Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Antonella Galli e Alessandro Boella.Roma, 2012; br., pp. 256, ill., cm 15,5x21,5.(Biblioteca Ermetica). Sono qui presentate le parti più importanti del "Libro del Cavalier Borri dove si descrivano molte operazioni de secreti della natura", manoscritto del XVIII secolo conservato alla Biblioteca Reale dell'Aja. I motivi di eccezionale interesse per questa sorta di prontuario, che porta il nome di Giuseppe Francesco Borri (1627-1695), il più noto alchimista italiano dell'età barocca, sono molteplici, primo fra tutti il fatto che esso chiarisce molti aspetti della prassi alchimica specificata in funzione terapeutica, senza contare il suo notevolissimo interesse storico-scientifico. Compilato da mano ignota, sulla base di indicazioni orali o scritte forse fornite dal Borri stesso negli ultimi anni della sua vita trascorsi nelle carceri di Castel Sant'Angelo, questo manuale comprende la preparazione dell'oro potabile, del famoso e ambitissimo balsamo cattolico, dell'acqua celeste, del grande arcano ovvero Mestruo, di varie quinte essenze ed elixir. Il Borri fece vita avventurosa in tutta Europa ed ebbe accesso a fonti di conoscenza privilegiate che, associate a un'innata inclinazione mistico-visionaria, contribuirono a farne una figura complessa e affascinante, troppo spesso bistrattata, sia dai suoi contemporanei che dai suoi biografi più o meno recenti. I curatori di quest'opera hanno voluto ampliare questo orizzonte, svolgendo ricerche in biblioteche e archivi europei. Libro.…

Brossura editoriale. Catalogo della mostra alla galleria Pesaro di Milano dell'aprile 1932. Conservata all'interno brochure sciolta di 8 pagine con elenco delle opere esposte. La Galleria Pesaro venne fondata a Milano nel 1917 dal collezionista Lino Pesaro - un conservatore ancora legato ai filoni figurativi ottocenteschi - negli ambienti del Palazzo Poldi Pezzoli in Via Manzoni. Attivita' preponderante dei primi tempi fu l'organizzazione di aste di opere d'arte provenienti da collezioni pubbliche e private. Divenne in seguito uno dei principali centri artistici e culturali in ambito milanese e nazionale, al punto da dimostrare a livello internazionale la centralita' di Milano nel mondo artistico italiano. L'attivita' si concluse tragicamente il 31 dicembre 1937 con la 'Mostra dei sette di Brera', a causa del suicidio di Lino Pesaro, di origini ebraiche. ITA.…

(14,5 x 8 cm). (24 (2w)) 382 (1) S. Pergamentband im Stil der Zeit. Einzige Ausgabe. - Der aus einer angesehenen adeligen Mailänder Familie stammende Borri (1627-1695), Schüler von Athanasius Kircher, war Page im Vatikan und studierte nebenbei Alchemie und Chemie. Von der Inquisition angeklagt, floh er zuerst in die Schweiz und dann weiter nach Straßburg und Amsterdam. Dort praktizierte er als Alchemist und Arzt und hatte besonders mit seiner Syphilis-Behandlung große Erfolge. Nach Hamburg geflohen, lehrte er dort die Ex-Königin Christine von Schweden in Alchemie und anderen geheimen Wissenschaften. In Dänemark erhielt er die Stellung als Hofalchemist. Auf seinem Weg in die Türkei wurde er in Wien festgenommen und nach Rom ausgeliefert. In einer Wohnung in der Engelsburg setzte er seine alchemistischen Versuche bis zu seinem Tode fort. "If the stories told about him be true, he was a notably successful surgeon; and as for his chemistry Borrichius calls him 'celeberrimus experimentis chemicis' in his 'Dissertationes'. But elsewhere he goes far beyond that, and says that if he was later in time than Caneparius and Sala and other Italians, he was far before them 'in the exhaustless capacity of his great genius, the Phoenix of Nature, and the glory not only of his own Italy but of Europe'. Of which, if only a percentage be correct, he must have displayed qualities to Borrichius which do not appear in his writings or in the biography which has reached us" (Ferguson). - Durchgehend stockfleckig und etwas gebräunt, sonst gut erhalten. - Ferguson I, 117; VD17 39:117041B; Kopp II, 235; Schmieder 463; Rosenthal BMP 172; Brüning 2468.…

4to [ca. 190 x 145 mm]; (4), 68 pages, with engraved title vignette and 7 woodcuts (ophthalmological instruments and eye glasses) in the text. Contemporary vellum. Some browning, title page with marginal restorations. -------------- The first book dealing with the chemical constitution of the brain. -------------------------- FIRST EDITION. The book divides in two parts. The first deals with the chemical constitution of the brain, in which Borri states, that about seventy five percent of the total weight of the human brain consists of water, the rest are fatty materials. Whilst Descartes (1662), Willis (1664) and Steno (1665) gave attention to the brain function, it was Borri who was the first to formulate a theory on the chemical constitution of the brain. Borri's thesis obviously was affected by the uprising scientific debate on the subject. Only in 1719, Johann Thomas Hensing published his celebrated ,Cerebri examen chemicum", which applies to be the first comprehensive chemical examination of the brain. Not until in the 1950s, neurochemistry became a recognized scientific research discipline. --------------------------- In the second part Borri explains his method of the restitution of the eye fluid by infusion of celandine juice, a secret which he claims to have obtained from the ,English chemist" Sir Robert Southwell. Borri's letter is followed by illustrations of different ophthalmological instruments and eyeglasses with explanations. At the end the author's invention is praised in a poem by the Danish physician and chemist Ole Borch. ------------------------------ Whilst the first part of the book was overlooked by most scientists, the second part caused quite a sensation in the ophthalmological world at the time of its appearance. Although Borri's method was proved ineffective, it led to important discoveries in the field of ophthalmological research. --------------------------- Giuseppe Francesco Borri (1627 Milan - 1695 Rome) was an Italian adventurer, alchemist, prophet and doctor. He was a pupil of Athanasius Kircher at the Jesuit Seminary in Rome. As leader of a student revolt, he was expelled from the school in 1649. He became page in the Vatican and by the way studied alchemy and chemistry, in doing so he had contacts with the alchemy-promoting nobleman Massimiliano Palombara and Queen Christina of Sweden. After a cholera outbreak in 1656, he moved to Milan. He ranged in Quietist circles, was accused by the Inquisition and fled to Switzerland in 1659. He was convicted in absentia and burned symbolically on the Campo di Fiore in Rome in 1661. From 1660 on he lived in Amsterdam where in 1661 he became an honorary citizen and made friends with Ole Borch. In 1654 or 1655 he moved to Copenhagen, where he successes at the court of Frederick III. He also received support from Christina of Sweden. After the accession of Christian V in 1670 his reputation sank and he wanted to travel via Austria to Turkey. He was arrested in Moravia and extradited to the pope by Emperor Leopold I, who had him imprisoned in the Castle of St. Angelo. From 1678 he was allowed to move relatively freely and practiced as a doctor. After the death of Christina of Sweden in 1689, his privileges were revoked and he was imprisoned again in 1691 in the Castle of St. Angelo, where he died in 1695 from malaria. ------------------------------------- According to Michael White in Isaac Newton: The Last Sorcerer, Sir Isaac Newton attempted to contact Borri in 1669, through his friend Francis Ashton. -------------------------------------- Very rare. ------------------------ Hirschberg §319 (note); Wellcome II, p. 206; Not in Cushing, Osler, Waller nor in Cat. of Brit.
