Nel 1675 l'ingegnere olandese Cornelis Meyer e il suo connazionale Gaspar van Wittel, giovane pittore agli esordi, percorrono le sponde del Tevere tra Perugia e Roma tracciando numerosi schizzi della campagna umbra e laziale e una serie di studi per rendere navigabile il fiume. Commentario a cura di Marco Guardo. Rome, Biblioteca dell'Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana, 34K 16 (Cors. 1227).

Un foglio stampato su due lati, cm. 39 x 49, proveniente dal celebre volume di Meyer, "L'arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere" (Roma, Camera apostolica, 1683). In queste pagine l'ingegnere descrive la storia del porto di Ancona, il suo declino in conseguenza dell'innalzamento del suo fondo, ed espone un progetto di recupero dello stesso. Il testo è stampato su due facciate, e su una delle due troviamo la grande veduta incisa della città e del porto. Condizioni non perfette, lacuna restaurata nella parte centrale.This leaf, printed on both sides, derives from the notorius Meyer's work: "L'arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere" (Roma, Camera apostolica, 1683). In these pages the engineer tells about the Ancona port, and about its downhill, suggesting a project to retrieve it. A big etched sight of the city and its port. A restored gap in leaf's central area.

Il foglio (cm. 50 x 38,5) deriva dal volume del Meyer ("L'arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere") ma - come nel volume - include la dicitura dello stampatore (Tinassi). Vistoso restauro al centro della pagina.This leaf, printed on both sides, derives from the notorius Meyer's work: "L'arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere" (Roma, Camera apostolica, 1683). As like in the volume, the etching includes the printer's note (Tinassi). Restoration at center of the leaf.

In Folio (402x273); pagg. (4), pagg. (44) con 20 illustrazioni a met? pagina (fra cui quella con la figura del drago al frontespizio), una pianta di Livorno a doppia pagina, una carta geografica a doppia pag. delle province di Bologna, Ravenna e Ferrara, una tavola a met? pagina su due pagine, raffigurante l'eclissi del primo satellite di Giove e due tavole a piena pagina, ciascuna divisa in tre parti, tutte incise in rame da Wouters su disegno dello stesso Meyer. Legatura in mezza pergamena settecentesca e piatti in cartone rigido azzurro. Edizione originale della prima parte di questa opera, assai complessa nella sua pubblicazione (questa prima parte ad esempio fu edita sette anni dopo la seconda e di conseguenza considerata completa a se). Dedica al Granduca di Toscana Cosimo III. L'opera fu pubblicata, come spiega il Meyer nella prefazione al lettore, per reazione all'edizione non autorizzata di una traduzione francese del suo "Arte di restituire a Roma la tralasciata navigazione del suo Tevere" che Stephane Michallet editÚ nel 1693. Le belle e curiose tavole raffigurano le invenzioni dell'autore per la "perfezione dell'architettura idraulica", ordigni per scavare pali, modi di eliminare i sassi sotto acqua, di condurre le acque sorgenti nelle citt?, macchine per dragare porti, la calamita, ed inoltre la gi? citata eclissi, gli occhiali ed altro. Buon esemplare con qualche fioritura arrossamento del tutto normali nei libri di Meyer. Sguardie rinnovate. Rossetti, III 7023b; Olschki, Choix, XI, 17589.
