Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive treatise on the subject of devising a machine that can raise large quantities of water to a significant height to be used for agriculture. The author, considered to be among the leading minds of his time, uses mathematical and natural laws to illustrate the advantages of this machine over any other that has existed up until his day. He begins by acknowledging the importance of water for agriculture and other societal needs, highlighting how civilizations have flourished or suffered based on their ability to secure reliable access to this resource. The author then takes a critical look at existing water-raising machines, explaining their limitations and inefficiencies. Delving into the principles of physics and engineering, he presents his own meticulously designed machine, complete with detailed instructions on its construction and operation. He demonstrates how the machine's unique design harnesses the power of rotating motion and utilizes the natural properties of water to achieve unprecedented water-lifting capabilities. While primarily focused on the technicalities of water elevation, the book also touches upon broader themes such as the relationship between innovation and progress, the role of science in solving practical problems, and the importance of perseverance in the face of challenges. Overall, this book is a testament to the ingenuity and methodical approach of its author and provides valuable insights into the development of water-raising technology, making it essential reading for scholars, engineers, and anyone interested in the history of practical mechanics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

First and only edition of Ceredi's rare and important study of hydraulic mechanics, one of the earliest works on the subject. In this beautifully illustrated work, the 16th-century Italian hydraulic engineer Giuseppe Ceredi describes not only the construction of the Archimedes screw, but also how to improve it and how to use it for the drainage and irrigation of fields, as he considered the devices in use to be inefficient. Although the screw, invented by Archimedes in the 3th century BC, was widely used in the classical antiquity, no clear description or instructions for building it existed in Ceredi's time, though the device was known to him and his contemporaries. With the present work, he tried to improve Archimedes's design and he for the first time published a proposal for a systematic scheme of irrigation, using a standardized mechanical device. Besides improving an old mechanical device, he also considers the economic, health and agricultural aspects of the Archimedes screw. Ceredi's present publication should be considered one of the most important publications in the history of hydraulic science.Binding with only some very small spots.

In 4° ant. (19,8 x 14,5). Pp.(20), 100. Bella marca tipografica al front. Con 4 magnifiche tavole ripiegate in xilografia (f.t. ma comprese nella numerazione). Inoltre 12 illustrazioni su legno n.t. Timbro di antica biblioteca al front.; invisibile tarlo reintegrato al margine superiore di poche carte; leggere bruniture difformi; ottima copia in legatura coeva piena pergamena floscia; titolo ms. al dorso. Non comune unica edizione, dedicata ad Alessandro Farnese, Duca di Parma. Originario di Piacenza, il Ceredi, di cui si conosce un solo altro trattato rimasto incompiuto ed inedito, espone le proprie teorie sul modo di supplire alle carenze idriche di alcune regioni attraverso la lezione di alcuni autori antichi, in particolare Vitruvio ed Archimede. Da quest'ultimo e dalla sua celebre "vite senza fine" l'Autore elabora la propria lezione attraverso la costruzione di una macchina che ne riprende palesemente lo schema. Per l'importanza delle teorie del Ceredi cfr. S. DRAKE/I.E. DRABKIN, Mechanics in XVI Century in Italy, 1969, p. 52: "Ceredi was interested in the construction and use of the Archimedean screw for the irrigation of the fields and the draining of swamps. Results led him to specify a maximum lenght and optimum dimension for the water-channel, to suggest batteries of screws for lifts higher than the efficient maximum lenght and to examine the design of the cranks and other devices for turning the screws". In effetti un attento esame delle tavole f.t. ci mostra una serie di pompe disposte in serie tali da rendere anche possibile l'estrazione di acqua da profondità rilevanti per l'epoca.
