(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). Small worm gallery at the upper corner of the introductory leaves, upper margin of the title with erased hs. entry.
