Borelli Bernoulli (7 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Later corrected edition of the one most important treatises of biomechanics, first published in Rome in 1680-1681, issued together with Johann Bernoulli's treatise, influenced by Borelli's iatromathematics, applying mechanics to fermentation, along with his 1694 dissertation De motu musculorum. Two volumes bound in one. 236, (15, index), (1, blank); (4), 314, (11, index), (1, blank) pp. + 19 folding engraved plates. Hardcover, bound in contemporary vellum, title inked on the spine. A few scattered, marginal dampspots, some nicks to the folded plate edges where they extend beyond the fore-edge.

LATER EDITION. Engraved frontispiece, title pages of the two parts of the Borelli work in red and black, and 19 folding plates; interior browned. Contemporary paste-paper boards, worn, speckled edges. Borelli's famous work applying mechanics to muscles (first published posthumously in 1680-81) together with Johann Bernoulli's treatises applying mechanics to fermentation, along with his Dissertation de motu musculorum. This classic work established muscular mechanics as a science and was important in the history of cardiology and circulation. Bernoulli (1667-1748), of the famous Swiss family of mathematicians and physicists, was influenced by Borelli's iatromathematical approach, as he demonstrated in his first paper on fermentation. Dibner, Heralds of Science, 190 (1680-81 ed.); Wellcome, II, p. 204 (other eds.).

Condition: Very Good. 1743. [ii], [iv], [ii], 228, [xviii]; [ii], 253, 45. Two parts together in later binding of brown paper covered board. Gilt particulars to green label to spine. All edges painted teal. Bookplate of the Library of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland to front pastedown; their purple stamp occasionally throughout including to title pages. With several folding plates to rear of book. A nice clean copy without further markings. ; 8vo; All shipments through USPS insured Priority Mail.

LATER EDITION. Half-title to first work, title in red and black, separate title to Bernoulli's dissertation. With 19 plates, woodcut printer's device and initials. Modern 3/4 calf; new endpapers, interior lightly browned. Contemporary ownership inscription on half-title. Interesting ownership brand on top fore-edge.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. 3 parties en 1 vol. in-4, Hagae comitum, Petrum Gosse, 1743, , 3 parties en 1 vol. in-4, front, [10]-228-[18] et [4]-270-[14] pp. ; 45 pp, 19 pl. dépl, Basane de l'époque, dos à nerfs fleuroné, pièce de titre grenat, tranches rouges, Frontispice gravé sur cuivre. Ouvrage publié pour la première fois en 1680. C'est un monument consacré à l'étude du mouvement des muscles et de leurs fonctions. L'édition présentée ici contient des nouvelles figures et, à la fin, un important traité du mathématicien et physicien Daniel Bernoulli sur le même sujet. Élève de Galilée et disciple de Harvey, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (1608-1679) applique les lois de la mécanique aux mouvements du corps; il démontre que les os des membres agissent comme des leviers et que les muscles qui les meuvent doivent être considérés comme des sortes de moteurs. Pour lui, d'autres fonctions comme la digestion, la respiration et la circulation du sang obéissent aussi à des lois purement mécaniques et mathématiques dont il démontre le rythme par des diagrammes chiffrés, parfois très complexes. Plats frottés, coiffes arasées, coins émoussés. Exemplaire provenant de la bibliothèque du mathématicien Michel Chasles.
