Manfredi Eustachio. Elementi della Geometria piana e solida e della Trigonometria. Opera postuma... In Bologna: Nella Stamperia di Lelio dalla Volpe, [dopo il 1755]. 4° (250x187 mm). [2], 137-173, [1] pages. Lacking the last blank leaf; complete with the second half-title, introducing the Trigonometria. Woodcut initials and tailpieces. Engraved vignette on fol. A1r. 17 folfing engravings hors texte (12 illustrating the Geometria piana; 2 the Geometria solida, and 3 the Trigonometria; a few foxing, small stains, and spots). Foxing and spotting throughout. Some early ink stains, finger marks. Half-title browned, with repair to the blank upper outer corner, without any loss. Repair to the title-page. Contemporary half-leather, marbled covers. Smooth spine, gilt tooled. Title in gold on green leather lettering piece. Edges speckled red. Corners slightly worn, a few scratches. On the front pastedown shelfmark in a nineteenth-century hand.  Second edition of the Elementi by the Bolognese mathematician Manfredi (1674-1739), supplemented with some propositions concerning solid geometry, which had been not included in the previous edition of 1755, edited by Manfredi's brother Eraclito. The new publication was edited by Eustachio Zanotti. The copy is complete with the half-title, often lacking in the recorded copies, and which announces the Elementi della Geometria piana e solida e della Trigonometria as the first volume (Tomo primo) of Manfredi's complete Mathematical Works (Opere Matematiche), a publishing initiative which was never completed.In-4° (mm 250x187). Pagine [2], 137-173, [1], manca l'ultima carta bianca, ma è presente la seconda carta di occhietto, a introdurre la Trigonometria. Iniziali e finalini xilografici, vignetta calcografica in testa alla carta A1r. Con 17 tavole fuori testo, incise su rame e ripiegate (12 relative alla Geometria piana; 2 alla Geometria solida, e 3 alla Trigonometria; con fioriture, macchioline, e qualche alone). Diffuse fioriture e aloni. Alcune macchie di antico inchiostro, e tracce d'uso. Brunita la carta di occhietto, con restauro all'angolo superiore esterno bianco, senza alcuna perdita di testo. Mancante la marca tipografica al frontespizio, lacuna risarcita con tassello cartaceo. Legatra coeva in mezza pelle con angoli, piatti marmorizzati. Dorso liscio diviso in scomparti da filetti in oro, decorato con piccoli ferri floreali. Titolo in oro su tassello in pelle verde. Tagli spruzzati in rosso. Leggere sbucciature agli angoli, minima abrasione della pelle in corrispondenza del taglio di piede. Al contropiatto anteriore una mano ottocentesca ha annotato la collocazione del volume. Seconda, e più completa edizione degli Elementi del matematico bolognese Manfredi (1674-1739), pubblicata senza indicazione della data di stampa. Nel preliminare avviso al lettore il tipografo Lelio dalla Volpe si richiama alla sua precedente edizione del 1755, curata dal fratello dell'autore Eraclito, priva però di alcune proposizioni relative alla geometria dei solidi. Di qui la necessià di procedere a una nuova e accresciuta edizione del trattato, ora curata da Eustachio Zanotti. La carta di occhietto - spesso mancante negli esemplari noti, e qui conservata - precisa che questa edizione costituisce in realtà il Tomo primo delle Opere Matematiche di Manfredi, un progetto editoriale che però non vedrà se non la stampa di questo primo volume. Un ignoto possessore del presente esemplare ha coperto con un tassello cartaceo la menzione Tomo Primo, a voler quindi evidenziare tale particolarità editoriale.

"The book is rather an absolutely independent work, quite different from and unrelated to the author's large anatomy. Its subject is the textures of the different parts of the human body as compared with the texture of the organs of animals and plants. It contains a great number of different figures, most of which are intended to illustrate Mascagni's view as to the vascular nature of the texture of organs. The work is beautifully printed, the very fine title-vignette shows a portrait of Mascagni..." (Choulant-Frank, 316). I: In-folio (mm 464x325). Pagine [16], 194, [2], CII, [2].

