 numerical plate printed on page 14 in the text, and numerous woodcut figures in the text. Dampstain throughout the volume. Unsophisticated copy. Rare edition by the German physicist and anatomist Johann Remmelin. The work describes the construction and use of three different instruments, a proportional compass and two types of sector.The first part is devoted to the construction and use of proportional dividers in plane and solid geometry, the second and third parts deal with the sector, and include a detailed description of Benjamin Bramer's instrument. The book also contains a section on gauging. Originally published only four years after Galileo's Compasso (1606), the work partially paraphrases Galileo's text but also contains the first illustrated description of a large German sector with 9 lines, some of which were invented by Galgemair: linae fundamentalis, linea rectae, linea circularis, linea geometrica, linea stereometrica, linea astronomica and a special line for reductio planorum, corporum. Clavius was the first to publish a - brief - description of a sector in 1604. In 1606, in Le operazioni del compasso geometrico et militare, Galileo described a sector of his own invention, now known as Galileo's sector. Galgemair's work is the first illustrated description of the first German sector. It is noteworthy that the folding plate representing the two sides of Galgemair's sector is in real size : the sector measures 28 cm folded.Editions printed at Augsburg: Johann Klocker, 1633 ("anjetzo aber zum drittenmal auffgelegt und Gedruckt") and Augsburg: Johann Wehe, 1655 ("anjetzo aber Zum virttenmal auffgelegt und Gedruckt") are recorded by VD17 (VD17 12:155110K; VD17 23:323920V, see lot 195), but not the present edition, which was printed by Wehe with a Frankfurt am Main address, and likewise "ansetzo aber zum vierdten mal auffgelegt." Here, the title is in letterpress and set within a woodcut compartment; Wehe's 1655 edition features a fully engraved title.

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.
