(Mersenne, Marin).: Les questions theologiques, physiques, morales et mathematiques. Ou chacun trouvera du contentement ou de l'exercice, Paris, Henry Guenon, 1634. 8 Bl., 240 (ie 242) S. Roter Ledereinband mit goldgepragten Fileten, Eckfleurons, reicher Rückenvergoldung im Stil des 18. Jahrhunderts. Finocchiaro, Retrying Galileo, 1633-1992, 2007, S. 39-4. - Sehr seltene erste Ausgabe der ersten Verteidigung von Galileo Galilei in Frankreich und in franzosischer Sprache. Die erste in Frankreich veröffentlichte Erklärung von Galileis Beobachtungen über die Bewegung der Erde um die Sonne und die Mängel des geozentrischen Systems im Vergleich zum heliozentrischen System. Es ist auch die erste Verteidigung des berühmten Wissenschaftlers, der im Jahr zuvor vom Heiligen Offizium verurteilt worden war. Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), ein Ordensmann des Minimes-Ordens, war der erste Kommentator zu Galilei in Frankreich und spielte eine Schlüsselrolle in der wissenschaftlichen Bewegung seiner Zeit. Er wurde von einigen als "Generalsekretär des gelehrten Europas" bezeichnet und stand im Mittelpunkt eines Kreises, der die bedeutendsten Wissenschaftler seiner Zeit zusammenführte: Descartes, Fermat, Peiresc, Pascal, Huyghens, Gassendi, usw. Seine Fragen befassen sich mit einer Vielzahl von Themen: Längengrad, Quadratur des Kreises, Kegelschnitte, Metalle, Licht, Optik, usw. Die Darstellung der Entdeckungen Galileis nimmt S. 201-228 ein, begleitet von der französischen Übersetzung des von den Kardinälen gegen ihn und seine Werke ausgesprochenen Tadels. "[...] er [Mersenne] ist durch seine Verteidigung Galileis am bekanntesten geworden" (John Lewis, Galileo in France, French Reactions to the The Theories and Trial of Galileo, 2006, S. 12). Kleine Wurmgalerie in der oberen Ecke der einleitenden Blätter, Oberrand des Titels mit gelöschtem hs. Eintrag. - Theological, physical, moral, and mathematical questions. Where everyone will find contentment, or exercise. Paris, Henry Guenon, 1634. First edition. The first statement published in France of Galileo's observations on the movement of the Earth around the Sun and the flaws of the geocentric system in relation to the heliocentric system. It is also the first defence of the illustrious scientist, who had been condemned by the Holy Office the previous year. Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), a religious of the Minimes order, was the first commentator on Galileo in France and played a key role in the scientific movement of his time. Nicknamed by some as the "secretary general of learned Europe", he was at the centre of a circle that brought together the most eminent scientists of the time: Descartes, Fermat, Peiresc, Pascal, Huyghens, Gassendi, etc. His Questions deal with a variety of subjects: longitude, squaring the circle, conic sections, metals, light, optics, etc. The exposition of Galileo's discoveries occupies pp. 201-228, accompanied by the French translation of the censure pronounced by the cardinals against him and his works. "[...] it is in his defence of Galileo that he [Mersenne] became best known" (John Lewis, Galileo in France, French Reactions to the Theories and Trial of Galileo, 2006, p. 12).

(Ohne die vier Schliessen; kleine Wurmlöcher; Kapitale ausgerissen; berieben und fleckig). Adams P-1685. Ahmanson-Murphy Coll. I, 31 und 46. Renouard, Annales Alde, S. 24ff.: "Collection infiniment rare et précieuse . le peu d'exemplaires qui restent, sont presque tous plus ou moins incomplets". Ein gutes Exemplar der ersten beiden Bände der Sammlung von Texten frühchristlicher Autoren, von denen eine ganze Anzahl hier erstmals im Druck erscheint - eines der ambitiösesten Druckerzeugnisse von Aldus. Es liegen Schriften vor von Prudentius, Sedulius, Iuvencus, Prosper Aquitanus und zahlreichen anderen. Aldus wollte mit seiner Ausgabe christliche Autoren populär machen, sie vor allem als Lehrstoff an die Schulen und Universitäten bringen, wie er in seinen beiden Vorreden darlegt. "The large-scale edition of the Christian Latin Poets seems to have been turned into a publisher's nightmare by this kind of enthusiasm. The first volume and the first half of the second were in print in January 1501, but the dedication of the second to Daniele Clari carries the date June 1502. Undated works in Greek and Latin, with the quires differently marked, are added at the end of both volumes. The third volume was delayed until June 1504. The most probable explanation is that Aldus had originally planned a fairly modest edition of the shorter works of Sedulius, Juvencus, Arator and Prudentius which would have been contained in a single volume and now stand in the earliest dated section. Then word got around, scholarly enthusiasm took over, and new material started to flow in: first, a more complete manuscript of Prudentius from England, which upset the balance of the volume; then the Greek works of John of Damascus, Cosmas and Epiphanius wehich were in due course translated, edited, and compounded with the first volume. This of course meant rounding off the second volume, so Piercandido Decembrio was deputed to edit and translate the Homerocentra and the two volumes were apparantly published together some eighteenth months late . It was appropriate that the second volume of this confused series was the first to carry Aldus' famous cipher of the dolphin and anchor, the symbol of the ancient proverb 'Hasten slowly' which Aldus has declared his motto as early as 1499 and seems to have expounded regularly to his friends. In 1502, it was in fact, a very neat apparaisal of his position. He had achieved much." (Martin Lowry, The World of Aldus Manutius, 1979, S. 148f.). Sehr qualitätvoller, aber restaurationsbedürftiger zeitgenössischer Venezianer Einband mit schöner Blind- und Goldprägung und speziell schön gepunztem Goldschnitt.