[*]3r full-page portrait of the dedicatee Giorgio Clerici, engraved by Giovanni Battista Sintes. Woodcut decorated initials, head- and tailpieces. A good, uncut copy. Occasionally foxed, some browning, a few finger marks and paper flaws. Heavy spot to the leaves of the second volume; in the third volume the lower blank margin of some leavesa bit solied. Contemporary cardboards, with running stitches. Smooth spines, titles inked by an early hand. Covers slightly stained, a few wears. Contemporary annotations on the front flyleaves.  Important historical tretise by Cardinal Sforza Pallavicino (1607-1667), first issued between 1656 and 1657; an enlarged three-volume edition appeared in 1664. The work aims to offer the 'official' version of the sessions and issues of the Council of Trent, in order to counterbalance the history published in 1619 by Pailo Sarpi, and to ascribe the responsability of the Schism entirelyly to Lutherans.Un'opera in tre volumi in-4° (mm 207x151). I. Pagine [28], 862, [56] II. Pagine [8], 806, [78]. III. [8], presenti le carte bianche Lllll4 e Sssss6. III. Pagine [8], 885, [71]. Presenti la carta bianca [π]1 e Xxxxx5. Alla Parte prima antiporta con ritratto dell'autore inciso da A. Luciani, frontespizio in rosso e nero; alla carta [*]3r tavola con ritratto calcografico del dedicatario Giorgio Clerici, opera dell'incisore Giovanni Battista Sintes. Iniziali decorate, testatine e finalini xilografici. Buon esemplare, in barbe. Sporadiche fioriture, bruniture, minime tracce d'uso, e qualche fallo di carta. Evidente alone alle carte del secondo volume, tracce di sporco al margine inferiore bianco di alcune carte del terzo volume. Legatura coeva in cartonato, cuciture dei nervi passanti. Dorsi lisci, con titolo vergato in inchiostro bruno da mano coeva. Qualche macchia ai piatti, qualche abrasione ai dorsi. Annotazioni di mano coeva alle carte di guardia anteriori. Importante opera storiografica, data originariamente alle stampe dal cardinale Sforza Pallavicino (1607-1667) tra il 1656 e il 1657 e in versione accresciuta, in tre tomi, nel 1664. Il gesuita si accinse a tale ambiziosa impresa su incarico di Innocenzo X, allo scopo di offrire una versione 'ufficiale' dei lavori del Concilio di Trento, da opporre a quella edita nel 1619 dal servita Paolo Sarpi. Pallavicino ebbe quindi accesso privilegiato alla documentazione conservata nell'Archivio Vaticano, al contrario di Sarpi, che aveva basato la propria ricostruzione sul materiale conservato negli archivi veneziani. La polemica con Sarpi appare evidente fin dalle prime pagine, come chiara è la finalità apolegetica della narrazione dei lavori conciliari, nel tentativo di imputare la responsabilità dello scisma ai soli protestanti.

Ex libris of Alberto Francesco Floncel on the front pastedown and to the verso of both title-pages.  First and rare edition - in a precious presentation copy - of this popular and highly interesting novel by the physician and writer Francesco Pona (1595-1655), which narrates the adventures of the 'condottiero' Ormondo and his beloved Rosidora, on the background of the wars between England and Scotland. The volume also contains the rare first edition of the first work in print by the prolific writer from Parma Ferrante Pallavicino (1615-1644). The Il sole ne' pianeti is a panegyric of the venetian Republic.Due opere legate in un volume in-4° (mm 200x148). I: Pagine [8], 204, [4]: Marca tipografica xilografica al frontespizio.

L'opera è assai interessante poiché propone tutto il repertorio topico della narrazione romanzesca barocca: le stesse avventure dei protagonisti sono ridotte a semplice cornice di cinque autonomi inserti novellistici. Il volume, impreziosito dall'invio autografo di Francesco Pona, accoglie anche la rara prima edizione dell'opuscolo che inaugurò l'intensa attività letteraria dello scrittore parmense Ferrante Pallavicino (1615-1644), Il sole ne' pianeti, un panegirico in lode di Venezia che gli fu utile per entrare nei favori della classe dirigente della Repubblica di San Marco.

Schneider Cup related books and ephemera collection. The Coupe d'Aviation Maritime Jacques Schneider, commonly called the Schneider Trophy or Schneider Prize was a trophy awarded annually (and later, biannually) to the winner of a race for seaplanes and flying boats. The race was held twelve times between 1913 and 1931. It was intended to encourage technical advances in civil aviation but became a contest for pure speed with laps over a (usually) triangular course (initially 280 km, later 350 km). The contests were very popular and some attracted crowds of over 200,000 spectators. The race was significant in advancing aeroplane design, particularly in the fields of aerodynamics and engine design, and would show its results in the best fighters of World War II.
