MICALORI, James. Della Sfera Mondiale Libri Quattro. Urbino, Mazzantini, 1626. In-4to, mm. 250x155; Coeval rustic-style hardback binding; Is. [8], 139,[5]. Frontispiece in red and black with woodcut of armillary sphere, numerous astronomical figures xyl. in text. Two coeval hand signatures to title page. Some slight traces of use, copy in good condition. Very rare edition. The work, opposed to judicial astrology, aims to summarize the then most popular notions of astronomy, cosmography, and astronomical geography, with mention of the telescope and zodiac; interesting astronomical figures adorning the text. Cinti devotes a lengthy note to this book. Riccardi knows of only this one edition, but reports two earlier ones cited by Urbino biographers; however, no editions earlier than this one appear in the Opac census, nor do they appear in Word-Cat and the repertories consulted.
