Gaspar Schott was a German Jesuit and scientist, specializing in the fields of physics, mathematics and natural philosophy. He taught mathematics and physics at Mainz and Würzburg. During the last years of his life, he decided to publish the material he had collected on scientific subjects both from his own researches and those of others. He produced in eight years (1658-1666) eleven books. The Anatomia physico-hydrostatica is on the ?origin of springs. His own opinion, when finally expressed, amounted to saying that everyone was right: some springs are due to precipitation, some to underground condensation, and some connected directly to the sea? (DSB). The section on the discovery of the source of the Nile contains material related to the discovery of the ?true source of the Nile?

FIRST EDITION. The Earliest Full Description of a "Computing Machine"Two Volumes, Quarto, First Edition. [BECAUSE OF ABE SIZE LIMITATIONS,OUR COMPLETE COLLATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THIS BOOK COULD NOT BE PRINTED HERE. PLEASE EMAIL FOR A COPY OF THAT VERY COMPLETE AND EXHAUSTIVE DESCRIPTION OF THESE TWO LOVELY VOLUMES.]With innumerable printed illustrations and tables throughout the text.The Organum Mathematicum was an information device or teaching machine invented by the Jesuit polymath and scholar, Athanasius Kircher, in the middle of the 17th century. The first published description of the Organum Mathematicum came in this book by Gaspar Schott, who was Kircher's pupil. The book includes excerpts from Kircher's original manual. There are no surviving Organums which closely resemble the device illustrated in Schott's book, but there are three known devices, likely of Jesuit manufacture, which contain essentially the same content.The Organum device - containing approximately twenty-four rods - is described in Schott's book by their functions, separated into nine main "books". Contemporary green boards with handwritten spine labels for the author title and for old library classification. Minor professional repairs have been done to the edges and tips of the bindings. From the private library of Michel'angelo Lambertini (small label on the inside front cover of both volumes). With an occasional older faint library stamp in blue ink (an oval 1¼" wide). The covers are worn (see photo) and the pages are lightly browned throughout, but overall this is a lovely copy of this early seminal work on building a "knowledge machine."

