Provenance : unidentified cardinal (binding) -- Biblioteca del Mottarello (booklabel). PROBABLE FIRST EDITION OF THE SECOND PART and second edition, emended, of the first part. Riccardi claims that the first part was first issued in 1686 but Carli and Favaro prefer a date of 1688. Riccardi's citation of a 1685 edition of the second part is also doubted and no copy has been traced. Both works deal with the gravitational theories of Galileo and Torricelli. Carli-Favaro 88 (372); Riccardi I 604.
