Catalogue Note
FIRST EDITION of Marinari's treatise, dedicated to Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici, the founder of the Accademia del Cimento. Marinari (1627-1716) is better known as an artist, having been apprenticed to Carlo Dolci.
RARE. We have not been able to trace a copy of this work sold at auction since 1960, and it is not listed by ICCU. Both Houzeau & Lancaster and Riccardi list editions from 1670, but there are no 1670 editions listed on Worldcat so it is assumed that the 1670 edition is a ghost.