Rappel du titre complet : P. Gaspari Schotti regiscuriani e Societate Jesu, Olim in Panormitano Siciliae, nunc in Herbipolitano Franconiae Gymnasio ejusdem Societatis Jesu Matheseos Professoris, Technica Curiosa, sive Mirabilia Artis, Libris XII comprehensa ; Quibus varia Experimenta, variaque Technasmata Pneumatica, Hydraulica, Hydrotechnica, Mechanica, Graphica, Cyclometrica, Chronometrica, Automatica, Cabalistica, aliaque Artis arcana ac miracula, rara, curiosa, ingeniosa, magnamque partem nova & antehac inaudita, eruditi Orbis utilitati, delectationi, disceptationique proponuntur Exemplaire bien complet des 60 magnifiques planches hors texte. Elève d'Athanase Kircher à l'université de Würzburg puis son collaborateur à Rome, le jésuite Gaspard Schott (1608-1666) manifesta très tôt son intérêt pour les sciences et la machinerie. De retour à l'université de Wurzburg, il fit connaître les savoirs accumulés par Kircher, et sa renommée s'étendit. Il vulgarise les découvertes de Guericke, Torricelli et Boyle sur le vide, et correspond notamment avec Huygens. Ses oeuvres majeures, dont fait partie sa "Technica curiosa" "sont d'énormes collections non critiques, des mines d'informations désuètes dans lesquelles des pépites significatives doivent être extraites d'une grande quantité de scories. Comme beaucoup de ses contemporains, Schott croyait que les principes de la nature et de l'art se révèlent mieux dans leurs exceptions. Cela fait de lui une source utile sur l'histoire des instruments scientifiques et de la technologie mécanique" (DSB, XII, 211) "La plupart des ouvrages du P. Schott sont curieux, et ils étaient jadis fort recherchés ; on y trouve des observations précieuses, des expériences dignes d'attention, qui on mis les physiciens sur la voie de plus d'une découverte" ( Backer, I, 727). Le présent ouvrage "est un recueil complet des expériences de physique faites jusqu'à cette époque. Dans les deux premiers livres, le P. Schott rend compte des expériences faites à Magdebourg par Otton dde Guericke, et en Angleterre , par Rob. Boyle sur l'air et sur le vide. Il traite, dans les deux suivants, de diverses expériences avec le mercure ; le cinquième et le sixième livre contiennent la description d'un grand nombre de machines remarquables ; le septième est remplie de détails sur la polygraphie universelle du P. Kircher, ouvrage dans lequel ce docte jésuite propose une écriture commune à tous les peuples de la terre ; sur les écritures occultes et merveilleuses ; sur la sténographie ; sur l'origine des chiffres tant romains que ceux que nous nommes arabes ; sur l'origine de différentes sortes d'écriture, etc. Le huitième roule sur le problème de la quadrature du cercle, et les différentes solutions qui en ont été proposées ; le neuvième traite des inventions en usage chez les différents peuples pour mesure le temps ; le dixième, de différents essais tentés pour découvrir le mouvement perpétuel ; le onzième contient la description des machines de physique que l'auteur avait en vue depuis la publication de ses précédents ouvrages ; enfin la douzième forme un Traité de la cabale des Juifs" (Backer, I, 730-731). Backer signale également qu'à "la suite du sixième livre, Schott a réimprimé l'ouvrage du P. Kircher intitulé "Specula Melitensis encyclica, hoc est, Syntagma novam instrumentorum physico-mathematicorum". Bon état de cette rare édition originale bien complète des 60 planches hors texte (mq. de cuir en dos et plats en queue, bon exemplaire par ailleurs). A student of Athanase Kircher at the University of Würzburg and then his collaborator in Rome, the Jesuit Gaspard Schott (1608-1666) showed his interest in science and machinery very early on. Back at the University of Wurzburg, he made known the knowledge accumulated by Kircher, and his fame spread. He popularized the discoveries of Guericke, Torricelli and Boyle on the void, and corresponded in particular with Huygens. His major works, including his "Technica curiosa", "are huge, uncritical collections, mines of quaint information in which significant nuggets must be extracted from a great deal of dross. Like many of his time, Schott believed that the principles of nature and art are best revealed in their exceptions. This make him a useful source on the history of scientific instruments and mechanical technology" (DSB, XII, 211). According to Backer, "most of Father Schott's works are curious, and they were once much sought after; we find there valuable observations, experiments worthy of attention, which have put physicists on the path to more than one discovery" (Backer , I, 727). The present work "is a complete collection of physics experiments carried out up to that time. In the first two books, Father Schott gives an account of the experiments carried out in Magdeburg by Otto dde Guericke, and in England, by Rob. Boyle on air and on vacuum. He treats, in the next two, of various experiments with mercury; the fifth and sixth books contain the description of a large number of remarkable machines; the seventh is filled with details on universal polygraphy by Father Kircher, work in which this learned Jesuit proposes a writing common to all the peoples of the earth; on occult and marvelous writings; on stenography; on the origin of both Roman numerals and those we call Arabic ; on the origin of different kinds of writing, etc.; the tenth, of di.…

Ciencias. Sciences. 4º. Portada calcográfica con el retrato y el escudo de armas del Duque Christian de Mecklenburg. 12 h. + 408 págs. + 10 h. + 32 h. de láminas con numerosas figuras. Hojas algo tostadas. Pergamino, lomo rotulado. Buen ejemplar. [Ref. C2N901]. El jesuita alemán Gaspar Schott, discípulo del celebre científico jesuita Atanasio Kircher, dedicó los últimos años de su vida a recopilar y publicar sus numerosos apuntes sobre temas científicos, entre ellos el dedicado a la divulgación del PANTÓMETRO, instrumento de medición ideado por su maestro Kircher que lo hizo publico en su obra, Magnes sobre el magnetismo. El Pantómetro de Kircher obtuvo la fama cuando el príncipe elector de Maguncía lo uso en 1624 para la medición de una carretera de montaña. Kircher lo usó también para medir las dimensiones del cráter y de la estructura interior del Vesubio. Schott es quien da al pantómetro el nombre de su autor y maestro escribiendo esta obra para explicar al mundo científico como usarlo acompañando la teoría con numerosas láminas explicativas. …
